Meet the team guiding your celebration from start to finish.

Ellen Westcott

I'm the founder of Westcott Weddings, and I built this company because I believe a wedding day should feel like you from beginning to end — personal, intentional, and meaningful. Above all, I believe in marriage, and it's been an honor to spend over a decade helping couples prepare for their big day and for life together.

Prior to launching Westcott Weddings in 2013, I spent six years in the agency world, consulting with clients like Estée Lauder, GE, and Whole Foods — experience that shaped how I think about creative direction and building a team our couples can trust.

These days, I focus on the vision and standards behind every Westcott Wedding, while our planning team leads the day-to-day work with our couples.

Nicolet LaVeau

I was born and raised in Austin, Texas, and still love to call it home. After college in Waco and a corporate career in Houston, I made my way back to my hometown in 2017 when I decided to dive into wedding planning.

Wedding planning combines my love of creativity and structure. I love designing weddings tailored to each couple's personality and styles, and I have a soft spot for beautiful floral design and stationery.

During the wedding planning process, I'll help you with everything from minute-by-minute details to the overall guest experience. While there are a lot of decisions to make, if you choose what feels right to you, you can't go wrong. My goal is for you to be able to enjoy your wedding day, while trusting me to handle everything behind the scenes.

Sydney Neal

I am North Carolina born and bred (Go Heels!), but have called Austin home for the last eight years. I have a background in project management and have loved fine-tuning those skills with wedding planning. I've planned and executed over a hundred events across the country and treat each wedding as if it were my own.

Your wedding marks the start of a new and exciting future. My goal is to help you creatively tell your story and thoughtfully plan a day to celebrate your marriage surrounded by family and friends. I will walk with you step-by-step through the planning process and help you dream, make decisions, and plan the best party of your life.

As a wedding planner, I prioritize care, thoughtfulness, and attention to detail, ensuring that your wedding represents you as a couple and what you love.
