Why we like them

Seven events deep with this crew. When their timeline hits my inbox, I know the night is handled. Eclipse is a whole team of planners, and I've run weddings with four of them.

What you get with Eclipse

A lead planner on every event

Each wedding gets a lead planner plus at least one assistant or intern.

Two events a month, tops

Each planner caps their calendar so your day gets real attention.

Planning Austin weddings since 2015

Co-owners Kristi Depew and Lauren Chumbley started the company in April 2015.

Ask for them by name

“Which Eclipse planner should we ask for?”

Four planners we've shared a wedding day with and would happily do it again.

Amy Bay, senior planner at Eclipse Event Co.
Senior Planner

Amy Bay

Amy grew up in Harker Heights, Texas, and credits her grandmother for her love of events and Southern hospitality. She studied Family and Consumer Science at Sam Houston State, worked in catering, rentals and floral, then joined Eclipse as an intern in 2018 and worked her way up to Senior Planner. She's a Certified Wedding and Event Planner with an eye for the little details and a knack for taking stress off a couple. Off the clock, she's in her craft room making handmade cards.

We've worked Villa Antonia together, and Bentwood is next.

Stella Stone

Stella was born and raised in Pflugerville, Texas. A lifelong love of fashion and furniture design means color, texture and shape are her thing. Family and friends come first for her, and she cares about real connection with the people she works with.

Stella ran our wedding at Horseshoe Bay Resort.

Senior Planner

Haley Richter

Haley grew up outside Houston and earned both her bachelor's and master's degrees at Texas A&M. She taught high school before joining Eclipse in 2022. Her specialty is calm: she takes care of the small details so the couple and their families can simply be at the wedding.

Haley ran our wedding at 800 Congress.
