our story
10 YEARS OF SPECTACULAR CELEBRATIONS
And so it begins…
After years of being the go-to for advice on party planning and design, I decided it was time to follow my true calling. I left fashion for good and shortly afterward, M. Studio Events was born. (Before founding M. Studio Events, I spent a decade working for fashion label Anne Klein, and then branched into children’s wear with the launch of my showroom, The Kids Company.)
Sammi’s Party
One of our first big parties was actually for our daughter, Sammi. Her theme was “Sammi’s Midnight Birthday Bash” — we had photos and memorabilia of her life woven throughout the party in creative ways so everyone could see her “growing up.” Her bat mitzvah was a huge success and after that, requests for bookings started pouring in.
More glitz, more glamour
By now, we were bonafide party planners in NYC, having executed events at some of the city’s most prestigious and iconic venues. We transformed the Tribeca Rooftop, The Harmonie Club and Cipriani, among others, for magical celebrations.
‘Adamcrombie’ is a hit
When our son, Adam, turned 13, he wanted a bar mitvah bash to remember. So, I dreamed up “Adamcrombie” — a fully branded party themed around his favorite clothing store, Abercrombie & Fitch. We pulled out all the stops, and it was worth it! Adamcrombie went viral thanks to MitzvahMarket.com, and this super-charged celebration put us on everyone’s radar.
Business is booming
Four years in, I needed more hands on deck to help keep up with all the parties. My husband, Scott, was always behind the scenes helping me make it all happen, but it became clear that I needed him full time if M. Studio Events was going to keep growing. With Scott officially on board, I was able to focus solely on the creative aspect of the events — and on making each one as fabulous as possible.
Beyond birthdays
M. Studio Events made a foray into corporate events in a big way in 2012, when Pepperidge Farm asked us to plan and execute a fabulous fete in honor of their first Thanksgiving Day Parade balloon. Then came Grumpy Cat, who asked us to help plan his birthday bash! You know you’ve made it when the internet’s most famous cat comes knocking!
Go big, and go bigger
Every year, the parties seem to get bigger and brighter. We planned some of my absolute favorite events during this time, including I.M. Beauty and MAINEly Jack. After nearly 10 years, I could not feel more proud, excited and eager for what the next decade has in store.
Cheers to 10 years!
Dig out the disco ball. Pop open the bubbly. And dance like nobody’s watching — M. Studio Events is 10, and what a ride it’s been! After a decade of throwing parties for others, I decided it was time to fete yours truly, and celebrate with a shiny new look and feel for our brand! New logo, new colors, new website, new everything. But, of course, still the same party planning prowess. That’ll never change. To everyone who has been a part of this journey so far, thank you, thank you, thank you. Now let’s party!
most memorable themes
Adamcrombie
Our first all-singing-all-dancing, fully branded event. We totally reimagined the venue, transforming a bar into an Abercrombie & Fitchy-style store, complete with fitting rooms (built from foam core boards) and piles of folded fabric designed to look like clothing. We printed the custom-designed ‘Adamcrombie’ logo on factory sample T-shirts, shorts and cologne boxes. There were even paper bags with photographs of Adam, shot like a sepia A&F campaign, and personalized retail receipts with the event details. My favorite part? The invites! We printed the invitation on an A&F-inspired T-shirt and mailed them in ‘Adamcrombie’ boxes, so every guest got true package in the mail.
i.m. Beauty
This salon-meets-pamper party was inspired by the birthday girl’s initial, I.M., and her nickname, Beauty. The venue was decked out with products and accessories (think hair rollers, nail polish, eye shadow palettes and brushes)., and all attendees got branded eye masks, socks and water bottles. We wanted to make the girls feel empowered and uplifted — and send the right message about beauty — so we wove positive mantras like “Beauty is Nothing Without Brains” throughout the decor.
MAINEly Jack
A New England sleep-away camp comes to NYC — that was the feel we evoked with MAINEly Jack. A replica bonfire and rolls of astroturf brought the outdoors inside. From the napkins with fabric name tags (a la the labels our parents put on our belongings at summer camp) to the wooden bunks and branded laundry bags, we wanted every guest — generations of summer campers — to feel a sense of nostalgia. And it worked!
