Bridging Corporate Precision with Social Elegance

In the world of event planning, the nuances between corporate and social events are both pronounced and subtle. Both realms share commonalities—meticulous planning, client collaboration, budget management, and the quest for a memorable and impactful experience. Yet they each possess unique characteristics that demand a tailored approach.

After twelve years of planning global events for a wide variety of other companies, I was ready and excited to start a company of my own. Word of mouth spread quickly, and I found myself with clients and contracts before I even had a name. When it came time to choose one, I landed on the perfect fit: Events To Life.

As a woman who came from a traditional background but has always danced to the beat of my own drum, I recognize the challenges that planning an event bring up. I strongly value tradition; there is much to be said and respected about rituals and processes that mark milestone moments standing the test of time, which is thousands of years in many cases. 

Growing up on beautiful Long Island, I developed an innate appreciation for the power of gathering. This early exposure to the magic of shared experiences laid the foundation for my lifelong passion for events.

Today, it’s all about social proof. How many stars does that restaurant have on Google? How many reviews does that florist have on The Knot? What does the Brides of Long Island Facebook group have to say about that photographer? While ratings and reviews can certainly be helpful, buyer beware: some channels are heavily edited and curated to highlight some businesses while suppressing others.

As a ‘Type A’, overachieving, analytical, detail-oriented, career event planner, I plan for everything. I learned how to plan an event and confirm and reconfirm details and partners so many times, that there is little room for the unexpected. At the risk of being cliche though, one must expect the unexpected.
