With over 40 years combined in the event industry, Coastal Events and Design has a lot to offer any event you can dream up! Layla has been a photographer for 20+ years for weddings, schools, individual portraits, Mardi Gras, conferences and many more events and is now a Published Photographer with Access Magazine here on the Gulf Coast. Layla also designs wedding, graduation and event announcements and invitations as well as actual Event Design.

Jim has been in the Audio/Visual business for well over 30 years and has run sound and lighting for some big names all over the country. He has worked in Video Production, Sound engineering and lighting design for many years and his DJ skills and the ability to keep the crowd on their feet is amazing. We decided to jump into Coastal Events and Design with both feet and so far, we love where it has taken us. We love our clients and want to make sure we put our personal touch in everything we do.
