Angela

Angela Bowles | Founder & Lead cOORdinator

Angela is the heart behind XOXO Wedding Co., bringing over two decades of experience in the wedding and events industry. Since beginning her career in 2003, she quickly discovered her passion for creating meaningful celebrations and helping people feel cared for in life’s most important moments.

A natural connector, Angela thrives on bringing people together—whether professionally or in her everyday life (and yes, she’s usually the one showing up with her famous cucumber sandwiches). Her diverse background across venues, sales, and event operations has shaped a coordination style that is both thoughtful and strategic. She is known for navigating high-pressure moments with grace, while ensuring every detail and logistical flow is seamlessly executed.

Clients are drawn to Angela’s honesty, warmth, and genuine care. Many relationships don’t end at “I do”—they turn into lasting friendships. For Angela, there is nothing more fulfilling than seeing a vision come to life and knowing she played a part in creating a joyful, stress-free experience.

When she’s not coordinating weddings, you’ll find her chasing her granddaughter, Linden, around; exploring local wineries and breweries with her friends, planning her next beach trip, or relaxing at home with her husband—wine in hand and a Netflix series queued up.​

Ayla

Ayla airhart | Assistant Coordinator

Ayla has been part of the wedding and event industry for over six years, though her journey began long before that—assisting her mom with weddings back in high school. What started as lending a helping hand quickly grew into a true passion for creating meaningful, memorable celebrations.

She loves connecting with couples and being part of such an important day, helping bring each unique vision to life with care and attention to detail. Ayla brings a calm, positive energy to every event and truly enjoys making the day feel seamless for everyone involved.

Outside of weddings, you can find her at home with her husband, daughter, and their two pups. They love taking on home projects together or heading out to car and truck shows with friends and family—usually with a Red Bull in hand and her next idea already in the works!

Rebecca

Rebecca anderson | Assistant Coordinator

Rebecca's journey into the vibrant world of event and wedding planning began organically in 2010. What started with the meticulous planning of her own wedding quickly blossomed into a true passion, revealing a deep love for creating meaningful, personalized celebrations. That experience became the catalyst for her career in the wedding industry—and she hasn’t looked back since.

Over the years, she has had the honor of working with countless clients, transforming their unique visions into stunning realities. While weddings hold a special place in her heart, her expertise extends far beyond—curating everything from themed birthday parties and elegant baby showers to intimate proposals and full-scale celebrations. No matter the size or scope, each event is approached with creativity, care, and a strong attention to detail.

At the core of her work is a genuine commitment to bringing each client’s vision to life. She finds so much joy in creating these meaningful moments—whether it’s the excitement in a couple’s eyes or the happiness of a family celebrating something special. That passion for making dreams a reality is what continues to inspire her every day.

Today, she is proud to be part of the XOXO Wedding Co. team, where she brings her experience, creativity, and heart to every event—helping create seamless, unforgettable celebrations for each and every client.
