Founder & Creative Director, Caitlin Akan
With over a decade of experience in luxury event planning, floral design and hospitality, I bring a full-circle approach to creating events that feel beautiful, intentional and unforgettable.
As a luxury event planner based in Dallas, I specialise in seamless, high-touch celebrations for clients who value creativity, elegance and meaning.
My background spans floral design, event venues, rentals, catering management with Wolfgang Puck at the Nasher Sculpture Center, nonprofit event direction and co-founding Chef Akan Experiences. This breadth of experience gives me a deep understanding of event flow, guest experience and refined aesthetics, ensuring every detail feels considered.
Rooted in Experience, Inspired by Travel
Having lived years aboard in Germany and Japan and traveled extensively since childhood, I bring a global perspective to every event. From Turkish coastlines to the charm of European Christmas markets, my design aesthetic is influenced by culture, connection, and the beauty of intentional gatherings.
Let’s Create Something Beautiful
Whether you're looking for luxury event planning in Dallas, custom floral design, or consulting support to elevate your next event, I’d be honored to bring your vision to life.
CURATE was born out of a desire to offer full-service event planning and floral design in Dallas for unique weddings, milestone birthdays, elevated dinner parties, nonprofit galas, and creative brand experiences.
What we bring to your event
