WHO WE ARE
Affinity Events began over seven years ago with just two best friends — Caitlin and Alex — sharing a big vision and even bigger dreams. What started as a passion project has grown into a dedicated team that’s all about making your wedding day absolutely amazing.
We’re proud of the incredible group we’ve built — a mix of personalities, styles, and talents that come together to create something truly special. Whether you’re looking for someone bubbly and energetic, calm and detail-focused, or anything in between, we have coordinators who can perfectly match your vibe.
At the heart of it all, we’re more than a company — we’re a team that genuinely cares about your story and your celebration. Together, we’re committed to being the best, so your day is everything you’ve dreamed of and more.

CAITLIN
OWNER/LEAD COORDINATOR
Hello, I'm Caitlin. I'm the proud mother of two beautiful children and the loving wife of an amazing man. Throughout my life, I've always been drawn to creative endeavors, whether it's sewing, cake decorating, or a variety of other artistic pursuits. It was during the process of planning my own wedding that I truly discovered my love for bringing together various elements. What makes me the happiest are the intricate details that often escape the notice of brides-to-be. My passion lies in the desire to help couples transform their special day into an extraordinary and unforgettable experience, ensuring it not only meets but exceeds their every expectation.

ALEX
OWNER/LEAD COORDINATOR
I’m a mom, a girlfriend, and a longtime lover of all things weddings. I bring an analytical eye to the team—I thrive on organization, timelines, and all the little behind-the-scenes details. I also love bringing joy to people, which makes this job the perfect fit. What started as a passion has grown into something I feel so lucky to do every day!

KARMEN
LEAD COORDINATOR
Hi, I am Karmen. A passionate individual who enjoys connecting with people. I enjoy creating meaningful moments and wonderful experiences for others. My love for organizing and planning my own wedding is what sparked my interest in getting involved with event coordination. This love has now transpired into doing the same for others. My goal is to ensure that every couple experiences the magical moment where their vision comes together. I am super excited to be on this beautiful journey with you!

HAYDEN
LEAD COORDINATOR
Hi, I am Hayden. After 7 years in hospitality, a few intense years of soul searching, and several deep jungle retreats where I may or may not have gotten acupuncture — a questionable but charming monk, I’ve finally found my calling in the wedding industry. Whether it’s a Bridgeton-style, incredibly elegant affair where even the candles have a job title, or a high-energy celebration where the dance floor could put Coachella to shame, I’m your guy. My mission: To make sure your day goes as smoothly as planned. I’ll handle the logistics, keep the chaos at bay, and make sure the only thing you’re stressed about is whether or not you should go for that second slice of cake. No stress, no drama, let’s just make it unforgettable, like a baby giraffe learning how to dance.

MEGAN
LEAD COORDINATOR
Hi! My name is Megan and I am a business major at GVSU! I fell in love with event planning at a small coffee shop in my hometown of Midland, MI. I led them there and had the most fun meeting new people, and trying new things. Seeing an event come together after months of planning was so rewarding not just for me, but for the guests! Weddings are such a special day for the Bride and Groom -- the precious moment that comes with every little detail will be remembered for the rest of their lives. That brings me sooo much joy. I cannot wait to see the wedding of your dreams become a reality!

NATALIE
LEAD COORDINATOR
Hey there! I’m Natalie—an internationally adopted, Wisconsin-raised, Michigan-living, cat-loving fiancée. I hold degrees in both Communications and Dance, and naturally have a deep love for all things creative! During my final semester of college, I went to study abroad in Lithuania. Random you say? Not quite. I took that opportunity to travel all around Europe, return to my birth-country, and surprisingly find my wedding dress while on a weekend trip to Barcelona! While at a marketing and event-planning internship I took during college, I came to realize I LOVE event planning! Naturally organized and detail-oriented, I find true joy in planning and executing wonderfully memorable events for amazing people! As I plan my own wedding, I have a firsthand understanding of the many decisions, details, and emotions involved in the journey to the “big day.” My goal is to guide and support brides-to-be in all the ways possible, and can’t wait to celebrate alongside you!

BRIDGET
ASSISTANT COORDINATOR
Hi, I’m Bridget! I am a senior in high school with a passion for creating, planning, and organizing. I love the rewarding feeling I get when I see something that I have organized turn into a wonderful memory for everyone involved. My love for planning began when I was twelve years old and my dad let me plan our family vacation to North Carolina. I continued planning trips, and in my sophomore year I realized that I wanted to get serious with event planning - specifically with weddings. I love all of the details and creativity that go into weddings, and I’m so excited to be able to make others’ dreams for their day truly come alive! I’m so grateful for the support I have received from the Affinity team, and I am so excited to now be a part of it. We’re here to make your dreams a reality and transform this special day into one of unforgettable memories!

SOPHIE
ASSISTANT COORDINATOR
Hi, I’m Sophie Pratt! I recently married my high school sweetheart in October 2025, and life has been a whirlwind in the best way, from becoming a newlywed, to raising our sweet rescue pup Rosie, to purchasing our first home together. In my free time, I’m happiest outdoors hiking, camping, gardening, or just enjoying a slow day. I’ve loved planning events for as long as I can remember and joined Affinity just out of college. After taking a brief break to plan my own destination wedding, I found myself missing the joy of supporting brides through such a meaningful season. Now, having experienced wedding planning firsthand, I’m back with a whole new appreciation and can’t wait to help other brides feel confident, excited, and supported every step of the way.
