Who is Jacquelyne Edith: The little lady with the big plans!

1. I am a military veteran. I served six years Active Duty in the United States Air Force and it was during that time that I developed such a strong passion for event coordination. I gained a significant amount of experience coordinating retirement parties, farewells, holiday parties, baby showers and many other events. While serving a six month tour in Afghanistan I had the opportunity to assist in operating the base United Services Organization (USO) morale center. It was there that I learned how to successfully coordinate, budget, and execute large scale events.

2. As of January 2014, I am a licensed and registered Event Planner. My mission is to bring classy and cultured, social events to the Hampton Roads night life. These events include but are not limited to speed dating, open mic, karaoke, and themed large scale events. My company also provides coordination for private social events to include weddings, themed birthday parties for children and adults, baby showers, bridal showers, graduation parties, as well as corporate events and fundraisers! Lastly, we help restaurants increase their clientele through special events. As a full service Event Planner I provide a full range of consultation and coordination services.

3. I am a community volunteer. I volunteer at two of the Boys and Girls Clubs in downtown Newport News on a weekly basis. While there, I help with homework, teach arts and crafts, and assist with the coordination of club events. My company also coordinates monthly group birthday parties for Boys and Girls Club members age 6-10, free of charge as a way of giving back. But I need your help in continuing to provide this service! Spread the word about Jacquelyne Edith Events, purchase tickets to attend events, and next time you need an event coordinated just give me a shout!

4. Lastly, I am a conservationist. It is my greatest desire to preserve this Earth and its resources for later generations who will inherit it. I am an avid recycler and up-cycler, and through my business I hope to inspire others to recycle and up-cycle as well. Ask about Jacquelyne Edith Events, LLC's Green Events!
