About us
Our Mission is your ovation
At Ovation Event Solutions, we believe every celebration deserves a round of applause. Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, we’re a full-service event planning and décor company specializing in the business of transforming ordinary spaces into unforgettable experiences. We work with couples, hosts, and businesses who want their events to feel intentional, elevated, and fun without the overwhelm. All of our packages include item delivery, professional setup, and full breakdown after your event. That way, you can focus more on celebrating rather than lifting, styling, or cleaning up. Whether you have a wedding, birthday, corporate event, or private celebration, our planning and décor packages are designed to set the tone and spark excitement. Bring us your idea, and we’ll design your unique, applause-worthy moment.
Meet the Co-Owners
We are a newlywed, wife-and-wife powerhouse delivering more than just decor—we create atmospheres. At Ovation Event Solutions, we believe every guest deserves to feel seen and every host deserves to feel supported. Whether we’re designing for the LGBTQ+ community or our straight allies, our mission is always the same: to command excellence and ensure every event earns its standing ovation. Joy isn’t just shared here; it’s planned.
Design Coordinator
Elisha Morrow
Elisha’s background as a Registered Nurse instilled in her a unique ability to remain calm, empathetic, and decisive in high-pressure environments. Her years in healthcare taught her that the best “care” is rooted in the details—understanding a client’s needs before they even voice them. She translates this compassion into event design, ensuring every guest feels seen and every moment feels intentional.
Outside of the “Ovation” world, Elisha is a world-builder at heart—whether she’s designing architectural mansions in The Sims or exploring immersive landscapes in Skyrim. She is a dedicated cat-mom and the proud architect of the household’s rock playlists.
Operations Strategist
Zepher Barber
With five years of experience as a government Environmental Safety and Health Compliance Officer/ Inspector, Zepher brings a level of precision to event management that is rarely found in the creative industry. She views every floor plan and vendor contract through a lens of safety, logistics, and public well-being. At Ovation, she ensures that behind every beautiful design is a structurally sound, well-managed, and flawlessly executed plan.
When she isn’t networking, Zepher is a tennis enthusiast and songwriter with a deep love for the high-energy complexity of rock music. She believes that a great event, much like a great song, requires the perfect balance of technical skill, empathy, and creativity.
OUR CORE VALUES
- Connection Comes First – Every design choice we make is rooted in helping guests connect, celebrate, and feel something real.
- Create, Not Copy and Paste – We love color, personality, and breaking away from how it’s always been done. Your event should feel like you, not a copy-and-paste of someone else’s idea.
- Thoughtful Execution – Behind every fun moment is careful planning and attention to detail. We handle the safe setup and breakdown of materials to ensure an enjoyable experience.
- Inclusive by Design – As a proudly LGBT-owned business, we create welcoming spaces where everyone feels seen, celebrated, and safe.
- Community Over Competition – We love collaborating with local creatives, small businesses, and venues. When our community thrives, everyone’s events get better.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What types of events do you work on?
We plan just about anything you can think of! Examples include weddings, microweddings, proposals, anniversaries, birthdays, bachelorx parties, and corporate group gatherings. We design in venues, private residences, Airbnb rentals, backyards, and select indoor or paved outdoor venues.
Do you offer procurement-only or shopping services?

Is there a minimum or maximum guest count?
At this time, our services are best suited for events of up to approximately 200 guests. This allows us to maintain our level of detail, care, and hands-on execution for every event.
Do you handle setup and breakdown?
Always. Setup and breakdown are included in all Ovation décor packages so you can focus on enjoying the moment without worrying about logistics.
Can I use my own décor or mix in items I’ve purchased?
We’re happy to incorporate select client-provided items when they align with the overall design and setup plan. All items must be approved in advance to ensure safety, quality, and cohesive styling.
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking decor packages at least 2 months in advance when possible. Shorter timelines may be accommodated based on availability.
Do you offer last-minute or same-week events?
We may be able to accommodate short-notice events depending on scope and availability. Because of planning and sourcing requirements, availability is not guaranteed and additional fees may apply.
