let's celebrate together

The Experience

PLANNING

We approach planning from a logistics, design + human perspective.

Pretty creations need to be executed flawlessly behind the scenes, and you should enjoy the process of seeing them come to life. This is where our team thrives! We are with you throughout the entire process. From finding the perfect venue to managing your budget or selecting linen colors - our team will be there to hold your hand. We cannot wait to get to know you + your families.

DESIGN

A passion for creative, handcrafted events that you and your guests will never forget.

We want each celebration to be a unique reflection of your personal style and most importantly, your story. Let's work together to curate a wedding that is memorable + beautiful. Our design approach is incredibly hands-on, and we partner with the best in the industry to create the wedding of your dreams.

LOVE NOTES

Simply put, Blaire is the best. She not only helped me plan my wedding - but also helped my family host the most beautiful bridal shower.

I live out of state + only planned for a handful of trips to New Jersey for initial venue touring, makeup & hair trial, and food tasting. Blaire took care of all of my other venue visits and in-person meetings. She sent me videos of florals, table options, venue updates - everything. She even made time to show my father-in-law around the wedding town when he was passing through during his travels. I cannot imagine planning a wedding out of state without her. She was my eyes, ears, and trusted helper, and often decision maker throughout it all.

ABOUT

Our Story

Gilded Lily Events meticulously curates custom weddings for each of their couples.

In business since 2012, we have had the honor of being a part of hundreds of weddings + celebrations. We will be your biggest cheerleader and your best advocate. We are very proud of our past couple’s testimonials because happy couples are why we do what we do. Most importantly, this day is about a marriage, and we want you + your families to be fully present to enjoy this momentous endeavor.

We are based in New Jersey + enjoy traveling throughout the tri-state area, and beyond. Lead designer, Blaire Katz, is focused on building detail-driven events that reflect your personalities explicitly. Blaire’s career began with a degree in event management, and a job at a stationery shop. From there, she has explored venue + catering management roles - and ultimately realized her love for design needed to be front + center… and here we are!
