Our Process

A Planning Experience Built on Trust, Creativity, and Care

At Juls Sharpley Events, we believe the most meaningful celebrations begin with how they’re planned. Long before the design takes shape or guests arrive, the experience should feel personal, supportive, and grounded in trust.

Working with us should feel like planning with a best friend—someone who listens closely, advocates for you, and brings clarity and confidence to every decision. We believe planning should be enjoyable, transparent, and steady, even when the scope is complex or the stakes are high.

Our role is not to create our dream event. It’s to bring yours to life.

That means listening deeply, asking the right questions, and translating your vision into something cohesive, elevated, and unmistakably you by design. Creativity, for us, is not about ego or trends—it’s about service.

Guidance Without Control

We believe guidance should empower, not pressure.

From creative partners to production decisions, we present thoughtful options—not ultimatums. Every recommendation is shaped by your preferences, priorities, and budget, allowing you to make confident, informed decisions throughout the process.

We take the time to do the work upfront—interviewing, researching, and conducting full due diligence—so nothing is overlooked and comparisons are clear. This approach creates trust, ease, and a planning experience that feels considered rather than overwhelming.

Calm Leadership, Even When Things Get Hard

Challenges are inevitable. Panic is not.

With over a decade of experience and deep local relationships in Aspen and beyond, we are exceptionally skilled at navigating complexity. We plan for contingencies, anticipate variables, and solve problems quietly and efficiently.

Our clients deserve peace of mind. Most of the time, they’ll never know a challenge arose—only that everything unfolded seamlessly.

Who We Work Best With

We do our best work with clients who trust us, value quality, and understand that thoughtful investment allows creativity to flourish.

Our clients appreciate experience, expertise, and the insight that comes from being locally based in Aspen with long-standing industry relationships. When expectations and resources are aligned, the planning process becomes smoother, more joyful, and far more rewarding for everyone involved.

Respect for Your Investment

We believe money should be handled with care and intention.

Our clients should feel confident that their investment was respected, their priorities honored, and their resources translated into a premier experience—from start to finish.

Creativity That Feels Personal

We don’t do cookie-cutter celebrations.

Our creative process is collaborative and intuitive. Ideas are generated freely, refined thoughtfully, and shaped together until the right vision emerges. The result is never about shock value or trends—it’s about authenticity.

A successful event feels unmistakably personal. Guests should leave saying, “That was so them.”

Juls Sharpley Events was one of the best investments we made for our wedding! I couldn’t have asked for a better planner who truly goes above and beyond for her clients. We not only felt relaxed and confident in her, but even our friends and family noticed how hard she worked to make things run smoothly on our big day. She has excellent taste, great vendor recommendations, runs a strict timeline, and is genuinely just the nicest person you could meet. Thank you, Juls for being part of our wedding!– Shannon & Robert
