We had an initial meeting to go over what we wanted for the shower. She came well prepared and understood my vision immediately. I left feeling confident that it was going to be amazing. After that meeting, she took everything on with minimal outreach and questions, which was perfect for me. With such a busy schedule, I loved knowing that everything was taken care of! The day of my shower was so carefree. I only had to worry about getting ready and showing up. What a treat! Of course, when I arrived, everything was PERFECT. She captured my style and vision perfectly. It was so beautiful I got emotional. She considered all the details and had the schedule perfectly coordinated. Everyone was commenting on how beautiful all the details were. I was able to sit back, relax and enjoy the great company... as a pregnant women, that's golden! Having Pursue Pretty Events plan my shower was a great decision. Jesenia is extremely creative and thoughtful. She also extremely professional and timely. She's able to capture the person she's planning for and doesn't try to impose her own style. She only enhanced what was already on mind. She's amazing and I recommend her to everyone!

Jesenia has a structure that allows us to communicate the things that are most important to us to make our events feel personal. She takes her time to understand what we want while guiding us with her expertise on having a wonderful event. We've hired her to plan out wedding and with that service came the events leading up to the event. So far we've had our engagement party (which was executed to perfection with a short time frame) and scouted venues for our destination wedding. Jesenia has had excellent communication to ensure all vendors and venue appointments are set up, all extras are purchased ahead of time and set up prior to us getting to the venue, all invites and RSVPs were sent out on time and that we're staying on track with our overall timeline so we never feel overwhelmed with the process. Hiring her was the best decision we made. Knowing that we can just walk into our event and we can enjoy it because all the details have already been taken care of is exactly the peace of mind we were searching for. If you want your Pinterest party dreams to come to life, Jesenia is the event planning fairy godmother you need in your life!

With over 300 attendees expected, including high-net-worth donors and government representatives, we realized in the final month that we needed an expert to support the final week's logistics and day-of coordination. That's when Alyssa from Neighborly Events came on board--and she was exactly what we needed. Alyssa's attention to detail and calm demeanor were evident from the start. She was incredibly thoughtful, asking the right questions to fully understand our goals and ensure everything was in place. Working alongside me and our other consultant, she was a huge help with last-minute needs, including even securing a volunteer staff member needed for registration. Her professionalism and expertise allowed me and my team to focus on our guests, knowing that every detail was under control. If you're looking for high-level event support to ensure things go smoothly, I highly recommend Alyssa and Neighborly Events. We couldn't have pulled it off without her!

Let me first say, I"ve lived in New York City for 21 years (as of tomorrow.) And, anyone who lives…read morehere, and has ever tried to plan an event, knows, one of the hardest things to find is an exception event planner who is as efficient and attentive to details, as she brilliant at taking the reigns and making everything perfect. There are probably 100 horrible "event planners" for every amazing one. Finally, I've found someone who is both top drawer, and beyond talented at what she does. And that person/company is Ruth Lapin Events, hands down. I first met Ruth Lapin years ago at a function. She impressed right off the bat, and dazzled me. So, when I began looking for an event planner, the first name that came to mind was Ruth Lapin. Actually, I should say, the ONLY name that came to mind was Ruth Lapin. You know what I'm saying? Anyone who has ever tried to coordinate something as "simple" as a toast at a cocktail gathering or even a child's birthday party understands that event planning can be an ordeal. It's like, "schedule,s, details and last minute emergencies, OH MY!" I have an event coming up, and thought of having to deal with the vendor, negotiate a decent price (by New York standards), vet the people who are doing the serving, the food prep and cooking, the teeny tiny details that start seeming like nails on a chalkboard, the whiners and criers, the family (and ALL their drams), the backup plan for an outdoor event (in case it should rain), etc ... Seriously, do you want to start playing the price game with the vendor who will only sell and deliver the specific napkins (or the personalized t-shirts) if you buy a minimum of some crazy number that's 100 times more than you actually have use for? Moreover, Ruth has exquisite tastes. And, most importantly, she takes the time to talk to you, listen and really understand what it is that you want, not what she thinks you should want. So I'm always confident that what she's going to come back with, and suggest is going to be conceived and created from my vision and my wants and needs. She also has such an eye for design, inevitably she's added some elements that you never considered because you didn't know enough to consider them. I love the vibe. I love the positive energy. I love the synergy of working together. Never once, in all the years I've worked with Ruth, has she disappointed me. In fact, quite the opposite. She's always impressed me in new and exciting ways. Ruth Lapin is who I want to be when I grow up!

No stone was left unturned, she thought of every last detail, recommended the most talented vendors, it was just such a relief for my cousin to have someone navigate, always taking into account the personality, vision, and budget of the couple. In this case, the bride and groom did not always see eye to eye, but Ruth was able to "marry" their divergent visions, both were so delighted by the outcome, and we all had the best time. She seems so well-connected and well-liked in the industry, and she's extremely affable, warm, and witty. I recommended her to my best friend, who is finally getting married to his gay partner of twenty years, can't wait to see what she whips up for this fabulous pair.
