Hello, I’m Maya!
“I’m Maya and I have been passionate about event planning my entire life and feel lucky to work in such a fun industry. I have been planning events for over 15 years, ranging from personal intimate gatherings to events on the Hill to nonprofit galas and dinners to weddings.
I am a proud mama to two kiddos, Ava and Luke, and our sweet puppy, Lily. And can’t thank my husband Tommy enough for supporting my Honey & Lavender Events dream!
I’d love to get to know you and your vision for your next life’s event.”
Founder & CEO
Hello, I’m JULES!
“Ever since I can remember, I’ve been a planner in every aspect of my life. Whether it’s planning family vacations, creating itineraries for girls trips or making organized spreadsheets.
For me, event planning is about connecting with others and making an idea come to fruition. It’s so rewarding to see people’s faces light up when they walk into an event and I love that I can be a part of some of the happiest moments of their lives. Outside of H&L, I’m a seasoned marketer, always looking for the latest trends on social media. In my free time, you can find me supporting local artists at DC music venues, Flash and Culture.
I’m originally from Ocean City, MD, and moved to the Baltimore area after my undergrad in Communications and PR at Towson University. I currently live in Alexandria, VA and I love the balance of living by the water and being so close to the city. I’m a beach girl by heart, but the city life is where I feel most alive.”
Associate
Hello, I’m Darcy!
“In 2019 I left the corporate world and took the leap into wedding planning! Planning events, holidays, family gatherings and parties has always been a passion of mine and to turn it into my career has been the dream. Being with people on their favorite days is so much fun and a huge honor. In addition to wedding planning, I’m also a virtual assistant for wedding professionals. While Ohio is my home base, I travel to DC often to work in person with my H&L team!
I’m originally from Cleveland, Ohio and have lived in many places including Montana, Washington DC, Austin, and Columbus. I’ve loved all of these places, but I’m a Midwest girl at heart and Ohio is home. Personally, I love road trips, Cleveland sports (for better or worse), laughing at the latest GIFs, meeting new people, and spending time with family, especially my niece and nephews.”
Lead Coordinator
Hello, I’m Christina!
“I love seeing all the pieces come together for an event and love being a part of people’s celebrations and special moments. While event planning has been a part of my various full-time roles, I’ve loved strengthening this muscle through Honey & Lavender. Currently, I am a Global Operations Manager for an advocacy nonprofit and worked as a fundraiser for several years. In addition to event planning, I am seasoned petsitter and childcare provider.
I’m originally from New York City (Queens born & raised) and moved to Washington, D.C. for undergrad and grad school and haven’t left. I am a true city gal (I only recently learned how to drive) and love living in a city, filled with culture, diversity and people who want to do good.”
Lead Coordinator
Hello, I’m Olivia!
“I love event planning and every step of the process — from the beginning stages to the final product. For me, event planning is about connecting with people and making their vision come to life. In addition to being an Event Assistant with H&L, I am a full-time graduate student at Georgetown University pursuing a Master of Arts in Security Studies.
I am originally from Lexington, Kentucky but have been in Washington, D.C. for my undergraduate and now graduate studies. I am so excited to connect with everyone and be a small portion of your happiest memories!”

What Our Clients Say…
“I had a new years wedding this year with lots of moving parts. H&L made my day flow FLAWLESSLY, I was able to thoroughly enjoy my wedding day along with my guests and there were literally NO HICCUPS or fires to put out on my end at all, all day. I can’t speak highly enough of H&L – my day was perfect because of Maya and Christina!
They are INCREDIBLY organized, thorough, thoughtful planners who have an incredible eye for design and think of every corner case that might come up. If you want a perfect wedding, you go to these folks – you’re doing it wrong if you go anywhere else!”
