The Story
Born to it.
Her father Stanley ran Harry's, a Washington store that supplied wine and liquor to players and politicians. Harry's private label champagne was the one poured to toast the moon landing. Her mother, Clara Walker, was one of maybe ten event planners working in the entire country at the time. “She would drag me as a child to every meeting.” Bonnie trained as an artist, which is why she can design what does not yet exist outside a client's imagination. “If an event is a puzzle, it's my job to put every piece together to create the perfectly finished picture.”

What we do
I am representing you.
“I never forget what so many event planners sometimes do: I am representing you. The guests are going to walk away not saying it was a Bonnie event, but that it was so personalized to you.” She pre presses every crease in the napkins. “Everything is not just fresh and creative. It's fine. Every square inch of what I do is to perfection.” And no two are alike. “I have never done an event the same way twice. I have never done a design twice. And that is pretty difficult.”
