Catherine abel

Catherine is a California girl at heart but through the years, she has come to love all things Portland! Born and raised in Southern California, Catherine moved to Oregon in 2012 and hasn’t looked back since. She attended the University of Oregon focusing on Public Relations and Visual Communications.

As long as she can remember, Catherine has dreamed of planning weddings and events. With the unique experience of spending time working in Los Angeles as well as Portland, Catherine has an upscale and refined yet spirited style. Catherine’s love for a unique escort card display, carefully thought out personal details, and perfectly executed timeline are just a few reasons she excels in event planning. 

Outside of planning weddings, Catherine enjoys finding the yummiest brunch spots in Portland, finding the best new workout spot, and wine tasting with family and friends.

Catherine is exceedingly detailed, thorough, and always five steps ahead. She is an excellent communicator; direct but kind and understanding, and you truly feel like she is your advocate amongst a world of crazy wedding vendors. There were zero surprises with Catherine. She is extremely trustworthy, connected, intelligent, and most of all, sweet and hilarious. I enjoyed working with her so much and would recommend her to absolutely anyone. She is a true professional and so talented!
