Your Experts in Travel, Event, and Destination Wedding Coordination


Bend Oregon’s Premier Travel Planners, Wedding and Event Management Team

"Highland Events made our dream destination wedding a reality, seamlessly weaving elegance and adventure into the most unforgettable day of our lives."

At Highland Events, we turn your dreams into effortless journeys filled with perfection, joy, and unforgettable moments, so you can focus on what truly matters—love and celebration.

Founded by (me) Amy Lovlien in Bend, Oregon, my team embodies the art of meticulous planning and an insatiable hunger for adventure, curating once-in-a-lifetime experiences that leave hearts brimming with joy.

From family vacations and cruises to destination wedding planning and even event management sprinkled in, we are here for you at every major point in your lives to help create, plan, and support you on those adventures you've always dreamed about.

Why We Should Plan Your Next Destination Event, Together

Consider me your travel best friend when we work together. I want the best adventures possible for you and will give you that concierge-level of planning support. Whether you are engaged and looking to get your closest friends and family to your dream tropical destination wedding spot or are looking to plan some luxury travel (think cruises, world travel, and beyond), I’m your go-to gal.

Some of my travel planning specialties include:

  • Multigenerational Trips

  • Romantic Vacations

  • Family Vacations

  • Disney

  • Cruise travel

  • Luxury Travel

  • Group + Corporate Travel

  • Wellness Retreats 

  • Girls Trips

  • Bachelor & Bachelorette Parties 

  • World Travel

  • Custom Itineraries in any destination

Plus, I’m here to figure out the best options for you from destination wedding packages, the best travel excursions for your interests and personality, wedding travel logistics, and planning, all the way to corporate retreat locations and how to get your entire family to your family vacation spot with ease.

So you can see why people work with me and end up continuing our working relationship through so many firsts: your bachelor and bachelorette travel to the wedding, and then planning your family vacations, and even that corporate travel retreat your company put you in charge of. Once we’ve connected, I know how we work together, what you enjoy, and how to incorporate that into planning (even when you have multiple other individuals with their likes and dislikes involved!)

How Are Travel, Wedding, and Event Planning Connected?

When it comes to travel planning, wedding coordination, and event management, it’s all about THE DETAILS.

Imagine this: one hiccup in your travel itinerary, a missed cue from a wedding vendor, or a miscommunication at your event venue, and suddenly, everything feels like it’s falling apart.

That’s where Highland Events steps in. Our mission is clear: we’re not just about logistics; we’re passionate about people and creating unforgettable experiences for you and your loved ones.

We dive deep into your vision, ensuring every detail aligns perfectly with your dreams. Want to scuba dive in Bermuda on day three of your family trip? Consider it done! Dreaming of red roses gracing each table at your destination wedding in Grenada? We’ve got it covered! Need top-notch vegan options from a local vendor for your event? We're on it!

Highland Events connects travel, weddings, and events not just through services, but by making your special moments truly magical. Let us turn your dreams into reality in beautiful Oregon and beyond!

If any of these hit home, let’s team up and transform your marketing game! Together, we’ll free up your time, save you some cash, and take your experiences to new heights!

Plus, our clients have carried us between services. Our wedding clients then become our travel clients as their family grows and travel becomes a bit more complex and it's wonderful to see them through many life events!
