Trish Star Events

With the abundance of options out there, choosing a wedding or professional event planner for your next soirée can leave you feeling overwhelmed and asking, quite frankly, “What makes you different?” “It all comes down to three main factors: calm under pressure, diverse experience, and a focus on you,” says Founder Patricia Simitakos. “Let me explain.” 1. Calm Under Pressure Whether working on a high-profile society wedding, a corporate meeting or a family milestone celebration, we are passionate about fulfilling our clients’ needs and helping them make a positive impact. My global design perspective, eco-friendly solutions and “get it done” approach are hallmarks that have followed me from New York City to Washington, D.C. and beyond. But what really sets us apart from the pack is our willingness to take on the role of adviser and helpful guide. Diverse Experience While living in New York, Trish Simitakos gained experience producing events with Forbes 100 companies American Express Centurion, and the InterContinental Hotel Group. These positions each provided an additional layer to her education and experience in the worlds of luxury concierge services and hospitality and event management."After more than 20 years of successful execution of events in domestic and international locations while in those roles, I decided to branch out on my own in 2014 to bring the lessons I learned to the greater Washington DC area." 3. A Focus on YOU Throughout the planning stages, we REALLY listen to our client’s ideas and translate them into a truly memorable event experience. Our history reflects our commitment to exceptional professionalism, and we do not consider customer service to be optional. As personal event specialists, we design and manifest my clients hearts desire.
