Axios Austin Featured Interview

 

Our founder, Becky Navarro, was recently featured in Axios Austin, where she offered her expertise and insights into the event planning industry. With 15 years of experience, Becky has played a significant role in shaping Austin’s wedding scene and in establishing Pearl Events as one of the city’s leading event-planning companies.

 

In the interview, Becky spotlights emerging trends, noting that couples are moving away from traditional all-white weddings in favor of vibrant colors, personal touches, and intentional design choices. She stresses the significance of creating a wedding that genuinely reflects the couple’s personalities and values.

 

Becky also encourages newly engaged couples to hire a planner early, noting that planners bring industry expertise and can guide them through the process. She recommends that couples share inspiration images with their planner for each element, like the cake, bouquet, and invitations, since Pearl Events can craft a cohesive wedding vision from just one photo. Finally, Becky explains that “big weddings are back with a bang,” as more people seek meaningful, in-person celebrations.

 

Thank you to Axios for providing Becky with a platform to share her perspective and showcase her industry experience.
