Throwing Epic Small Business Events In
No one hypes up your business more than another small business owner
Why work 40 hours a week when you can work 24/7 for yourself? That’s why you need the Red Velvet Collective to plan your next event… So you can do the thing you're best at — running your business. So shop small with us, and let us plan big for you.
Why hire a small business event planner?
Details Matter - and it's the missed details that matter most
Skip us, and you’ll miss the sparkle! We nail every detail — no stress, all flair. Hire us and party like you planned it yourself (but better)!
Your first impression was being unorganized. Your guests weren’t greeted or given any instruction as to what to do or where to go.
You were so busy focusing on marketing your business that you forgot to put yourself in the guests shoes so the dress code was never communicated, uncomfortable chairs were rented, and the food got cold.
The mic wasn't sound checked so it made that high-pitched, embarrassing sound that makes your ears bleed...and when you finally deliver a perfect toast only to raise your glass and everyone looks around because no one passed out the champagne. (yikes!)
You're having so much fun, but after the last guest leaves you panic and realize you have no idea who actually showed up and have no way to contact them to buy your future offering.
Imagine if this happened to you:
we don't have to imagine....because we've seen it happen so many times!
And we're not the only one who notices - your guests notice too, and they talk
Fun fact! You can tell an event was planned well from the moment you pull into the parking lot. Your guests are noticing every detail - from the dips in the parking lot to the long lines at the door. They feel the lack of planning when they see things like missing place cards, awkward lulls, and last-minute chaos. And all of it is a reflection of you and your business.
Without a solid event plan and a crazed event planner running around making the magic happen behind the scenes...they feel the confusion and it's making memories (that they are definitely talk about behind your back)! Don't let that be the impression you leave.
And let's be honest...
“It's so important to have a planner who not only keeps the day flowing smoothly but also understands the flow of time for schedules — Ashlyn and her team do this flawlessly.”

I want to throw a Business Event or party, but I have no idea where to start!
Have questions about event planning? We've got answers!
Feeling overwhelmed about throwing a business event? Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered! Whether you’re dreaming of a chic soirée or a wild dance-off, start with a clear vision — theme, guest list, and budget. Next, nail down a venue (your place or a rented space), plan delicious food and drinks, and sprinkle in some killer décor and entertainment. And hey, if that all sounds like too much, just call me! I’ll handle every detail, so all you have to do is show up, sip cocktails, and bask in the compliments. Let’s make it a party to remember!
Totally up to you! Want to be hands-on, picking every napkin color and playlist song? I’m here for it. Prefer to kick back, sip your coffee (or champagne), and let me do the heavy lifting? Even better! Depending on your party’s size and complexity, we’ll have a few planning check-ins, but I’ll handle the nitty-gritty while you stay as involved (or uninvolved) as you like. Think of me as your party genie—your wish is my command!
We do it all! Whether it’s a cozy dinner party for your inner circle or a blowout bash with a guest list longer than your grocery receipts, I’m your go-to planner. Intimate gatherings? I’ll make them feel like a million bucks. Grand celebrations? I’ll bring the “WOW” factor. Big or small, every party deserves a touch of magic—and that’s where we come in!
Ah, the million-dollar question—but don’t worry, it doesn’t cost that much! Our pricing depends on the size, scope, and sparkle of your event. Whether you’re planning a small soirée or an epic extravaganza, I’ll tailor my services to fit your vision and your budget. Think of it this way: you’re investing in a stress-free, fabulous party while I handle all the chaos. Let’s chat, and I’ll whip up a custom quote just for you—no sticker shock, promise!
The sooner, the better! Big, fabulous business events? Book me at least 6-12 months ahead to lock in your dream date. More of a last-minute party vibe? I can work magic with just a few weeks' notice (but bring snacks—I thrive under pressure). Bottom line: the earlier you book, the more time we have to plan the party of your dreams. Let’s not keep your guests waiting for the bash of the year, okay?
