Chief Operations Officer

Edge Communications


I hired Charlotte to host Edge’s first exclusive cocktail party at HITEC.  From venue selection to the night of the event, Charlotte was a true pleasure to work with.  I had zero worries-- all the details were handled, exactly the way I would have handled them myself—frankly, even better!  She is passionate, smart and without a doubt knows the industry she is planning for. She is extremely flexible, stays within budget, well organized and the ultimate professional not to mention simply a fun person to be around.  Her charisma charms everyone in the room!  The event was such a success that I have booked her for every year moving forward.  I highly recommend Charlotte but don't even try to book her on my dates!"

We deliver personalized signature event experiences that engage your attendees, enable connections and encourage participation. We don't simply design events; we produce never-been-done-before shared experiences that not only make lasting memories for your guests, but also cement relationships between them and your team as well as your brand. In 25 years, we have never duplicated an experience. 


Our ultimate goal is to produce events that your attendees will remember and talk about for years to come, all while overwhelming them with executive-level service.


We speak fluent geek, designer, brainstormer, event manager, event promoter, contract negotiator and difficult client. We make the impossible possible, meeting every challenge with calm expertise and a ready solution. 

We first uncover the distinctive personality of a client's organization—working hard to understand their core values, goals, event wish lists and budget—and use these as a creative springboard. We know an outstanding event is not just getting the big things right, but also making sure the small things are well executed, too. 


We take your VIP event planning off your shoulders but never out of your hands.
