FAQs
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Typically we correspond through either email or phone calls to acquire the vision of the wedding or event as well as simple details that go along with the event vision. Should we have the date of your event available, we go ahead and set up a phone or in person meeting in order to go over your full list of needs and to hear more about your vision in more detail.

- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I began my career in catering as an intern and banquet server the minute I was old enough to work. I then went on to receive my bachelors degree from Johnson & Wales University majoring in Sports/Entertainment/Event Management with a concentration in Meeting and Event Management. Here I received extensive training and hands on experience in all aspects of the event world from concerts to sporting events to weddings and lifetime events. I then further expanded my horizons by working as a banquet supervisor for the Renaissance at Patriot Place then moved into a Sales Manager roll with the Holiday Inn chain. From there, I decided it was time to break off and begin Everlasting Affairs focusing on wedding and event planning which was my true passion. I am now full time here at EA and have a staff of 5 consisting of (2) full time wedding planners and (3) seasonal day-of assistants! :D
