What Arch Events does

Arch Events is a privately-held wedding and event planning firm founded in 2020 by Monica O'Connor and Allyson Horn, headquartered in New York City and serving clients across NYC, The Hamptons, and beyond. The company offers a tiered service model spanning four core offerings: Full Service Planning, Partial Planning, Month-Of Coordination, and a non-wedding event line ("Not Weddings") covering corporate functions, non-profit galas, private parties, birthdays, launch events, mitzvahs, and holiday celebrations. Founders cite a combined 20 years of wedding and event planning experience, with Allyson's background in large-scale celebrity event production (Billboard Women In Music, CFDA, International Emmy Awards) and Monica's high-end Hamptons wedding credentials.

The business operates on a professional-services revenue model with quote-based pricing — no public rates are disclosed, and the website inquiry form collects event date, guest count, and budget to generate customized proposals. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via an inbound inquiry flow, supplemented by listings on The Knot and WeddingWire, an Instagram/Facebook presence, and a portfolio gallery built around individual couple case studies. The go-to-market relies heavily on word-of-mouth referrals; multiple testimonials reference friend referrals and the founders' rapport.

Arch Events is bootstrapped, with no disclosed external investors, funding rounds, parent company, or M&A activity. Headcount is reported at 1-10, consistent with a founder-led boutique. The technology footprint is essentially nil — no app, no proprietary platform, no disclosed integrations or AI/ML capability. The firm's competitive positioning rests on founder pedigree, established NYC/Hamptons vendor relationships, an emotionally engaging service style, and culturally inclusive (LGBTQ+) practices rather than technology or scale. Customer base is overwhelmingly individual couples (SMB) with episodic corporate/non-profit work. No financial disclosures, awards, patents, partnerships, or regulatory actions are on record.
