Michelle Lew

ceo and planner

I’m a San Jose native with a deep love for creativity, new ideas, and the natural world around us. I start my mornings with yoga (I’m currently working on Yoga Teacher Training!) and RYZE mushroom coffee, and I always make time for my dogs—whether it’s long walks, fostering rescues, or just soaking up their goofy energy.

I have a Bachelor’s in Psychology with a focus in Business and earned my MBA from Santa Clara University. I’m also certified as a naturopathic wellness coach, as a real estate salesperson, and in First-Aid/CPR because I believe in being prepared for anything. Sustainability, waste reduction, and the pursuit of authenticity are at the core of everything I do, both in my work and in life.

Between weddings, you’ll find me exploring new creative projects, caring for my (ever-growing) houseplant collection, or (probably) at yoga.

Planning a wedding is no joke — I learned that firsthand when I planned my own! That experience taught me a lot, and now I get to use it to help other couples navigate the process with less stress and more joy. My goal is to make sure you feel supported and excited every step of the way — because your wedding should feel like you, not a checklist.

When I'm not coordinating dream weddings, you can usually find me at my bakery, whipping up sweet treats and testing new recipes. I’m a total foodie at heart, so I love exploring new restaurants and discovering hidden gems around the bay. When I’m not immersed in all things food and weddings, I’m spending quality time with my husband and my favorite people — because at the end of the day, it’s all about celebrating love and connection.

With a background in hospitality and years of experience in event logistics, I bring passion, precision, and creativity to every wedding I coordinate. I truly love what I do—ensuring my clients' dreams come to life while delivering perfection in every detail. My style is chic, feminine, and fun, making each celebration as unique as the couple at the heart of it.

Beyond weddings, I’m always exploring—whether through traveling, getting lost in a good book, or spending time with my pets. As I pursue my Master's in Hospitality, I continue to refine my craft, always striving to exceed expectations. Let’s make your wedding day flawless, joyful, and unforgettable!

I joined Lavender Crown Events as a Professional Dog Handler to include your beloved fur babies on your special day! I’m currently studying at CSU East Bay for my Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice. I am a huge animal lover and work in dog grooming. When I’m not working or studying, I’m going on hikes and traveling with my dog, relaxing with my reptiles, or at the gym. "

We don’t know how we would’ve pulled off our wedding without Michelle and her incredible team at Lavender Crown. My now wife and I live in New York City, and Michelle helped us plan our wedding in California (where I'm from), a challenge she handled with absolute ease.

From day one, she wasn’t just our planner; she became a friend and a steady source of support through every step of this crazy process. No matter how many decisions we had to make or last-minute ideas we threw at her, Michelle handled everything with patience, professionalism, and a genuine passion that made us feel comfortable

A few standout moments that meant the world to us:
- Michelle was incredibly accommodating of our situation—meeting with us virtually while we were in New York and scheduling in-person meetings when we were back in California.
- Michelle created a separate timeline for one of our bridesmaids, working with her directly, who needed time to pump and ensured it was seamlessly integrated into our wedding schedule,
- When we had to pivot from our original hair and makeup artist relatively close to the wedding, Michelle handled it with grace and found alternatives that made us feel completely comfortable.
- When the venue coordinator unexpectedly left without a word, Michelle took charge, navigating through the chaos and ensuring everything stayed on track—even with many unresolved items lingering right up until the big day.

On the big day, she kept everything running smoothly, and we never had to worry about a thing. Even when unexpected hiccups popped up (because, let’s be real, they always do), we knew she had our backs.

Of course, no wedding is without its challenges, and we faced a few bumps with our venue and vendors, but Michelle did everything she could to problem-solve and make things right. Her ability to stay calm under pressure and find solutions in the moment made all the difference—we truly can’t imagine having gone through this without her.

If you’re looking for someone who is organized, thoughtful, and just an all-around amazing person to have in your corner, Michelle and Lavender Crown are the way to go. We are beyond grateful for everything she did to make our wedding day special.
