Silk & Shadows on Spotify

At first glance, Spotify might not seem like the most obvious platform for an event planning and styling business. But for us at Silk & Shadows, music has always been part of how we think about events. Atmosphere is not just visual. It is emotional. And music is one of the fastest ways to shape how a moment feels.

We both share a deep love for music. Not just as background noise, but as something that sets the tone, guides energy, and connects people in a room. Over time, we realized we were constantly building playlists for weddings, dinner parties, birthday celebrations, corporate gatherings, baby showers, and quiet moments in between. Creating a Spotify account felt like a natural extension of the work we already do.

Our Spotify playlists are curated with the same intention we bring to event planning, styling, and design. Each collection is built around a mood, a moment, or an experience. From romantic wedding playlists and cocktail hour soundtracks to lively birthday party mixes and polished corporate event music, these playlists are meant to support the flow of an event, not distract from it.

Music plays a powerful role in weddings in particular. It sets the emotional rhythm of the day, from getting ready in the morning to the ceremony, dinner, and late-night dancing. We often help couples think through how music supports their timeline and guest experience. Having a place to share our curated wedding playlists allows us to give couples inspiration beyond visuals, helping them imagine how their day will sound as well as how it will look.

Beyond weddings, our Spotify account is a space for anyone planning an event or simply wanting good music for everyday moments. You will find playlists suited for birthday parties, baby showers, engagement dinners, corporate events, and intimate gatherings at home. Each playlist is designed to be flexible, something you can press play on and trust.

This is not about trends or algorithms. It is about sharing something personal and useful. A collection of music that reflects our taste, our experience, and the environments we love to create. We see Spotify as another way to connect with our community and offer inspiration outside of traditional event planning tools.

If you are planning an event in Portland or beyond, or if you simply enjoy thoughtfully curated playlists, we would love for you to follow along. Our Spotify account will continue to grow with new collections for different occasions, seasons, and moods.

Give us a follow and let the music set the scene.
