How we work

"If you are looking for a planner in the New York City Tri-State area, then your search stops here. "

Ebony and EbonyCattouse Events planned our honeymoon experience and a memorable one it was. From the moment we landed at the airport in beautiful Belize until we later departed, she had our itinerary filled with so many memorable experiences. Snorkeling, ATV’s and Mayan Ruins and so much more. She is not just an event planner but indeed a certified travel specialist. She has since planned all our group trips throughout the Caribbean. She is very knowledgeable about the culture and all.

"Our entire vacation truly turned out the way we wanted was incredible"

As we were planning a destination family reunion, my biggest concern was my family members being stressed/overwhelmed. Ebony was able to provide so much guidance, insight and recommendations which alleviated any stress for my family and ultimately my concerns. She booked all our flights, accommodation, tours and more… Her attention to detail and determination to ensure that our entire vacation truly turned out the way we wanted was incredible. She is amazing and special and will hold a place in our hearts forever.

"No details were left untouched"

Ebony and her staff stayed the entire night to make sure that all aspects of the GALA were handled perfectly and they were. No details were left untouched. I highly recommend Ebony to any future event. With her expertise in event planning and production, all details will be addressed with utmost professionalism. I’m very happy to have known Ebony and look forward to working with her again.
