About

On WeddingWire since 2022

Exquisite Event is a premier Somerset, New Jersey-based, full-service wedding and event planning company serving the Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York markets. Inspired by a passion for elegant design and a love for planning, I am dedicated to helping each client create the wedding of their dreams.

Experience

A liberal arts degree from Middlebury College, an MBA, and 20 years working in corporate and event planning has chosen me. I'm grateful to have found my passion. I fully designed my own wedding, which was featured in Manhattan Bride Magazine and was described by many as "the most beautiful wedding they had ever experienced." I wished I had someone dedicated to helping me navigate through the stressful wedding planning process. I decided then that I would be that help; that I would serve as a dedicated guide to help others navigate this daunting task and help them to create, plan, and execute their Exquisite Event.

Services Offered

Whether looking to do a destination wedding, a smaller intimate affair, or a large-scale "event of the year," we help our clients make informed decisions to achieve their perfect day. From dress designer to the florist, from music to decor, Exquisite Event is here to help you make your vision flawless and to work within your budget to do so.

​Planning is an art that requires a unique set of skills: coordination, project execution, meticulous attention to detail, organization, and industry networking. Our full-service planning is not just limited to weddings; we are here to help you plan everything from birthdays and anniversaries to cultural affairs and meetings. We will be the dedicated support team that will help you partner with the right vendors that match your specific needs, and ultimately ensure your vision comes to life.

It was truly exquisite

It was the most magical day of my life. Evonne truly wanted our day to be incredible. It was obvious she was doing her very best and I’m very thankful. She listened and responded to our thoughts. It was the best day of my life and everyone was GUSHING about how amazing the wedding was.

It’s all in the name, Exquisite

From our first meeting, I knew Evonne was the person we were looking for! I love that she immediately understood the vision and goals for our wedding but most importantly she understood us as a couple. Evonne helped us select and vet key vendors, e.g our venue, caterer and florist, as well as provided day of coordination. Evonne and her team were amazing and made sure everything was perfect for our special day. From setting up decor, to managing the vendors last minute questions, to rounding up family for photos. She did it all! We are eternally grateful to Exquisite Event. I am 100% confident that our wedding day was perfect because of her and her team!

An Exceptional level of support

My wife and I discussed having a small intimate wedding, one I thought we could plan on our own, but my wife insisted that we get help. We spoke to a few different planners who didn’t resonate with us, and then we met with Evonne, and within 10 minutes of speaking my wife knew she was the one. Evonne was amazing in every way possible - her energy, her knack for details, her interpersonal skills, the creative ideas she presented and her amazing communication skills. She really captured what we wanted and helped us make it possible.

Now that I’ve gone through the wedding planning process, I would highly recommend hiring a wedding planner regardless of if the wedding is big or small. Evonne gave us that piece of mind that we had everything covered and nothing had been forgotten.

On the day of the wedding, the only thing my wife and I had to worry about was having fun and staying together to greet our guests. Evonne and her team took care of everything else!

I can honestly say, our wedding would not have been as amazing without the support Evonne gave us throughout our wedding planning process!
