Eileen helped us to plan our wedding which was on September 6th, 2014, at the Hopkins Vineyard. We started working with her in February, so there was a lot to plan and organize within a short period of time. From the beginning, Eileen was quick to respond to emails and phone calls, and was able to work around our crazy schedules when arranging to meet with us. She was always on time for our scheduled meetings and never canceled on us. She helped us pick vendors, advising us on the myriad of details along the way. In addition to amazing organizational skills and attention to detail, Eileen also has a great personality, which makes her a pleasure to work with. On the actual day of our wedding, everything came together perfectly. Eileen arranged all the delivery times, and was on site for all deliveries to ensure the correct items were being delivered & placed. Even a massive thunderstorm an hour before our ceremony didn't faze Eileen - she went above and beyond to make sure nothing was damaged by the rain, and that all was put back in place just in time (we were lucky in that the storm cleared a few minutes before our ceremony). Eileen stayed for the whole wedding, always making sure things were going as planned. We couldn't have had such a beautiful wedding without Eileen!

FAQs

How did you get started doing this type of work?
I began in college, organizing events for a private club. After receiving my BS degree in Business and Art, I got married and raised four children. I joined my husband's tent and party rental business in the 1980s, using my artistic abilities to transform empty spaces or tall billowing tents into beautiful venues. I founded ESE in 2008 but have been in the event industry for over twenty-five years!
What types of customers have you worked with?
Specializing in outdoor events, I've worked with customers to create and organize hundreds of functions. These include but are not limited to Prep School commencements, Vassar College alumni weekend for 2500 guests, Henry Kissinger's surprise birthday party, Ethan Allen's Inc. national sales meeting, American Cancer Society's Relay for Life event and countless weddings and milestone occasions.
Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
Every event I did last year I was very proud of. As I mentioned every event I do is unique in nature. I am proud I can take the reins and execute with memorable and stress-free results for my client
