About our Team and Founder

We believe you should love your event as much as you love the reason for it.

With the abundance of options out there, choosing a wedding or professional event planner for your next soirΓ©e can leave you feeling overwhelmed and asking, quite frankly, “What makes you different?”

 

“It all comes down to three main factors: calm under pressure, diverse experience, and a focus on you,” says Founder Patricia Simitakos. “Let me explain.”

1. Calm Under Pressure

 

Whether working on a high-profile society wedding, a corporate meeting or a family milestone celebration, I am passionate about fulfilling my clients’ needs and helping them make a positive impact.

 

My global design perspective, eco-friendly solutions and β€œget it done” approach are hallmarks that have followed me from New York City to Washington, D.C. and beyond.

 

But what really sets my career apart from the pack is my willingness to take on the role of adviser and helpful guide.

2. Diverse Experience

 

While living in New York, I gained experience producing events with Forbes 100 companies American Express Centurion, and the InterContinental Hotel Group. These positions each provided an additional layer to my education and experience in the worlds of luxury concierge services and hospitality and event management.

 

After more than 20 years of successful execution of events in domestic and international locations while in those roles, I decided to branch out on my own in 2014 to bring the lessons I learned to the greater Washington DC area.

3. A Focus on YOU

 

Throughout the planning stages, I listen to my client’s ideas and translate them into a truly memorable event experience.

 

My history reflects my commitment to exceptional professionalism, and I do not consider customer service to be optional. As a personal event specialist, I design and manifest my clients hearts desire.

 

But what really sets my career apart from the pack is my willingness to take on the role of adviser and helpful guide.
