ABOUT

Our foundation: built on experience + trust

We've been planning events for over 20 years now! We've seen so much in that time frame and have endless experience to draw from - from countless vendor connections + relationships, to knowing who to trust with your specific event needs. Autumn is also a professionally trained artist, so we understand the mechanics of design as well. You won't find a more qualified or experienced planner + designer to trust with your event needs within the state of Montana.

THE EVENTS BY AUTUMN STORY

OUR HISTORY

Autumn started off as a graduate from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (go TARHEELS!) with degrees in both Studio Art + Costume Design. She knew she wanted to be in the events industry immediately out of school, but she wanted a well rounded experience, as there are so many different facets to event planning, and she wanted to learn it all!

Before even opening Events by Autumn, Autumn already had over a decade of event planning experience under her belt.

 

She was an Event Manager at a luxury casino & resort, where she had the opportunity to work with many well known names, like Trisha Yearwood, Miranda Lambert, the Beach Boys, and many more.  She planned half-million dollar theme parties, public concerts, and endless promotional events. This part of her career allowed the creativity shine. 

 

She then moved from high-end event planning into roles as a Director of Catering for international hotel chains like Hilton & Millennium owned properties. This gave her the opportunity to plan thousands of events, and work with more public names, like Hilary Clinton, Sarah Palin, and more. Although the creativity was never at rest, she learned how to manage dozens of simultaneous events, by creating strong organizational structures, many of which are still used by those organizations!

Following this, she became a Marketing Director, where she was able to bring her art background back into play - creating websites, promotional materials, and memorable theme parties.

 

Combining her organizational skills, creativity, and artistic abilities, she then opened the doors to Events by Autumn and the rest is history!  She has been in business over 10 years now, and has grown the business into a very successful enterprise. She is a top tier planner as the starting foundation, but she also enjoys building one-of-a-kind decor, stitching custom linens, or creating custom graphic designs, so no two events are ever the same!

ABOUT AUTUMN

Professional Wedding Planner • Fine Artist + Graphic Designer • Incognito Cowgirl • Amateur HOMESTEADER • Mountain Dew Connoisseur 

 

 

 

 

 

Although she grew up in a city environment, Autumn is proud to call Montana her home, and absolutely loves her life here. She’s never “not working,” but when she has free-time, she spends it getting back to nature. She loves the Great outdoors, camping with her dad, and fishing for the largest Musky she can find. She also works on her garden, and has turned her log cabin into a homestead, where she cans her own vegetables, makes her own cheese, and tends to her chickens, goats, bees, and horses. She is a dog person, - momma to Rowdy + Finn, but has a cat that might as well be a dog. She is an avid equestrian, and enjoys running and competitively swimming.  The Montana life is everything she hoped it would be, and Autumn feels fortunate to be able to run such a successful business here.

Autumn also has a passion for travel, and even lived abroad in Europe. She is sensitive to cultural differences, and has worked with clients with a variety of religious backgrounds and nationalities.

Autumn is passionate about what she does, and has an incredibly strong work ethic. With a professional, but sarcastic personality, and a need for every event to be a success, she puts in the blood, sweat and tears to make even the biggest challenges a reality.  She always loves an opportunity to focus on the creative details involved, but she also works equally hard to advocate for her clients, and pair everyone with the best vendors based on each event's specific style + budget.

THE SUMMER SQUAD

THE EVENT LOGISTICS TEAM

 

 

We have an amazing summer squad of experienced wedding & event professionals, who assist with our Montana weddings.  Our team comes from many different parts of Western Montana, and we build the team depending on the location of our events.  Our Crew consists of  aspiring young event planners, professional florists, restaurant managers, and even school administrators and police detectives!  These ladies choose to spend their weekends with us, helping Events by Autumn pull off some really spectacular events.  Many of the ladies on our Summer Squad have been with Events by Autumn for many years so they understand what needs to get done.  We love our summer crew, and can't thank them enough for their positive energy, determination, and attention to detail.  They care about their job, and work hard to make your day perfect!  We're lucky to have built such an amazing crew of hard working ladies.
