As a former Wall Street executive, I understand two important concepts—one delivering results that exceed expectations, and two, doing it within budget.

For many, throwing a party can be a daunting endeavor—both from a planning and implementation perspective.  And while some enjoy the creative experience of planning their party, how many can truly say they enjoy working their party?  How many times have you found yourself grabbing a cocktail, ready to chat with your guests only to find your guests are now leaving?  Was this really a good return on your investment?  Probably not. Do this a few times, and you’re bound to lose interest in hosting parties altogether. Why? You’re simply not having a good time!  Alternatively, you can choose to outsource this responsibility to me, and sit back and enjoy your guests.  But for many, the ultimate consideration is how much money is this going to cost me?

Not as much as you think.  By the time folks tally up all the decorative and party supply expenses to create a party, they’re surprised to learn using me saves them money, and they can then apply these savings toward labor—the critical component to enjoying the party!  Now, that’s what I call a nice return on your investment.

I’m Claire. I deliver amazing parties and do it within your budget!

My inspiration for designing parties stems from a love of the old.  Using vintage and traditional classic themes, I craft parties reminiscent of a simpler time.  Think handmade crafts, gorgeous floral fabrics, unique vintage props, and organic materials.  Using my creative inspiration coupled with my practical business skills—strong project management, solid negotiation, and overall marketing savvy, I create memorable occasions from English Garden Parties to Country Chic Weddings.

At Simple Chic Events, our mission is to provide timeless, imaginative, and simply beautiful event solutions for the every-day metropolitan woman at a competitive cost.
