Thank you for being here! I have a passion for bringing people together and supporting small businesses. At Home Town Events, I blend the two. Collaboration is at the core of what I do to help you plan a stress-free wedding or event while supporting our beloved community. I have over 12 years of event planning experience, I'm a serial planner, and I find myself looking at my calendars for fun. I l

ove helping people celebrate special moments in their lives and in the lives of their businesses. I'd be honored to handle all of the details of your event so you can simply celebrate. I have always called Hamilton, New York home. I married my high school sweetheart and together we have one kiddo. I attended college and graduate school in Western New York, where I discovered my love for both event planning and the Buffalo Bills.

I started Home Town Events because I love the cozy, welcoming feeling of gathering with friends and family right where you are. Whether it’s a backyard wedding, a local fundraiser, or a community event, that feeling hasn’t changed 💛.

Q: “How early should I start planning a backyard wedding or event?”

A: Ideally 12–18 months if you need rentals like tents, restrooms, or a caterer. But if you’re going smaller, you can absolutely pull off something beautiful in just a few months ✨.

The key? Prioritize what matters most to you, and start there.

☀️ Backyard weddings are beautiful, but here’s the truth: the #1 thing couples forget is a rain plan 🌧️. Even the sunniest forecast can shift, and having a tent or covered option is the best peace of mind.

✨ My pro tip: book your tent early! Make sure it’s big enough for your guests + dance floor.

The Beardslee Homestead is on the National Register of Historic Places and today, the Greco family continues the legacy with their farm, vineyard, pizzeria, hop house, and Italian agritourism wedding venue 🤍
