Agnes Events - With a French Touch!

Introduction: As an event, party and fundraiser coordinator, I organize many events, from the simplest to the most sophisticated -- corporate events (special celebrations and holiday parties) and private events (anniversaries, birthdays for children of all ages, and holiday, theme and surprise parties). I also worked for hotels and resorts, executed galas and fundraiser events for individuals and nonprofits in France and the US. My goal is to ensure the smooth running of your event, so that you just have to worry about enjoying the fun part. My priority is your satisfaction, whatever is your budget. I offer creative solutions and reliable resources. Here are a few tasks I managed successfully that I would be glad to execute for you and with you according to your specific needs.
