curating your special memories
event planning + design in marin county, california
Life’s too short to skip the party. Your milestones are worth celebrating! But if you’ve ever tried to plan and execute an exceptional fête, you know that party planning isn’t all fun and games.
Which vendors do I choose?
Where do I save and where should I splurge on budget?
How do I come up with an attractive look when design just isn’t my thing?
Why do I have to follow some old tradition I don’t believe in?
You’re going to need some help from real professionals — experts who have decades of experience working in Marin County’s wedding and event industry, who have an unparalleled attention to detail and sense of style, and who value making your experience easy above all else. Pros like 38north Design Co.

Stacey Dillon (she/her)
Hi! I'm an award-winning wedding planner with 18+ years of experience who hates the same-old-same-old event design just as much as you do.
Call me crazy, but I believe events should be joyous, not stressful, and show off your unique style, tradition be damned.
It doesn’t matter what you look like or who you love — all types of party animals are welcomed here!
“You could tell immediately that 38north has been working in the industry for many years — everything they curated was amazing and the perfect match to exactly what we were looking for! From the venue, to the invitations, how to structure the celebration, and even the slide show...
38north Design Co. executed everything to pure perfection! Our family is forever grateful for the beautiful memories!”

Micro Wedding Macro Memories
We're honored to have our wedding design for Kaitlin + Collins 2021 featured in Marin Magazine's January 2022 issue. We're quoted several times which is super fun! "With fewer wedding guests, couples can also choose to splurge on the things that really matter to them, like a five-course meal with a private chef or a mid-week “wedcation” experience. “You get more ‘wow’ for less wallet with a small wedding,” Dillon says.
