Event Coordination + Event Design = The Perfect Pairing
Event Coordination
With a graceful and experienced touch we guide you through the process of planning and executing your event vision. Through consultation, vendor management, and day-of coordination for events of all kinds, we allow you to relax and enjoy every moment while we execute every detail.
Breathe…now doesn’t that already feel better? Let’s get started.
Full Wedding Coordination
Let us take care of everything, from start to finish. We’re there through meetings and planning right up to the wedding day, providing you with caring & skilled guidance on vendors, budgeting, styling & aesthetics, and hosting guests & family. We’ll take your dream and run with it, guiding you through every turn.
This package culminates in Month-of Coordination, executed seamlessly in our signature detail-loving style.
Partial Wedding Planning
Perhaps you’ve started the planning process, but are overwhelmed at the sheer number of to-do list items left? We’ll pick up where you’ve left off, allowing you to focus on each other, your friends, and your families.
Final logistics are our specialty - and we’ll close the gaps in your design, timeline, budgeting, payments & vendor confirmations, bridal party specifics, beauty appointments & fittings, rehearsals and more. This package culminates in Day-of Coordination, executed seamlessly in our signature detail-loving style.
Social Events & Non-profit / Corporate
These beauty-filled events deserve their own dedicated design & planning process, and nothing is more exciting to us than joining you in imagining your next great event. We refer you to the finest vendors around and help you execute your plan from invitations, to favors, to menu & entertainment planning, to onsite coordination. No detail is too small!
With over 4 years of NYC gala planning under our belts we are equally equipped to bring excellence to your next non-profit or corporate event, and we’ll help you meet your goals with flair.
Event Design
Is it flowers you’re after? A full design concept from entrance to exit? We provide a comprehensive set of services tailored specially to your needs.
Start to finish - beautifully realized.
Floral
We. Love. Flowers. Who doesn’t? But here, we take special pride in creating beautifully-arranged masterpieces to reflect your style.
We’ll handle the dirty work to create all the insta-worthy beauty including bridal party personals, ceremony & reception pieces, and everything in-between - all executed with a high level of floral know-how and creative inspiration.
Aesthetic
For those wanting to take their event a step further into a fully-crafted experience, we are happy to add on creative consultation and management of those extra elements. We’ll handle the installation pieces, custom & rented furniture and props, and guest interactive features.
Not to be outdone by the flowers and cake - printed pieces and graphics are a beautiful way to put a stamp of individuality and class on your event. We provide consultation and guidance through choosing and creating these design elements. From invitations, to VIP pieces like out-of-town welcome gifts, to the day-of elements, our preferred vendors bring endless experience to the table to help you complete your vision, and we’ll be there through it all to ensure seamless integration and execution.
Our clients and their events are unique, and our offerings vary based on the scope of each project.
Please tell us more and we’ll be happy to create a custom proposal just for you!
About
Mustard Seed Events & Design was launched in early 2013 and is proud to be a NYC-based company focused on event design and seamless coordination.
You’ll notice it from the first meeting - Emily and her project teams simply love what they do. Each detail is important, and the things that matter to you matter to us.
Why the Mustard Seed?
The mustard seed is one of the smallest seeds, and as many gardeners know, it produces one of the strongest trees. This beautiful picture is not unlike the stories of our clients and their growing love, dreams, visions, and reasons to celebrate. Starting with something small, almost invisible, the seed produces long-lasting strength and vitality.
Emily Stripling, Owner + Founder
With a background in event production, in-house management, personal assisting, floral design, photography, styling, and wedding coordination, Emily brings a strong blend of creativity and organization to each project. Her many years of involvement in various administrative and production-related professions is enhanced by a creative drive and passion for people.
She is gifted in logistics planning and strongly desires to see events operate with a level of excellence that ultimately allows benchmarks to be met with style and grace.
