Event Planning with Purpose

Full-service planning for corporate, nonprofit and social events

New york | new england | Nationwide

Your event is about more than the logistics of filling a room with people. It’s about creating a memorable experience that honors your intention for gathering.

At Amy O’Keefe Events, we work with corporate organizations, nonprofits and individuals to manage event planning, production and execution on your behalf, so you can have all of the success without any of the stress that comes with hosting a function.

HERE’S HOW WE HELP

VENUE SOURCING

We’ll take care of finding the ideal location for your event that sets the stage for a great guest experience, whether that’s grand or intimate, indoor or outdoor, formal or raise-the-roof rowdy!

VENDOR MANAGEMENT

We can find, hire and manage all of the vendors required to achieve your event goals and vision, paying particular attention to selecting service providers who’ll go above and beyond to deliver on the details that matter to you most. 

EVENT PRODUCTION

From ideation to execution, we’ll map out, plan and manage all of the actions required to make your event a reality in a way that creates a memorable guest experience, facilitates connections and honors your intention for gathering.

MEET YOUR PLANNER

Hosting an event is a considerable investment with high expectations attached, and as anyone that’s planned an event before can attest—it always takes far more time than you think it should!

That’s why I founded Amy O’Keefe Events; to allow you to hand over the responsibility (and endless details) associated with planning your next event and instead focus on your guests and the goals at hand. 

I’ve devoted my career to creating memorable experiences, having spent 15 years working in top hotels and restaurants in NYC and having more recently produced events for the likes of the Paul and Daisy Soros Fellowship for New Americans, Roman and Williams, and Ceremonia.

We are here so you can have all of the event success you hope for without any of the stress.

When every last detail is perfectly attended to you’re able to create an impactful event that facilitates connection and leaves a lasting impression on your guests.

  • “The conference was a huge success. Fellows went away feeling empowered, motivated, and connected. It accomplished all of our goals. Amy did an exceptional job and brought great insight, skill and positivity to the whole process.”

  • “We’ve heard nothing but praise on the event, and a ton (including the Head of Climate for IKEA) said it was the best event of Climate Week. We couldn’t have done it without you!"

    Jillian Holzer, Senior Communications Manager, Food Program, World Resources Institute

  • “Amy is flexible, adaptable and has proven herself to be very nimble in a fast-paced startup environment. She’s a pleasure to work with and we’re grateful to have her on our team.”

    Marika Frumes, Founder, mysha

  • “We’ve had several great events with Amy and would recommend her over & over again! She is reliable, eager to help, acts quick and smart, and is creative. She is attentive to detail and always makes herself available for clients.”
