Five years ago, we didn’t set out to build an event planning business. We just wanted to create something joyful—something safe, something beautiful, something that gave people a reason to smile (even from six feet apart).

What started as a humble luxury picnic setup in the heart of a pandemic has grown into a full-blown event planning adventure: Party Vault Eventures. And this month, we’re celebrating five years of progress, pivots, and party magic.

But here’s the real story behind the sparkle ✨—because it wasn’t all rainbows and butterflies from the beginning.

🎯 We Started with a Side Hustle (and a Big Purpose)

Back in 2020, the world was shut down, events were canceled, and connection felt out of reach. So we got creative. We started setting up curated luxury picnics outdoors to give people a safe way to celebrate love, friendship, birthdays, and just being together.

At the time, it was a side hustle—a way to bring in extra income during a time of uncertainty. But more than that, it was a way to feel hopeful.

💡 The Power of Starting Small (and Smart)

Starting a side hustle taught us something big: you don’t have to have it all figured out to start something meaningful.

When the world shut down and work came to a halt, we didn’t have the option to “keep our day jobs.” Instead, we had to get scrappy, resourceful, and bold. What began as a way to bring in income during uncertain times turned into a creative outlet—and eventually, a calling.

Through that season, we were able to:
✅ Test our ideas
✅ Learn from every win and wobble
✅ Adapt our services to what people truly needed
✅ Build genuine relationships rooted in trust
✅ Reinvest into something bigger than we imagined

We weren’t rushing—we were rebuilding. And because we stayed focused on serving with heart and purpose, that little spark of a side hustle eventually turned into the full-blown magic of Party Vault Eventures.

🎪 From Picnics to Party Pros

In just a few years, our weekend picnic gig grew into Elite Marquee, our rental and decor company. Then, as our client base expanded and our creativity kept flowing, Party Vault Eventures was born—an event planning and coordinating company designed to help others celebrate moments that matter without the stress.

We’ve helped families honor milestones, couples tie the knot, and companies build meaningful connections through curated experiences. Every event has been an opportunity to turn our “side hustle” into something life-changing—for us and our clients.

🔥 Here’s Why We Believe in Side Hustles (and You Should Too)

We’re living proof that small beginnings can lead to big celebrations. Here’s what we’ve learned:

💸 Lower Risk = More Creative Freedom
Starting slow allowed us to take bold ideas without breaking the bank.

🧠 Learn as You Go
We didn’t wait to be “experts” to get started—we became the experts through experience.

🎨 Try Before You Commit
From custom tablescapes to event themes, testing different ideas helped us find our sweet spot.

😌 Stress Less, Celebrate More
Because we didn’t have the pressure to grow overnight, we actually enjoyed the process—and our business is stronger for it.

🎉 A Toast to Year 5—and Beyond

So here’s to the clients who trusted us, the family and friends who cheered us on, and every celebration that reminded us why we do what we do.

Whether you’re planning your dream wedding or just dreaming of starting something new—we’re living proof that what begins as a side hustle can turn into your soul’s work.
