Amy Katz
CEO AND FOUNDER
Amy had planned events for many years for friends and acquaintances. However, when her daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes twenty three years ago, she was determined to help find a cure. She founded, planned and organized the first Carnival For A Cure fundraiser for the Diabetes Research Institute Foundation in Manhattan. Since then, Amy has planned and executed hundreds of events including Weddings, Bar & Bat Mitzvahs, Sweet Sixteens, Milestone Parties, Destination Weddings, Corporate Events, Fundraisers, Not For Profit Events and many other celebrations.
Amy previously worked in the fields of marketing, sales, retailing and the fashion industry. During those years, she honed her negotiating skills; presently she puts them to good use when she negotiates contracts with various vendors while planning an event.
Amy holds a BS degree from Syracuse University in Retail/Marketing.
