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.

Exceptional Vendor!

I cannot recommend Occasions Events & Design enough! Blake Herrera and his assistant Frida made our wedding day the best stress-free day ever! Having Blake working behind the scenes was the best gift I gave myself and having him as the contact person for all of my other vendors took a lot off of my to do list. They did an exceptional job of setting up the decorations without my having to micro-manage every detail. Blake also worked well with my venue event planner to get us space to store the decorations after the wedding. When Frida followed me around so she could hold my glasses while we took pictures all the while handing me water to stay hydrated, I truly felt like a princess. I truly wish I could hire them to be my everyday assistant!

AMAZING people who helped to make my wedding perfect!

Occasions Events and Designs have done nothing but exceed expectations! Blake has been so incredibly responsive from the beginning, responding to even the smallest of questions within 24 hours (but commonly within only minutes to a few hours). Frida and Shea who we worked with the day of the wedding were so patient, calm, and I could not be more thankful to how much they helped direct everyone (including myself!) throughout the entire day. These people are truly professionals and so pleasant to work with. They made sure that everything ran as smoothly as possible with no hiccups! They truly helped to make our special day perfect!

Amazing Coordinators!

We hired Occasions for Day of Coordination. Blake was always quick to respond to our questions and available for advice. It was such a relief to have a professional managing the vendors, installations and wedding party. Frida, Lead Coordinator and her assistant, Shea, were our coordinators for the day. Blake still stopped in to check on us. All three were delightful to work with. They were professional and managed all the details efficiently.
