Recognized as one of Newport, Rhode Island’s most sought after wedding and event planners in the industry. 

With a focus on strong vendor relationships, an amazing eye for details, and extensive hands on experience, you will be well taken care of.

Her philosophy blends luxury with levity and precision with ease 

Growing up with three brothers, Pamela learned early how to handle anything with grace and agility. A former competitive figure skater, she understands that a seamless event is the result of devoted preparation and thoughtful execution.

Pamela enjoys spending time with her son, coaching skating, hitting the ski slopes, and “trolling” the internet and magazines for design inspirations. Pamela is also founder and coordinator for Operation Jack Rabbit, a charitable organization named after her son. Operation Jack Rabbit provides Easter pails to non-profit organizations and children throughout Rhode Island.

About Our Clients

Our clients relish in the finer details and have an affinity for exquisite culinary experiences.

Our clients are sophisticated, well-traveled couples who value quality over excess and experiences over trends. They appreciate thoughtful details, exceptional hospitality, and celebrations that feel refined yet entirely personal. Many are busy professionals who want a seamless, beautifully designed wedding without the overwhelm of managing every decision themselves. They care deeply about the guest experience—from the first welcome drink to the final song of the night—and believe great food, great music, and a smooth flow make all the difference. They’re drawn to understated luxury, timeless design, and celebrations that feel effortless rather than overproduced. Above all, they want a wedding that reflects their taste, their story, and the way they love to host, travel, dine, and gather with the people they cherish most.
