About

As is every star in the sky, each and every wedding is a unique and precious event.


Let's start with you. Because all of our work focuses on that. How did you both meet? When did you know that person was YOUR person? What are the details that tell your story? And, of course - How do you ensure you have hired the BEST team to plan and design, as well as execute, all of the many logistics with an experienced and kind hand?

Start by meeting with an industry professional who only works with professionals. Someone that will value your day as the unique event that it is, and that will make the best decisions for you - your advocate, without question. Hire a team that will produce magical moments, and that understands how to create "Fabulous", "Amazing", and "Spectacular", all for you.

Trish Star Events is lead by Trish Simitakos, named among the TOP 25 most influential planners in a leading industry publication. She is a national speaker (recently featured at CaterSource Las Vegas), and industry insider, serving on national event association boards. She has worked with high profile clients such as Gloria and Emilio Estefan, Stevie Wonder, David Bowie, John Fellows Akers and Kenneth Chenault, as well notable Washingtonians that cannot be listed in a public format. Our office is located in downtown Washington, DC, but we do love to travel.

We cannot wait to meet you!

Amazing planner!

Trish helped make our wedding as stress free as possible. Trish is an amazing problem solver and was always happy to jump on a call and talk through ideas or issues during the planning process. Trish did so much behind the scenes coordination that even having two bands was completely seamless to us and our guests. Trish worked hard to shield us from any day of hassles and even helped some not typically punctual VIP guests arrived on time. Would hire her again in a heartbeat!

Professional and fun!

Words cannot begin to express how thankful I am for all of the hard work Trish and her team put into our wedding. From the first call (on the phone), to the final call (with our guests at the bar), I enjoyed the process so much that I want to run out and start all over again! She took all of our ideas and expanded on them to form just a wonderful masterpiece! (IMO) I would recommend any couple to her in a heartbeat.

There should be six stars

Working with Trish was a joy from the word go! We had such a connection with her, not only is Trish detail oriented enough to satisfy my type A personality, she has a wonderful creative eye. Just the right combination, and a true professional. Her attention to detail was everything I could have wanted, and her kindness and passion for what she does is the bonus. Everyone commented how great the wedding was and that they had a wonderful time, and the memories will last a lifetime. I think that is what Trish does best, creating memories that last.
