About Us

I've had the pleasure of working with Julie on events of all kinds. On a professional level, Julie planned landmark events for Good Shepherd Food Bank for nearly a decade. From transforming a distribution center into a beautiful dining room to planning a groundbreaking and grand opening ceremony events for a new facility, Julie's keen eye for detail and can-do attitude made memorable experiences for guests and hosts alike. Julie comes up with unique and creative solutions to unique event planning challenges and manages vendors to execute her vision. It's no surprise that when I needed help planning the hardest event of my life--my husband's celebration of life--I turned to Julie. Within a matter of days she had all of the details organized (during a pandemic, no less) and had rallied a team of people and resources to help--she had everything taken care of so I could focus on my kids and myself. Big, small, corporate or personal, wedding and event planning--Julie can do it all!

 Julie is phenomenal in every way. She has managed every last detail of our annual conference for the last several years. She is the epitome of calm under pressure, completely organized, responsive, and flexible, and so good at building good relationships with everyone involved - from vendors, speakers, venues, and participants, to those organizing the event. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

 Julie helped our organization pull off a weekend of events--with challenges ranging from creative VIP lodging arrangements to shuttle buses on back roads to creating a speaking program including state, federal, and tribal dignitaries. During and after our events, we heard from our partners and donors numerous times that it felt like "we do this type of event every weekend." We certainly don't - and I attribute the seamless and elegant result to Julie's deft management and hard work.

 we would give Julie 10 stars, but Google only lets us give 5. Julie was literally our rock on our special day. We truly can’t express how much all of her help and guidance was appreciated. She read our minds and knew what we needed/wanted when we didn’t even know what we needed. For example, she had snacks and water for us during our pictures to make sure we were fed and able to enjoy the whole evening. She coordinated the vendors so we didn’t have to worry about anything. She made sure our first look was perfect, giving advice and making sure we were where we needed to be. She did such an amazing job and we cannot thank her enough for everything she did for us to make that day so amazing for us!

 I have had the opportunity to with with Julie in a professional and personal capacity. Not only can she execute and nail the many details of a corporate event, she does it with incredible calm & warmth. This is exactly why I reached out to have her help with my wedding. Her communication was impeccable. She calmed my nerves, reassured some tough choices I had to make, and created a welcoming & relaxed environment for our rehearsal. She was the last person I talked to before I walked down the aisle and I am so grateful for her. I could not recommend Julie more!

 I've worked in the non-profit sector for over 30 years and organized dozens of events. This is the first year I partnered with an event planner. I emphasis the word partnered. I was hesitant to hire an event planner because it felt like one more thing I'd have to manage. However, after interviewing Julie I recognized she knew the assignment at hand - to be my partner and work WITH me.

Julie was genuinely invested in our success and took time to understand our organizations mission and vision. She is highly organized, an attentive listener, and has a calming presence.

Our organization exceeded our event fundraising goal and I attribute this success to working with Maine Premier Event Planning. Our staff was able to focus on our guests and build relationships and leave the event details to the event planning professionals.

We look forward to working with Maine Premier Event Planning Company again.
