ABOUT US

Hey, I’m Ella — the founder and lead planner behind Pretty Picnics & Planning.

I started this business back in 2021 because I genuinely love creating beautiful, meaningful moments. I’ve always been someone who pays attention to the little things — whether it’s making a table feel special or helping someone’s vision come together with ease.

​

I’m originally from Mississippi and now split my time between Jackson, MS and Nashville, TN. I have a master’s degree in accounting and work as a healthcare auditor, so I bring that same level of organization, structure, and focus to every event I plan. It’s not just about making things “look pretty” — it’s about making sure every detail is thought through, every dollar is well spent, and the process feels stress-free for you.

​

Over the years, Pretty Picnics & Planning has grown from simple backyard picnics to full weddings, corporate events, and curated experiences across both cities. I plan with intention, lean into God for guidance, and pour my heart into every celebration — big or small.

​

What clients love most about working with me is that I’m calm, clear, and dependable. I don’t just show up with a plan — I show up with peace. I understand how overwhelming planning can be, and I do my best to make sure you feel seen, heard, and supported through the entire process.

​

Outside of work and planning, I’m a fur mom, a woman of faith, and a lover of good food, memories and quality time. I’m so grateful for every client who trusts me to be a part of their story — and I’d be honored to be part of yours, too.
