Our Philosophy.
We’re Leah Regan & Cassandra Catic — the founders of Ever After Effect.
Between us, hospitality and storytelling run deep. Leah’s world has always been about experience – how a room feels, how guests are welcomed, how a celebration unfolds naturally and generously. Cass’ foundation began behind the camera – instinctively noticing light, emotion and the fleeting in-between moments that truly tell a story.
Years of dedication, passion and loyalty to an industry that has become part of who we are made it only natural that we would eventually find one another. We guide our clients to curate a day that is grounded in who you are and how you want it to feel.
Our wedding offers are simply a starting point. A glimpse into what’s possible within our venues, partner properties and beyond. The real magic happens when we begin creating something uniquely yours.
We are Ever After Effect – caterers, creatives and curators of moments that linger long after the night ends.

Cassandra Catic
Co-Founder, Ever After Effect
Blossom Ever After
Cass has been capturing weddings for over 12 years—long enough to know when to step in, when to step back, and when the real magic happens. Her work’s been seen in places like Vogue Australia.
Ever After Effect was creatively birthed through Cass’ storytelling lens, but it has evolved into something far greater — a shared vision brought to life together. She leads our creative direction with an easy, honest approach. Nothing forced. Nothing overworked. Just real moments, thoughtfully shaped.
Rooted in her Greek heritage, Cass brings a warm, artful perspective — where family, food, emotion and atmosphere intertwine. She may have started with a camera in hand, but today she is so much more — co-founder, guiding our clients through the booking process, and the heart that anchors our storytelling.
