Risa Weaver-Enion

At Risa James Events, I help engaged couples design, plan, and execute their ideal wedding, whether it’s an intimate outdoor gathering or a grand ballroom affair. 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 the couple to look back on their wedding and say, “We couldn’t imagine a better wedding day and we couldn’t have done it without you!”

As a former lawyer, Risa brings a unique perspective to wedding 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 on your wedding day. Your wedding won’t be passed off to an associate planner or assistant. We book only one wedding 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.
