We are so excited to announce that we have a new addition to the EVOKE team, please help us in welcoming Taylor!

Taylor graduated from the University of Virginia in 2014 and, after getting married, moved to the DC area. Although she majored in American Government, Taylor decided to leave politics behind to pursue her true passion for event planning. Originally from the Mississippi Gulf Coast, Taylor tries to bring a little Southern hospitality to everything she does. 

While at UVA, Taylor was the president of the Virginia Belles, an all female a cappella group. She was also a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma Sorority, Student Council and performed in musical theater. In her free time, Taylor enjoys long runs around the National Mall, cooking, drinking coffee, listening to Broadway soundtracks, eating peanut butter with a spoon and hiding from the cold weather whenever possible. 

We have been waiting and waiting to share this celebration with you all!

Very different from a traditional Wedding, our couple Holly and Sanjiv had a small and intimate destination Wedding last Summer at the Four Seasons Nevis, but wanted to still have a wonderful celebration with their family and friends at home in Washington D.C. The celebration was an elegant mix of an Indian bazaar and upscale carnival at the Andrew Mellon Auditorium in the heart of downtown Washington D.C..  The room was laid out like a market, with wooden market booths accented with lush, colorful fabrics and string lights to create areas for games, food stations, dining tables and lounge areas.  The florals were designed with a south Asian flair in shades of plum, deep burgundy, antique gold, copper and deep blue with accents of ostrich plumes and peacock feathers. The floral and décor treatments included exotic elements such as hanging jewels, tropical foliage and succulents. Occasions knocked it out of the park with an exciting dining experience and SoundConnection kept everyone on their feet all night long.

Take a peek into the transformation of the Mellon Auditorium for Holly and Sanjiv’s wedding celebration!
