There’s a fresh new energy buzzing through the St. Louis wedding scene — and it’s all thanks to co-owners Kevin and Elle Lashley, the husband-and-wife duo leading Wed Society® St. Louis. With their combined backgrounds in marketing, events, and business management, this dynamic pair is ready to help local wedding professionals thrive and connect like never before.
With a degree in communications and over eight years in marketing and events, Kevin has built his career helping organizations grow and connect through meaningful experiences. He’s led countless conferences, fundraisers, and campaigns across the nonprofit sector—always with an eye for creativity and community impact. “After seeing advertisements about Wed Society’s franchising opportunities and meeting with Ali,” Kevin shares, “I realized quickly that this would be a great opportunity to grow my business into the advertising and publishing space. I loved the idea of using my background to help wedding vendors grow their businesses and to advance the wedding community in St. Louis.” For Kevin, the heart of Wed Society is all about community. “I look forward to creating a trusted, local brand that helps businesses grow and succeed,” he said.
Additionally, Elle brings her own expertise and warmth to the business. She balances family life with an impressive professional background in accounting and advancement. Before becoming a full-time homeschooling mom to their four children, she managed a team of accountants at Washington University in St. Louis. Elle’s knack for organization and detail pairs beautifully with Kevin’s big-picture vision. “Kevin’s passion for Wed Society inspired me to become a co-owner,” Elle said with a smile. “His enthusiasm was contagious, and our Discovery Day visit really sparked my desire to be part of Wed Society.”
Now, as co-owner of Wed Society St. Louis, Elle looks forward to diving into the local wedding community. “I’m excited to connect with the many wedding vendors and brides in the St. Louis market,” she shares. “I can’t wait to see how Wed Society St. Louis influences the wedding industry here.”
Together, Kevin and Elle are setting out to create a trusted, local brand that helps businesses grow and thrive—while also building a strong, supportive network of professionals across the region.
