The Story of Lilière

Some moments deserve more than an occasion. They deserve intention.

Lilière was founded on the belief that the most memorable gatherings are not the loudest, but the most thoughtfully composed, where every detail is chosen with purpose, and beauty speaks quietly.

Based in Sterling and serving Northern Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, D.C., Lilière offers a seamless, full-service experience for celebrations of every kind. From planning and event design to hand-crafted florals, artfully curated catering, sculptural grazing tables, refined desserts, and flawless event coordination, every element is thoughtfully considered and beautifully executed.

We create celebrations that feel deeply personal while maintaining a timeless sense of elegance. Our work embraces a wide range of cultures, traditions, and milestones, honoring the stories that matter most to our clients, from intimate gatherings and sophisticated soirées to weddings, corporate events, memorials, and cherished cultural ceremonies such as the Persian Sofreh Aghd.

Because true luxury isn't defined by excess. It's found in thoughtful details, effortless hospitality, and moments your guests will remember long after the celebration ends.

The People Behind Lilière

Lilière is a family endeavor, founded and led by Arghavan and Mehrdad, partners in life and in this work.

Arghavan brings a background in business and finance, holding an MBA in Finance and the CFP® designation. Her years of guiding clients through complex planning have shaped a thoughtful, meticulous approach to every event, where careful organization, clear communication, and attention to detail are as important as beautiful design. Mehrdad, an engineer, brings precision, composure, and a problem-solver's mindset to the logistics behind each celebration, ensuring every element comes together seamlessly.

Together, we blend thoughtful planning with timeless design, believing that true hospitality lies in making every guest feel welcomed and every client feel completely at ease.

Beyond events, we are devoted to humanitarian and human rights work, with a steadfast commitment to the dignity, empowerment, and advancement of human rights. These values—grace, compassion, and service, guide not only how we celebrate life's most meaningful moments, but how we strive to make a positive difference beyond them.

Celebrations. Milestones. Farewells.

Whatever the occasion, we would be honored to make it beautiful.
