Our Story
Blake began officiating weddings in 2013 and the same year he started his first company within the industry, Weddings By Blake. Over a two-year period, Blake officiated hundreds of weddings, but it was during this time that he discovered his true passion: wedding planning and execution. Through hard work and perseverance, Blake became a Certified Wedding Planner with The Association of Bridal Consultants. In 2016 Blake rebranded the company to Occasions Events & Design. Tiffany and Alex joined the Occasions Leadership team in 2023.

Team
Blake began officiating weddings in 2013 and the same year he started his first company within the industry, Weddings By Blake. Over a two-year period, Blake officiated hundreds of weddings, but it was during this time that he discovered his true passion: wedding planning and execution. Through hard work and perseverance, Blake became a Certified Wedding Planner with The Association of Bridal Consultants. In 2016 Blake rebranded the company to Occasions Events & Design. For the next four years, Blake continued to provide the DFW area with the highest quality service. In 2020, Occasions Events & Design merged with Michaelz Media and became a powerhouse in the industry.
In 2021, Blake took a step back from Occasions to spend more quality time with his family, while taking a consultant role. During his time off, Blake never felt content and was overcome by the urge to return to the business he built from the ground up. He began a partnership with Tiffany Hartman, a graphic artist with over 20 years of experience (and current Chief Operating Officer), and together they began restructuring Occasions and its services while taking care to ensure our clients and their events are our TOP PRIORITY.
Our team is constantly growing, so while Blake himself may not be your lead coordinator, we can assure you he oversees every aspect of your event down to the last detail. One of Blake’s greatest strengths is his attention to detail, his eye for design is unrivaled, and his A-Z planning style will guarantee that your experience will be one to remember.
Alex began working in the weddings industry on a whim when Blake asked her to join the team for an event in 2017, and has been in love with event planning and execution ever since. Her passion is helping Blake grow the business and providing the highest level of quality for weddings and events of all sizes. For her there is truly nothing more rewarding than helping our clients create their dream event, whatever it takes.
After taking some time away from the industry to grow her family and focus on building her skills, she is excited to return to events and to Occasions as a partner with Blake and Tiffany. Alex has extensive recent experience in managing and leading operational teams, training top-notch staff, and managing client and vendor relationships, and she is ready to put her skills to work for our clients! As Chief Customer Officer, Alex will work with Blake to ensure every aspect of our clients' events meets their satisfaction, including training and staffing event teams, communicating with clients to build their vision with them, and cultivating relationships with our industry's leading vendors to provide the highest level of quality service. Along with her teams, she is ready to take on any challenge and help make your event a success!
"There is nothing more satisfying or rewarding to me than being able to see the look on our clients' faces when we execute their dream. I'm so excited to get to work!" - Alex Goggin
