Carlina Claude of Teardrop Wedding Events Featured in VoyageLA Magazine
II’m excited to share some special news! Teardrop Wedding Events was recently featured in VoyageLA Magazine, a publication dedicated to celebrating local creatives, entrepreneurs, and the stories behind their work.
This feature was more than just an interview. It was a chance to reflect on my journey as a wedding planner, my inspiration for creating elevated, intentional celebrations, and the lessons I’ve learned along the way.
The Story Behind the Feature
VoyageLA reached out after hearing about Teardrop Wedding Events and our work creating stylish, meaningful wedding experiences across Southern California. When I got the invitation, I knew it was an opportunity to share not only my professional story but also the heart and vision behind what I do.
I talked about my path from starting in the wedding industry to building my own business, the challenges of growing as an entrepreneur, and why I believe every wedding should be as personal as it is beautiful.
A Few Highlights From the Interview
Why I started Teardrop Wedding Events: To give couples a planner who truly listens, understands their vision, and makes the entire process feel seamless and enjoyable.
My design philosophy: Creating a balance between timeless elegance and personality-driven details that tell each couple’s story.
What keeps me inspired: The people I work with. Every client, every vendor, and every wedding has its own energy, and that’s what keeps me passionate about what I do.
Behind the Scenes
Preparing for the interview made me revisit moments that shaped my approach, from early weddings where I was learning to adapt on the fly, to styled shoots that pushed me creatively, to the joy of seeing clients walk into their fully transformed venues. It reminded me why I value authenticity, collaboration, and a design process that feels effortless for my couples.
