Is there Anything

Q: How do we learn more about your services and process?

A: Take a good look around our website. It is a labor of love and always up to date. If you take the time, you will see what makes us tick and hopefully smile.

Our packages, reviews and event galleries will give you a very good idea if we seem like a good fit for you. You'll know if you are inspired to click to our Contact page to share your exciting news and say hello. From that point, our first step will be responding to your email to set up a complimentary consultation call so we can learn more about you and your event vision. During this one-hour call, we will share our process, offer sound advice and ask the questions we need to ask in order to write a customized proposal for planning and managing your event.
Q: Will your fees fit within our budget?

A: Our Packages presents a price range within each level of service we offer. We recommend this reference as a starting point.

There are a variety of factors that contribute to the costs of working with us and how we build out a proposal: one day or multi-day event, location, anticipated guest count, vendors required, level of service, indoors or outdoors...to name just a few. Our consultation call with you is an investment of time and attention that we are willing to take with prospective clients so that we fully understand their vision to insure that we can provide and sell you what you need, not more and not less. Every client that has worked with us knows that we deliver above and beyond and we take pride in delivering pleasant surprises at the end of each and every event and relationship.

Q: Do you offer Day-of Coordination?

A: We do not and for a legitimate reason based on our process.


We like lead time! It allows us to get to know our couples and their vendor teams to insure that alignment and communication are clear as we enter month-of. Lead time also allows for a smooth transition as we take responsibility for run-of-show. It greatly minimizes any issues that could jeopardize our clients ability to fully relax on their day. Our services begin with month-of coordination. We feel it's the perfect scenario for couples who want to let go and enjoy the luxury of time to prepare for their big day. Luxury in our minds means having personal time the month leading up to their big day when we have all we need, no questions asked. Their job in these last 30 days is get excited, wrap up work commitments and personal agendas and stroll (not race) to the finish with a calm, assured and happy skip in their stride.

Q: When do you begin Month-of Coordination start-up with clients?

A: With this package, we start at a minimum of 5-months depending on the where the contract falls in our event season.


Our goal, in the interest of our clients, is to fully understand their vision, arrangements, venue, all of their completed vendor contracts, and to gather this long before the build-up weeks leading to their event day. This longer lead-up also allows us to orient ourselves with their vendor team and from that point, develop an extensive and aligned timeline for all parties to follow and agree on.

Q: Are design services included in your packages?

A: Our design services are proposed and billed based on specific projects be it graphic, packaging, interiors space planning, styling and decor.


​Yet within each of our planning packages, design considerations and recommendations are in the forefront of our process. With a vast knowledge of design, after years of experience working in a this capacity, there is always an eye on details and a generous collaboration with vendors to elevate the aesthetic in all disciplines. We feel it's our point of difference as planners and also our responsibility in communication with our clients and the vendor teams. We welcome opportunities to work on specifically tailored and focused creative development projects that go beyond the scope of our packages. This is a conversation that begins by first exploring our clients vision. From that point, we offer a proposal/contract and begin our processes with recommendations, resourcing, design development, execution, fabrication/printing and completion through delivery. We also welcome working specifically on the design aspects of events, if our clients are working DIY or with a planner that is exclusively managing logistics for their event.

Q: Do work with the same vendor teams for each event?

A: We do not


Of course, we love vendors that have delivered successful services for our events and that we know we can count on. We take great pride in our existing vendor relationships yet we are always excited to foster new ones. We look at each new client and event as a blank slate. When we build a vendor team or make recommendations to clients for hires, we always take into consideration what is most important to "the client" (not us) and equally what is warranted based on the end goal. Budget as well as our clients priorities will determine who we look to to make introductions. We explore possibilities for our clients best outcome and interests. From this place, we are always inspired by new combinations of talent and building a winning team. No two events are alike nor should they be.

Q: Where are you located, I can't find an address for Your Event?

A: We work and live in the Hudson Valley, in a tranquil field planted with timothy and alfalfa, surround by rolling hills, cows and a ton of wildlife.


At this private property, we see clients by-appointment-only. Our studio sits high with 360 views of the landscape and skies. I'm up before the sun, so the window over my monitor presents spectacular sunrises for morning mindfulness. One of our resident bald eagles enjoys an occasional fly-by past this same window. The only traffic patterns really are the birds that swoop and circle as they hunt and forage or the farm equipment in the growing and harvest seasons. I'm truly blessed with a perfect perch. This area has become a mecca of jewels for the event industry from secluded venues to incredibly talented culinary chefs and about every imaginable talent one would need to create an amazing party.

Q: Do you run multiple events on a day?

A: We have and with success.


At times we have been approached by clients who want to book us even when we are committed to another booking on their day. With full transparency, we explain that as the lead, I am booked for the day-before and day-of so they will not have "me" with them for run-of-show. And that we have the ability to utilize one of our senior planner to step in for their run-of-show in place of me. If a client is comfortable with this arrangement, the contract is written accordingly. The transitional process of my working exclusively with them starts 30-days out from their event date. This allows our clients and our senior planner to meet, transition with knowledge, supported by me and a comfort level so that everyone is aligned and there are no compromises.

Q: As owner of Your Event, do you work directly with all of your clients?

A: Yes, of course, I wouldn't have it any other way.


I have an incredible and talented team, which I am very grateful for. Yet, I take great pride in being the point person for each and every client be it one-on-one planning meetings, vendor and site meetings, calls or emails. It's imperative that I fully understand each and every client's vision and that comes from the ongoing communication and dialog through months of planning. Not only does this allow me the "knowing" of them but it insures that the decisions I often need to make with their best interests in mind, can be made with confidence. Most importantly, my connection with our clients builds the trust that is required to see their event to a successful end without their undo worry or second guessing. My assistants may email clients directly with reminders or followup, but I am directing that process with eyes on. At the end of the event day, my only sorrow is that my clients will soon be on their way and our day-to-day connections will end. The upswing is when the photo galleries appear, and I too can hold onto a lasting memory of them and the best moments of their day.

If any or all of what you've learned about us sparks interests and excitement about the possibilities of working together, we'd really like to hear from you.
