OVERHEARD:
“Literally a dream team and a powerhouse planner. Vieira Events is a force. Our vision for our wedding weekend was a bit unconventional... Vieira Events listened and executed flawlessly. They put their heart and soul into the planning process and the weekend itself.”
— SARA & PETE, THE HAPPY COUPLE
Behind the Brand
Whether a chic art gallery wedding in DC or a tented celebration on the Eastern Shore, Julie is the calm, creative force behind every unforgettable event.
Raised in the DC area and a Cornell graduate, she brings over 15 years of experience in wedding planning, event production, and design. With an artist and color theorist for a mother, her eye for color and composition developed early—shaping her signature blend of timeless elegance and contemporary, art-driven style. Fueled by a love of food, design, and storytelling, Julie creates celebrations that are layered, intentional, and deeply personal.
Known for her calm confidence, meticulous detail, and creative precision, Julie transforms vision into seamless, luxury celebrations across Washington, DC and the East Coast.
When not designing weddings, she’s likely hiking Shenandoah trails, cooking with a glass of GSM, or restoring her mid-century modern home with her husband and daughter.
