Fulton Events

What Fulton Events does

Fulton Events is a Philadelphia-headquartered, full-service luxury wedding planning and design firm founded in 2015 by Caitlin Fulton Kuchemba. The firm operates with a deliberately exclusive model, accepting only a limited number of couples per year and investing more than 500 planning hours into each event. Service delivery spans three integrated modules: Planning (venue scouting, vendor selection, contract negotiation, and budget management), Design (creative direction, mood boards, tablescape mock-ups, and rental sourcing), and Production (timeline management, vendor coordination, and on-site weekend execution). Geographic coverage extends from the Philadelphia and New York City bases to mountain destinations including Hudson Valley, Catskills, and Colorado. The client base consists of discerning high-net-worth couples seeking premium, curated weddings, acquired through portfolio showcasing, press features, word-of-mouth referrals, and a direct website inquiry channel.

The business operates as a direct-to-consumer, privately held, woman-owned firm with a small core team (three named principals including founder Caitlin Fulton Kuchemba, partner Kellie Strain, and event producer Kate Michener). Revenue derives from two streams: full-service wedding planning engagements priced at undisclosed premium rates, and a growing industry education arm comprising one-on-one consulting, monthly packages, speaking engagements, The Planner's Collective workshop, and the annual ELEVATE luxury wedding summit co-hosted with PartySlate and Constellation Culinary. The firm carries no institutional investors, has not raised external capital, and operates without disclosed subsidiaries or parent entities. Competitive positioning rests on accumulated brand recognition (New York Times feature, Best of Philly, 'One to Watch' designation), depth of vendor relationships across premier East Coast venues, and the founders' complementary creative and operational expertise.
