Meet our Velvet Hammer:

Adrienne began her career at 16, acting as Co-Chair to plan 3-day, 200pax wellness retreats. An attendee asked if she planned events for a living, to which she replied, “I can do this for a living?!” Soon after, she applied for colleges and obtained her degree in Hospitality Management and Tourism. She has obtained additional certifications including her CMP.

Adrienne has planned programs and conventions nationwide for nearly two decades. She leads full-scope event planning and execution and has successfully completed over 1,000 projects across the country, including San Francisco, Napa, Half Moon Bay, Los Angeles, San Diego, Las Vegas, Scottsdale, Park City, Salt Lake City, Denver, New Orleans, Chicago, Nashville, Boston, Atlanta, and Cape Neddick.

Known as “The Velvet Hammer,” Adrienne brings grace and diligence to every production, delivering exceptional experiences for clients and partners alike. She’s been described as “the best I’ve ever worked with,” “absolutely wonderful,” “always a step ahead,” and “five stars personified.”
