About
Hey, I’m Tahirah Bailey Reed
Your go-to Event Planning BFF for corporate and nonprofit events.
You know that feeling when you walk into a room and instantly feel welcomed? That warm, inviting vibe that makes you want to kick off your shoes and stay awhile? That’s exactly what sparked my love for event planning and it all started at my grandmother’s kitchen table.
I have a not-so-secret obsession with turning big dreams into unforgettable events!
Where It All Began
Growing up, I watched my grandmother work her hospitality magic. Her philosophy was simple but powerful: there’s always room for more at the table, and there’s always enough to provide for everyone. No one ever had to go without. She taught me that true hospitality isn’t just about setting an extra place—it’s about creating spaces where people feel seen, heard, and valued.
Blending my project management precision with my grandmother’s gift for hospitality, I turn big ideas into seamless, mission-driven events.
From Project Manager
to Event Magic-Maker
I kicked off my career in project management, spending 10+ years turning chaos into checklists and making the complicated look like a breeze. But guess what? I couldn’t resist the sparkle of event planning! There’s just something magical about bringing people together and making big ideas come to life.
Turns out, mixing my grandmother’s “everyone’s welcome” mindset with my organizing superpowers was the ultimate recipe for event-planning magic!
Why I Do What I Do
Here’s what gets me excited to do my job every day: I love seeing organizations achieve their missions through perfectly executed events. Whether it’s raising funds to build homes for the unhoused or bringing together change-makers for a world-changing conference, every event is an opportunity to create real impact.
