Kathlynn Donald did not come from the events industry. She came from a career rooted in social work, wellness, and human connection. And it turns out that background was the perfect foundation for what she does today.
Elevate Designs & Events is a Spotsylvania-based event design and decor company that Kathlynn founded in 2023 after a major season of personal transition led her back to what she loved most: creating experiences that make people feel special.
"After walking through a major season of transition, I took time to reflect on what I truly loved most and realized it had always been creating experiences that make people feel special," she says. "That is what led me to build Elevate Designs & Events."
Today, Kathlynn brings that heart to every single event she touches. Her services include custom event decor and design, floral rentals, custom backdrops, day-of coordination, photo booth rentals, and two signature experiences that have become fan favorites: the flower bar and the fragrance bar. Both offer guests a hands-on, interactive element that makes any celebration feel more personal and memorable.
Elevate Designs & Events serves a wide range of celebrations including weddings, milestone birthdays, baby showers, bridal showers, corporate events, and community gatherings. No matter the occasion, Kathlynn's approach is the same: take care of every detail so her clients can actually be present and enjoy the experience.
What makes her stand out is not just the aesthetic, it is the intention behind it. Every backdrop, every floral arrangement, every thoughtfully styled detail is designed to make guests feel something. Valued. Celebrated. Remembered.
That philosophy extends into the community as well. Kathlynn regularly partners with local businesses, supports Chamber events, and donates her creativity to nonprofit events, ribbon cuttings, and women's gatherings across the Fredericksburg area.
Whether you are planning an intimate gathering or a large-scale celebration, Elevate Designs & Events brings beauty, creativity, and a whole lot of heart to the table.
