What is a Conscious Wedding Planner?

One who focuses on the process of marriage, as an alchemical transition for the couple.

Who’s ethos includes the art of gathering, and guiding the the souls involved through connection, not just creating a beautiful party. Although, of course we can have both.

One who honors the earth, and chooses to work with couples who want to soften their impact.

Weddings are one of the few ceremonial events we maintain in the modern world.
Through these events, we have an opportunity to come together, and shift huge amounts of energy. This alters the course of not just our lives, but our decedents, family, and community.

Planning a wedding with me is a lot more than seating charts, budgets, and moodboards.

I take the emotional, and spiritual aspects into account, and help you create an event that aligns with your deepest truths.

I celebrate marriage equality! And take great pride in serving couples of all orientations. I maintain relationships with vendors who uphold the idea that love is love.

My name is Cassandra Lorien

I’ve been in the wedding industry for almost a decade, I began as an accessories designer, studying at FIT in New York City.
But my story truly begins when I opened Crescent Bound Events in New Orleans Spring of 2018.

The pandemic years were a wild time for events to say the least. After the dust cleared, I found myself asking what was truly important? I put my career on hold, and took time to re-calibrate.
As a result my values as a person, and planner have come more into alignment with who I am.

Love and beauty have always been at the core of what I do, but now I am now focused entirely on planning smaller events, and conscious weddings.

I offer event planning primarily in New Orleans, the city that continues to take my breath away, and host the most incredible celebrations.

I am now available for destination event planning with no travel fees in The Front Range of Colorado, Nosara Costa Rica, and throughout Ireland.

All of these places are part of my story, and I maintain deep personal connections with the landscapes, and people.

Other services:

I plan other event types, such as international creative retreats.
I am a poet and songwriter/carrier, holding songs in 14 languages such as my ancestral Irish Gaelic, Spanish, Occitan, Sanskrit, Ladino, Basque, Arabic and many others.
I can join your event as an officiant, or ceremonial singer.
