You need a planning partner that can help you design and curate an elevated experience for you and your guests.
You have a strong sense of personal style, but you’re struggling to translate that into the tangible details that go into creating an unforgettable event experience.
You’re feeling disenchanted by the reality of planning an event of this magnitude, while simultaneously attempting to balance the other important priorities in your life.
Ultimately, you want an event that highlights your sense of style and aligns with your taste level. In order to do that, you need the right partnership. Which has brought you to us.
Get in touch
We know adding event planning to an already full plate can be challenging.
We also know that when you add the pressure of balancing your wants and needs, with the opinions of the important people in your inner circle, planning an event becomes even more difficult.
We’ll partner with you throughout this process to help you tactfully mediate those delicate situations, determine what to-do’s need your attention, and ultimately translate your vision into a sophisticated, stylish event that your guests can’t stop raving about.

The Philosophy.
The founders of Mavinhouse have over a decade of experience in the events industry, and Mavinhouse’s sister company 42 North has been nationally recognized by major media outlets including Brides, Vogue, and Harpers.
Seeing a gap in the industry, founders Britt Cole and Francie Dorman created Mavinhouse to serve a stylish, sophisticated client, from Maine to Charleston and beyond, who wants to be involved in the process of curating and designing their celebration.
When you’re ready to take the next step, you can easily access our calendar in order to schedule a time to talk. Or if you’d like more information about our services, you can fill out our contact form and we’ll get back to you via email.
You shouldn’t have to waste your time with a consultation just to find out the bottom line. We are upfront about the investment for each level of support we offer, right from the very beginning.
We make sure planning seamlessly integrates into your life with things like text reminders about important to-do’s and payment deadlines. Our goal is that you feel involved in the process, not overtaken by it.
At Mavinhouse, we partner with our clients to design an event that is a unique representation of their personal style. Therefore, each client is thoughtfully matched with a planner based on their locale, personality, design aesthetic, and overall event needs.

The Approach.
We view the relationship with our clients as a partnership, rather than a transaction. As such, we call our different levels of support (a.k.a. the packages) we offer, “partnerships” to reflect this philosophy.
No matter where you are in the process of planning your event, or how much support you need, our planners can step in and work with you to create an unforgettable event experience.
