Event planning & styling · Based in New York City
Birthdays, dinner parties, themed nights, corporate gatherings and sunset cruises. I handle the planning, design and coordination so you can be a guest at your own party.
What I plan
Full planning from the first idea, or just the pieces you need help with. Each event gets its own look, never a template.
Intimate dinners or big bashes. Venue, guest flow, décor, cake and the toast schedule.
Team parties, holiday events and client dinners that people actually look forward to.
Friendsgiving, Halloween, murder mysteries, Fourth of July. Themes taken seriously, down to the invitations.
Boat charters on the Hudson, rooftops, bars and private rooms, sourced and booked for you.
Tablescapes, florals, menus and place cards for bridal showers, baby showers and long-table dinners.
Already planned it yourself? I run the timeline, vendors and set-up so the day goes smoothly.
How it works
Tell me what you're celebrating, your date, guest count and budget.
A complimentary call to talk through your vision. After that, we work out logistics and pricing based on your event.
Venue, vendors, décor and a detailed timeline, with a mood board for sign-off.
I run everything on site so you can enjoy your guests.
Past events
Every party starts with a feeling. Here are some of the ones I've planned.

A candlelit at-home party with themed décor, a costume contest, seasonal cocktails and a custom playlist.
A backyard pool day outside the city with a grill station, lawn games, red, white and blue styling and sparklers after dark.
A private room booking with a custom cocktail menu, balloon installation, a photo backdrop and a cake moment.
Kind words
Carol seriously made my birthday so special! From the decorations to the smallest details. I got so many compliments and honestly couldn't have asked for a better night!
Carol did an amazing job planning our team event! She handled everything from start to finish and made the whole process so easy. Would definitely recommend her!
Our Fourth of July pool party was the best one yet. The decorations, food and sparklers after sunset were perfect. Carol brought all our ideas to life and made sure every guest was taken care of.
Meet the planner
I grew up in Brazil, where a party is never just a party. It's the food, the music, the people you didn't expect to meet and the moment everyone remembers the next morning. I spent eight years in Los Angeles and have called New York home for the last two and a half.
I've been the one planning the party for as long as I can remember: running campus events with my college's events group, serving as event coordinator for corporate gatherings of 200+ people, and throwing birthdays, Friendsgivings, Halloween nights, murder mysteries, Fourth of July weekends for friends and more.
Avenue Events is how I get to do that for you. Whatever you're celebrating, I'd love to help you plan it.
