Since our founding in 2000, we have crafted our approach to wedding and event planning. By, catering to each client in order to highlight the details that matter the most; equipping them with the knowledge and insight to help them make the best decisions; using our skills and abilities to work on behalf of our clients to provide them with the best service possible. We work hard, in order to provide our clients with a beautiful stress-free event. All of our coordinators have the passion and years of experience it takes to help bring your one-of-a-kind vision to life. We are attentive and detailed in our service planning, ensuring that everything runs smoothly from start to finish.
At neu events, we believe in the importance of finding the right “fit”. Weddings and special events are not “one size fits all.” Whether you are planning a wedding or special event, we want to help you to create a distinctive event, and to take into consideration your specific goals and wishes. Through a combination of extreme information gathering, transparency and luxury treatment, we aim to exceed your expectations by putting together a special event that matches your priorities and style. You won’t be bound to a set of preferred vendors; you will truly have the latitude and freedom to work with the best service providers in the industry, enabling us to create and customize a truly unique event for you.
Hundreds of weddings and events later, we continue to service couples and companies based on the same founding principles and values. We hope to have the opportunity to lend you our very best, too.
