About this vendor

Your wedding is more than a beautiful event. It's months of decisions, conversations, moving pieces, and meaningful details coming together for one day you'll remember for the rest of your life.

At Opal & Ivory Event Planning, our job is to make sure you actually get to experience it.

Founded by two cousins and built from a genuine love for bringing people together, Opal & Ivory is a women-owned wedding and event planning company based in Westminster, Maryland, serving couples throughout Maryland, Southern Pennsylvania, and select destination locations.

You Bring the Vision. We Take It From There.

Our couples aren't looking for someone to simply show up with a clipboard on their wedding day. They're looking for a team they can trust enough to hand over the details and let go.

That's where we thrive.

We work alongside our couples to understand exactly what they envision—and then take ownership of bringing it together. From wedding planning and vendor coordination to venue walkthroughs, floor plans, design details, décor setup, and minute-by-minute wedding timelines, we build the structure behind your celebration.

And when wedding day arrives? We're in it.

We're communicating with vendors, watching the timeline, managing setup, anticipating what's coming next, making decisions, solving problems, and pivoting when necessary—often before you ever know there was something to solve.

Our Version of Luxury Is Knowing It's Handled.

We don't believe luxury wedding planning is defined by a label, a venue, or how much you spend.

To us, luxury is a level of service.

It's not having to answer vendor questions while you're getting ready. It's not checking whether the ceremony space is set. It's not wondering if the photographer knows what's happening next or whether dinner is running behind.

It's looking around on your wedding day and realizing you don't have to manage a single thing.

You remain at the heart of every decision and every detail. We simply give you the freedom to relinquish the responsibility without relinquishing your voice.

Because after months of planning, you deserve to remember how your wedding felt—not how hard you worked to make it happen.

Maryland, Southern Pennsylvania & Beyond

Based in Westminster, Maryland, Opal & Ivory provides professional wedding planning and wedding coordination throughout Carroll County, Frederick County, Baltimore County, Howard County, and surrounding Maryland communities, as well as Gettysburg, Hanover, York, and Southern Pennsylvania.

And when your vision takes you farther? So do we.

Destination wedding planning and coordination is available for select celebrations beyond Maryland and Pennsylvania.

Your vision. Our execution. Your moment to live it.

Highly Recommend

Absolutely recommend. 10/10. Grace and her team went above and beyond. From the start of the wedding planning process they were kind, attentive, heavily detailed and completely committed to making our wedding the most special day. They proactively worked with our other vendors and made sure everything was taken care of. If you are looking for an outstanding coordinator/team I would highly recommend Opal and Ivory. Looking back, I could not imagine our day without them.

Yassssssss!

Working with Opal & Ivory LLC for my milestone birthday celebration was nothing short of exceptional. From the very first consultation, they centered my voice, my priorities, and the feeling I wanted my event to embody. They took the time to understand what mattered most to me, and that intentionality showed in every detail of the final experience.

Despite significant vendor challenges — including unresponsiveness, unclear communication, and a tight turnaround timeline — Opal & Ivory navigated everything with professionalism and calm expertise. They always had a plan ready. Their communication was clear, proactive, and rooted in genuine passion for their craft. Their work ethic is unmatched.

Contract expectations were transparent from the beginning, and they ensured every vendor stayed compliant. They checked in with me often, asked for feedback, and made sure I felt informed without ever feeling overwhelmed.

And the event itself? Simply amazing.
I don’t know what went on behind the scenes, but I felt the care and curation in every moment. I had what I needed before I even knew I needed it. I smiled and danced all night. Cleanup was effortless. The entire experience felt elevated, seamless, and deeply personal.

Opal & Ivory LLC has earned my trust, my gratitude, and my first call for every future event.

A special shout‑out to Grace, the owner, whose leadership, creativity, and dedication shine through in every detail.

Stress free baby shower

Absolutely amazing customer service!! I gave some inspiration pictures and it was brought to life without any of the stress of planning it was an amazing baby shower I couldn’t have asked for it to have been more perfect! The party went smoothly with the schedule we planned for and everything was right on time and all managed by Cheyenne so that I didn’t have to do anything other than enjoy the party. Thank you so much Opal & Ivory !!
