Emmy Whitney
owner
EWhitney Events offers a full range of special event planning services for non-profit galas and fundraisers, weddings, and many other special occasions.
With over twenty years of experience in the special events industry, Emmy has planned, organized, and managed thousands of events. After six years of working at a premier event management company, Emmy decided it was time to make a change and she ventured out on her own to start EWhitney Events LLC. With a strong background in non-profit fundraising events, Emmy expanded her services to include special events and weddings. With strong organizational skills, a kind heart, and a passion for events, Emmy has proven herself as a successful planner and entrepreneur.
One of Emmy’s strengths is taking a chaotic or stressful situation and giving it structure, organization, and a master plan – all with a positive attitude and a sense of calm. Her creativity and quick thinking have helped her along the way, and her experience with non-profits has helped her become a keen budget-watcher for clients.
Emmy graduated from Boston College with a double major in communications and psychology and a minor in French. She served for many years on the Board of Directors for Dress for Success Boston and is a Founding Board Member of Abaco Strong in the Bahamas.
When she is not busy planning events, Emmy enjoys yoga, traveling, and spending time with her husband and two kids. She is also a Master Scuba Diver and a Certified Travel Advisor.
