Amy's path to hospitality began at Cornell University's School of Hotel Administration, where an interest in business evolved into a passion for event planning. What followed was two decades alongside some of the most respected hoteliers and restaurateurs, including Ian Schrager, André Balazs, and Chef Tom Colicchio—learning the craft from the inside out. 

Working on the 2006 reopening team for Schrager’s Gramercy Park Hotel was a defining moment for Amy—and for New York hospitality. It was there that she mastered what it meant to design an experience from every angle—arrival to last course, lobby to table. That sensibility and the network that comes with it draw clients to her today. What sets the tone is Amy’s calm presence—earned from producing thousands of events (and her 200-hour yoga certification). 

Living in Connecticut, Amy balances running the firm with being a wife and mom of two. Outside her work, she's usually outdoors in nature or practicing her (still-developing) tennis serve.

Danielle and Amy’s story began over 20 years ago, when they met at Cornell’s School of Hotel Administration. That college friendship turned into a professional partnership, when they joined the re-opening team for the Gramercy Park Hotel in 2006.   

Danielle went on to build a career with some of the world’s most prestigious luxury hospitality brands, including Ritz Carlton & Mandarin Oriental. She brings decades of high-level expertise in sales, client relations, and event production to the Amy O’Keefe Events team. Now based in Atlanta, Danielle focuses on driving business development and ensuring client success for projects nationwide.

When she isn’t perfecting a client’s vision or growing the business, you’ll find her on the tennis court, experimenting in the kitchen, or hitting the slopes with her husband and 10-year-old son.
