ELYSE LIBURD

FOUNDER-LEAD EVENT PLANNER

Hailing from the City of Roses and Rain (Portland, Oregon), I have been in the Event Planning and Hospitality industry for over a decade. After spending ten years on the East Coast and receiving my Bachelor's of Fine Arts in Philadelphia, I decided to bring my passion for events back to the West Coast. I have worked as an Event Coordinator in New York City and Los Angeles, hosting events for Justin Bieber, Coca-Cola, the WNBA, the American Music Awards and many more. As a wedding planner under the leadership of one of California’s top 10 wedding planners (Junebug Magazine), “RockNEvents," I fell in love with executing the most perfect day.

My goal is to ensure that leading up to your big day, you have complete trust and reassurance that everything will go smoothly. It is always my mission to make each and every client feel that when they chose Burd’s Eye Events, they are choosing not just the best planner, but also a confidant, colleague, (sometimes) therapist, and friend.

I currently live in Portland, OR with my husband, daughter, and son. I love coffee and wine (mainly Pinot Noir), great BBC Netflix dramas, and spending as much time as I can with my family outdoors.

Burd’s Eye Events looks forward to planning your event next!

DE'NAY RICHARDS

ASSISTANT WEDDING COORDINATOR

As a Texas native, over the last 7 years, I've participated in a wide variety of events. From conferences and workshops to weddings and festivals, and everything in between. I love helping people create lasting bonds and fun memories. After receiving my Bachelors in Special Event Management from the University of North Texas, I went to Scotland to pursue a Master's degree in International Festival and Event Management.

Now back from Scotland, with my boots strapped up and Pinterest at my fingertips, I am excited to share my passion with the PNW. As an assistant coordinator with Burd's Eye Events, I will work to deliver memorable experiences for all our clients! I look forward to working with you all!

DEANNA SIEGEL

ASSISTANT WEDDING COORDINATOR

Hi everyone! I am a Los Angeles native with a lifelong passion for event design. I have coordinated events for the music education nonprofit, the Zawinul Foundation for Achievement, and for the New York Film Academy and I served as an event consultant for Bright Event Rentals. Weddings are special to me because they celebrate the unique connection between two people in love and because there are so many different ways to celebrate; no two weddings are the same. I cannot wait to be a part of your special day!
