Pierpont Place

Janice Boes is the founder and CEO of Pierpont Place and Premier Event Services!

She is a California native who moved to Utah in 1989 to pursue a business degree at the University of Utah. After realizing she had a passion for event coordination and organization, she founded Premier Corporate Events in 2001 (later changing the name and scope of work).

Soon after, Premier added two very successful divisions–bar service and wedding planning–that led Janice to her niche in the Salt Lake event market. In 2006, she opened Pierpont Place, “Salt Lake’s Premier Event Venue!”

Pierpont Place was pioneered as a new and contemporary venue option with L.A./NYC flair; a blank canvas that could be transformed into any imaginable design and theme. This urban chic event venue would wow guests and clients from around the world, eventually being branded as Best Company Party Venue, Couples Choice Wedding Venue, and Best Gathering Space.

Janice is the proud recipient of several awards herself and holder of various prominent positions. She is currently the President of the Salt Lake City Chapter of the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) and was recently nominated to a national board committee. She has served as the chair of the Salt Lake Chamber’s President’s Ambassadors group under Lane Beatty and was recently named one of “30 Women to Watch” by Salt Lake Magazine! Her strength and passion extend past her business to her family, where she works just as hard to be the best mother and wife she can be.

Believe it or not, before Marissa became one of our remarkable Event Coordinators, she was one of our favorite clients!

After holding an event at Pierpont Place in 2016, Marissa became intrigued by the event industry. She LOVED how Janice and the Pierpont team made her day perfect, and started throwing all of her friends’ baby showers, bridal showers, engagement parties, and more! She started working at Storybrook Play Cafe while she was a stay-at-home mom and her favorite part was helping to decorate all of their fun events.

She realized how much she enjoyed this work, and decided she wanted to pursue a career in the event industry - and she knew just the person to reach out to for help! When Marissa got in touch with Janice about her interest in event work, Janice took her under her wing immediately, and ever since then, Marissa has been designing, coordinating, and planning weddings and events with the Pierpont team! She’s fun, creative, and hard-working, and is always excited about what she’ll be able to design and plan next!
