time spent
in paris
The name Soiree derives from the French word "soir", meaning “evening.” By definition, a soirée is an elegant evening gathering held for a special purpose — a beautiful reflection of what we create for our couples: intentional celebrations filled with romance, warmth, and unforgettable moments.
Paris has always held a special place in my heart. I was proposed to at the top of the Eiffel Tower — a moment that forever intertwined my love story with the city of love. That chapter of my life, filled with romantic evenings, European adventures, and the beginning of my own marriage, became the inspiration behind Houston Soiree.
While I adore the artistry of florals, linens, candlelight, and curated details, I never lose sight of what a wedding truly represents — the sacred beginning of a couple’s new life together. My husband and I have been together for over eleven years, navigating life’s twists and turns side by side. That journey has shaped how I approach every wedding day: with reverence, intention, and a deep understanding that this is just the beginning of something extraordinary.
After a transformative month spent traveling through Europe with my husband, I knew I wanted to build something that honored romance, elegance, and meaningful connection — all while serving couples in the city we proudly call home: Houston.
It would be an honor to learn more about your story and to thoughtfully design the celebration that marks the start of your next chapter.
Cheers to your engagement — and to the beautiful adventure ahead.

Arianna is one of our Lead Planners. You will likely see Arianna on wedding days running around and making sure everything behind the scene are taking care of. When she’s not gushing over how beautiful our brides’ wedding dresses are, you can find her lining up your wedding party, to confirming with vendors, and setting up and straightening your reception tables and chairs.
Arianna’s favorite moment is when the bride is being walked down the aisle by her parent. It is a sentimental and special moment for not just the couple but their parents as well. Having to witness the union of two special people among their closest friends and family is a heartwarming sight to see.

ASSOCIATE PLANNER | LEAD COORDINATOR
If you’re seeking an experienced planner and designer who feels both professional and personal — someone you can openly collaborate with, share ideas over lunch, and trust to advocate for your best interests — you are in the right place.
We believe exceptional celebrations begin with genuine connection. By taking the time to truly understand each couple and their families, we’re able to design weddings that feel deeply personal and beautifully reflective of your story. While every celebration we curate is entirely bespoke, our clients typically invest between $80,000 and $250,000+ in their wedding experience. We work with a range of guest counts and aesthetics, embracing everything from classic and romantic to modern, whimsical, and garden-inspired designs.
To ensure the highest level of service and attention, we do not offer day-of coordination. Our minimum offering begins with Month-of Coordination, starting 2–3 months prior to the wedding date. We intentionally accept a limited number of clients each year to preserve an exceptional and highly tailored experience.
We invite you to connect with us to schedule a complimentary consultation and begin designing your celebration.
While we love planning weddings, we are available to plan all kinds of events, big or small!
