Weddings are emotional, beautiful, and – let’s be honest – complex. That’s where I come in. I’m Arcadia Vella, founder of AV Weddings & Events – built on the belief that every couple deserves to feel fully present on their wedding day.

With years of experience in event management and project management, I approach every celebration with the same blend of structure and composure. My background in hospitality, event planning, and project management allows me to bring both precision and heart to every wedding – anticipating details before they become distractions and ensuring your vision unfolds seamlessly.

But beyond timelines and logistics, I’m someone who finds joy in connection. I have lived in Michigan all my life and have spent most summers taking family trips to Northern Michigan, surrounded by the joy of lake days, small towns, and long sunsets – experiences that shaped my love for meaningful moments and intentional gatherings. I later lived and worked on Mackinac Island, where the charm of Island weddings and the couples I worked with deepened my appreciation for what makes each celebration unique.

To me, weddings are more than events – they’re living stories. My goal is to help you experience yours with confidence, genuine joy, and lasting memories.
