Events
At By Design we believe that every event – no matter how large or small – should be planned carefully, so your day goes smoothly and turns out exactly as you had envisioned it to be.
Whether you’re looking to plan an anniversary or birthday party, retirement celebration, holiday party, corporate product launch event or just a celebration for it being a great Wednesday, By Design’s event coordinators can help you plan your special day from start to finish so you don’t have to worry about all of the little details.
The planners at By Design know that every event is different, and we think the plan should be as well. We’ll work with you – our client – to identify your unique needs and vision, and work with you on as little or as much as you need us to help you with.

By Design Day-Of Event Coordination
Already have an event plan? Vendors and venues secured? Food and beverages ordered? Congratulations! Now all you need is a hand pulling your event day off smoothly, so you too can enjoy the festivities! Let the By Design event team worry about the logistics, guests, vendors and set-up so you don’t have to. It’s what we do and what we love.
The By Design Day-Of Event Coordination includes:
- A meeting up to two weeks prior to the event day, to go through the day-of event details, so we know what the plan is, who should be there, when, etc.;
- A follow-up meeting on an as-needed basis the day before an event in case of any timeline changes or logistical challenges that might come up; and
- A By Design event coordinator and assistant – we’ll arrive before the event starts and we’ll stay until it’s either well on its way or is wrapping up (based on event type and complexity).
By Design Partial Event Planning
Have an idea of what you want for your event, but finding it hard to figure out some of the logistics? Not sure what venue to select? Not sure when to send out invitations? Not enough time in your day to pull together every detail? By Design’s event team can help you with some of your event planning details. This can be as much or as little as you want us to. Just tell us what you need and we’ll tell you how we can help you. This package will vary, but they all include a one hour consultation with the By Design Event Coordinator, where we’ll go over your event plan, your resources and identify what it is that we can help you with.
