Bea, TV Production
I've been going to Farah for the last few years for our end of the season events, and she has been absolutely amazing to work with -- that's why I continue to work with her year after year! She makes sure every aspect of your event is taken care of so you can truly enjoy what you've worked so hard on and for!

Hard Rock Hotel
I can't thank you enough for the incredible work you did for our Hard Rock Hotels event. The entire night went so smoothly and was extremely successful thanks to you and your incredible team! From the beginning planning stages to the hectic last-minute details & finally day-of the event, you remained professional, accessible and willing to help to make the event exactly what I imagined. I am certain that we will work with you and 1549 Events again in the future. - Bianca Irizarry
