Luxury Wedding Planning

New York and Beyond

At RenayMeshell Events, we believe your wedding should feel elegant, effortless, and completely true to who you are. We’re based in New York, and love creating beautiful celebrations right here at home. We also work with couples who dream of destination weddings, bringing the same thoughtful planning and flawless execution wherever your story takes you.



The RenayMeshell Experience

Your Time Freed.
Your Vision Captured.

We designed our signature planning framework,
Engage → Design → Reveal, to make the process simple and enjoyable.

Engage

Before I suggest a vendor, a venue, or implement the timeline, I ask: what must this day say? Your answer is the foundation of everything that follows.

Design

Together we shape your vision into a detailed plan with trusted vendors and elevated design elements.

Reveal

On your wedding day, your dream comes to life. You’re calm, present, and able to fully enjoy the moment while we manage everything behind the scenes.

Meet Michelle R. Mays

founder of renaymeshell events


I carried this calling for years before I accepted it and let it surface. I built a career at the executive level — operating in rooms where the margin for error was zero, where nothing could be overlooked, and where discretion was not a feature but a requirement.

What I know now is that the career and the calling were building the same thing: the standard I bring to every event I manage.

What started as a career soon became a calling.

I’m passionate about helping couples create weddings that feel like them; Elegant. Joyful. Personal.

When you work with me, you can expect someone who truly listens, pays attention to the details that matter most to you, and communicates clearly so you never feel left in the dark.

I see what can go wrong before you ask. The same insight and thinking that developed over years of operating in spaces with low-to-zero-margin-for-error. Nothing is overlooked. This is the standard.

Rooted in New York

Serving the world

We love planning weddings for couples in New York and surrounding areas, but our reach is much wider. If your dream is a destination wedding, we’re ready to travel and make it happen.

With us, you get the best of both worlds: a local planner who knows the community and a team experienced in creating unforgettable events wherever love takes you.


Our Promise

Our couples often come to us feeling scattered, juggling careers, family, and a long list of wedding tasks. We help them feel supported, cared for, and free to focus on what really matters.

When you retain me, you are getting someone who carries the meaning of your event through every decision, with meticulous care and attention. I hold everything that matters, and nothing is left to chance.

We know the details matter. From the guest experience to the food and wine, the entertainment, the photography, and the flow of the day, we make sure nothing is overlooked.
