Crave Event Co was born from the deep passion to bring people together in a thoughtful and genuine way.

Growing up, gathering around the dinner table as a family was one of the most sacred times of the day for Haley Bell and her family. One of Haley’s first jobs was washing dishes at dinner parties as a teenager. She loved being around that environment even at a young age. It eventually led her to working in events in the wine industry, and most recently as a weddings and event planner for Sinclair and Moore Events. 

A couple of years into wedding planning, Haley Bell and Catherine Llevano met at a fitness studio in 2017. They discovered that not only did they share a love for fitness, but they also shared a love for bringing people together. Catherine Llevano has a background in hotel and restaurant hospitality as well as motivating individuals through group fitness classes. Together they started working weddings, which organically grew into their own clients hiring them to plan and design weddings and events.

They realized that the art of gathering around the table with intentionality felt lost and they wanted to bring it back through hosting communal dinner parties, as well as planning and designing weddings and events. They thrive on creating backdrops for their clients to feel seen, heard, and celebrated in the way that is most unique and genuine to them. 

Haley has the ability to calm the nerves of the most nervous of brides, taking the stress out of the planning process for their clients, and making sure they feel extremely taken care of. Catherine brings the fun, the dreaming of big ideas and the ability to make everyone feel connected. Together, they crave intentional community, beautiful design, and connection with their clients.
