MEET EBONY PEOPLES-WORDLAW

I’m Ebony Peoples-Wordlaw—a celebration expert, entertaining enthusiast, and award-winning event planner who believes every day is worth celebrating.

My journey began with a love for creativity, organization, and bringing people together. After earning my degree in elementary education from Michigan State University, I transformed those same skills from the classroom into the event industry, where my attention to detail, creative vision, and genuine love for people became the foundation of my career.

I am the owner and principal planner of Ebony Peoples Events & Design, an award-winning planning and design boutique founded in Dallas, Texas, in 2011 after beginning my event planning journey in 2009. Known for blending timeless elegance with modern sophistication, I intentionally partner with a limited number of wedding and social celebration clients each year, creating personalized experiences defined by thoughtful design, refined details, and seamless execution. Today, I proudly serve clients in Atlanta and destinations beyond.

Over the years, my work has been featured in Ebony, Munaluchi Bride, and Modern Luxury Weddings. I have also been honored as a 2021 Dynamic Woman and a 2018 Woman of Power and Influence by The Atlantan. These recognitions reflect my commitment to creating meaningful celebrations that are beautifully designed, thoughtfully planned, and unforgettable.

While weddings and milestone celebrations remain an important part of my work, my passion extends beyond events. Through recipes, entertaining ideas, tablescapes, seasonal inspiration, and hosting tips, I inspire others to gather often, celebrate intentionally, and create meaningful moments at home and beyond.

Outside of designing celebrations and sharing my love for entertaining, I enjoy spending time with my husband, Jovan, our son, Sebastian, and our pup, Chance. Whether I’m trying a new recipe for cookbook club, styling a beautiful table, exploring nature, or listening to ’90s R&B, I find inspiration in the simple moments that make life beautiful.
