why hello there!
I'm Halley, the owner and lead planner of Baldwin and Rose: Event Enthusiasts. Whether you just need advice or ideas for an upcoming gathering or you want someone to take over the whole thing, I'm here. I'm your partner in all things event-related, shaping your random sticky notes and hundreds of open tabs into a vision, and turning that vision into a reality. And I do that with my full authentic self which I might describe as fun, laid-back, and the right amount of socially awkward.
a little more about me
I've been organizing/planning/assisting with events as a side hustle for the majority of my life. When my mother moved out of my childhood home, I was tasked with organizing a farewell gathering and settled on "black tie, bare feet" for the theme. I had so. much. fun. And I knew I had to make events a part of my life.
​
As my friends started to get married, I found myself helping in any way I could (directing vendors, fixing flower arrangements, gathering family for photos, etc.). Before long I was offering my services to people I barely knew, just as part of a conversation when anyone mentioned they were getting married.
​
After several successful day-of wedding coordinator gigs that ended with smiles and compliments from both clients and vendors, I made the leap to make this more official. So here we are!
​
More of the basic info: I'm originally from the Adirondacks in upstate New York, growing up in the hamlet of Ironville. I went to school at American University, where I met my now wife. We lived in DC for a few years before quitting our jobs at the best possible time (2010) and embarking on a 48 state road trip. We landed in western Massachusetts, where we reside with our cat, Casanova.
