Risa James Events | Sacramento Event Planner
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
As of February 2025, I am no longer booking new weddings. I will be retiring at the end of the 2025 season, and my wedding calendar is full. I am still taking new bookings for non-wedding events (such as bridal showers, birthday parties, retirement parties, quinceañeras, corporate events, etc.)
If you are looking for help with a non-wedding event, please click here for the inquiry form.
If you need help with preparing your wedding timeline, please click here to read more about the timeline services I still offer.
Risa Weaver-Enion
At Risa James Events, I help clients design, plan, and execute their ideal special event. I promise transparency, responsiveness, and professionalism every step along the way. I value honesty and integrity, both in my clients and in myself. Above all, I want my clients to look back on their event and say, “We couldn’t imagine a better event, and we couldn’t have done it without you!”
As a former lawyer, Risa brings a unique perspective to event planning. She can help you with contract reviews and is always looking to minimize risk and liability. When you hire Risa James Events, you work directly with Risa throughout the process, and she will be your hands-on planner at your event. Your special occasion won’t be passed off to an associate planner or assistant. We book only one event per weekend, to ensure that you get the personalized service you deserve.
“Risa possessed the perfect combination of experience, poise, and presence to guide my bride - and everyone else - through the details and stress of a long day. I had complete faith that everything was going to run smoothly because of her.”
