Jubilee Events

What Jubilee Events does

Jubilee Events is a boutique, full-service wedding planning and event design company founded in 2007 and led by owner and creative director Diana Sullivan. The firm operates from dual bases in Connecticut and North Carolina and serves clients across the U.S. East Coast, including New England, New York, South Carolina, and Florida, with documented events ranging from intimate gatherings of 8 guests to large-scale celebrations of 422+ guests. Its offering is organized into four service tiers: Full Wedding Weekend Design/Planning/Coordination, Full-Service Design/Planning/Coordination focused on the wedding day, Full-Service Planning and Coordination for logistics and vendor management, and Milestone Celebrations for non-wedding events such as anniversaries and birthdays.

The business is service-based with no proprietary technology platform. Jubilee Events delivers planning through custom, quote-based proposals and a core team supplemented by 1-4+ contracted assistants per event depending on complexity. Its go-to-market combines direct inquiry (website contact form and email), portfolio-driven marketing (galleries, blog, Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook), and a referral network built over 16+ years with vetted vendors (Sperry Tents, PEAK Event Services, Blush Floral Design, Ryan Designs) and venues (Castle Hill Inn, Troutbeck, Stone Acres Farm, Saybrook Point Inn). The company is privately held and bootstrapped, with no disclosed funding, institutional investors, or corporate parent.
