About us:
Founded in 2000 on a part-time basis, when we were asked to help with the planning of a Wedding…we LOVED it so much that we decided to start a small event planning studio. We are a full-time boutique EVENT PLANNING and DESIGN studio and our approach to Event Planning isn’t cookie cutter by any means.
Meticulous detail and organization is incorporated into what we do, as clients would expect, but a strong focus on building relationships and thinking outside the box are also hallmarks of our company.
WE ARE NOT a florist, stationary studio, a venue location, hotel, caterer, DJ or limo driver, etc… BUT, we have exceptional relationships with many of the vendors we just mentioned. We as a company save our client’s money, time and frustration while providing impeccable customer service!
Our main home studio is located in Waltham, Massachusetts. However, we plan events all over New England and thought out the United States – in the past it has included Canada and London.
