Hey there! Welcome to Events by Harvey

Hi, I’m Maya — wife, fur baby mama, and Lead Planner at Events by Harvey. Before moving to Memphis, I grew up in Rochester, Minnesota. You will probably be able to hear my Midwestern accent after a few conversations — haha! At 17, I joined the Navy Reserves as a Yeoman — an experience that taught me discipline, organization, and the value of teamwork. At 20, I moved to Memphis for a handsome guy… and luckily, I ended up marrying him.

Alongside my love and devotion for event planning, I am also on the board for Hands for Humanity, a nonprofit close to my heart. Event planning has my heart and is the thing that makes me smile even in the chaos. Outside of planning events, you can usually find me in my favorite spot in the house — the kitchen — or enjoying that magical in-between season where summer slowly turns into fall. I own way too many black clothes, wedding food reminds me of Thanksgiving (and I love it), and my all-time favorite movie is Mamma Mia — partly because it’s my mom’s favorite, too.

Event planning combines everything I love most: creativity, organization, and celebrating love and joy. My goal is to make your day feel effortless, personal, and unforgettable — so you can simply show up and soak in every moment.
