About Me

Jazmin is the Founder and Creative Director of Anyvent Event Planning and built the company on the belief that beautiful weddings begin with meaningful relationships. Jazmin has always been drawn to the creative side of celebrations; how thoughtful details, intentional design, and a well-orchestrated experience can tell a couple’s story in a way that feels both personal and unforgettable. For her, the heart of the work has always been the people. Getting to know her couples, building trust, and guiding them through such an important season of life is what continues to inspire her most. Anyvent came to life shortly after Jazmin moved to Charlottesville, Virginia with her then-boyfriend (now husband). In a new city without an established network, she began planning weddings as a creative outlet and a way to connect with the community around her. What started as a small passion project quickly grew as word spread about her warm approach, thoughtful eye for design, and ability to make the planning process feel calm and enjoyable. Over the years, that small idea has grown into the Anyvent team, serving couples across multiple cities while still holding onto the same relationship-first philosophy it began with. More recently, Jazmin has discovered a new passion alongside wedding planning: mentorship. Through her coaching platform, Beyond the Bustle, she supports fellow wedding professionals, especially mothers, who are navigating the unique challenges of running a business in such a demanding industry. Drawing from her own experience balancing entrepreneurship and family life, Jazmin helps women build businesses that are both successful and sustainable, so they can grow their careers without losing sight of the life they want outside of them.

Anyvent Event Planning is a boutique wedding planning and design firm known for creating celebrations that feel as meaningful as they are beautiful. Anyvent began with a simple philosophy: weddings should feel deeply personal, thoughtfully designed, and supported by a planning experience that allows couples to stay present for every moment. What started as a small Charlottesville-based company has grown into a trusted planning team serving couples throughout Washington, DC, Northern Virginia, Charlottesville, and Chicago, with celebrations spanning elegant vineyard estates, historic venues, and iconic city landmarks. At the heart of Anyvent’s approach is the belief that exceptional weddings are built through relationships and storytelling. Each couple’s planning journey begins with understanding their values, traditions, and the moments that matter most to them. From there, the team collaborates closely with couples and a carefully curated network of industry professionals to design celebrations that feel authentic, seamless, and unforgettable. Known for their calm presence and meticulous attention to detail, the Anyvent team brings both strategic organization and creative vision to every step of the process. Anyvent specializes in full-service planning, design, and elevated wedding management, supporting couples through the many moving pieces of a wedding weekend while ensuring the experience feels joyful rather than overwhelming. Their approach blends refined design with thoughtful logistics, allowing couples and their families to remain fully present while every detail unfolds effortlessly behind the scenes. Over the years, Anyvent has built a reputation for creating weddings that are both elegant and approachable: celebrations where beauty meets warmth and every detail tells a piece of the couple’s story. With a deep commitment to collaboration, hospitality, and genuine connection, the team considers it an honor to guide couples through one of the most meaningful seasons of their lives. At its core, Anyvent believes a wedding is not simply an event to be produced...it is a story to be told, a community to be gathered, and a moment in time that deserves to be remembered with joy.
