We’re known for bridging the gap between design and logistics — turning complex plans into beautifully executed events that actually work.
At Open Aire Affairs, we specialize in full-service event planning and production that connects the creative and the practical. Our team brings organization, experience, and adaptability to every stage of the process so your event not only looks incredible but runs seamlessly from start to finish.
Planning a wedding (or any event!) involves a lot more than picking flowers and finalizing menus. It’s managing vendors, layouts, timelines, rentals, permits, and somehow keeping it all cohesive.
Because we’ve done it all—rentals, florals, venue management, custom builds—we understand every layer of what makes an event successful. That means fewer moving parts for you, seamless communication between teams, and results that go exactly as planned.
Our decades of hands-on experience mean you get a team that can anticipate challenges before they happen, manage vendors and logistics with precision, and design spaces that feel both intentional and effortless.
Your day deserves more than good intentions. It deserves experts who can keep things moving, fix problems before you see them, and still have an eye for design.
Rae is the creative force and calm in every storm. With over two decades in planning, design, and venue management, she’s seen it all (and knows how to handle it all). Her clients love her mix of artistry and efficiency: the kind of person who can sketch out a floor plan, spot a design opportunity, and troubleshoot a generator issue all in the same hour.
When your big day arrives, Annemarie is the quiet powerhouse keeping everything in sync. From setup to last dance, she ensures every detail aligns with the design plan, vendors stay on track, and couples can fully relax and enjoy their celebration.
Eleanor is the queen of timelines and good vibes. She keeps everything organized while making it all feel easy, bringing her signature mix of warmth and structure to every event. If something needs to happen, it’s probably already on her color-coded checklist.
Riley and Ryan are our team’s assistant planners, and they run every event with a level head and an eye for detail. They’re the calm in the chaos, anticipating needs before anyone even has to ask and making sure every little moment goes exactly as planned.
The full production and on-site operations team working behind the curtain. These are the people managing builds, lighting, sound, staging, tech setups, vendor coordination, timelines, and every unglamorous-but-essential detail that keeps the day running seamlessly. Together, this crew is the reason your event feels effortless. And we truly couldn’t do it without them.
You’ll meet our core three event curators the most often, but what you don’t always see?
“Tyler Gardens was the perfect setting for our Garden Wedding. My new husband and I loved all of our options. Newtown Party Rental helped us with our tent and all the rentals we needed for our pre-wedding celebrations. They had everything I could possibly want for both events. Thank You to Rae and all the amazing people at Newtown Party Rental/Open Aire Affairs!!”
Trust us, we want your crazy, wild ideas. We believe that the effectiveness of every design is in the details, and no two events ever look the same because no two stories are either.
Because even the best plans need a Plan B (and sometimes a C). Our team is built to pivot without panic, keeping your day on track no matter what curveballs come our way.
You’ll always know what’s happening, when it’s happening, and who’s handling it. Our relationships—with you, your vendors, and each other—keep everything running smoothly.
As your wedding planners, we’re all in. You’ll see it in the long hours, the careful timelines, the 6 a.m. tent checks, and the calm smiles when things get busy. Your event matters to us, and it shows.
The ones with personality, color, and ideas that don’t fit into anyone else’s template. Whether it’s a garden-turned-fairytale, a tented disco in the woods, or a completely custom build from the ground up, our team thrives on bringing big visions to life.
We live for the weddings and events that make people stop and say, “Wait… they did what?”
