Hi, I'm Cheyenne

Founder of Simply Elegant Events. New York-based event strategist. MWBE-certified entrepreneur. And someone who genuinely believes that a well-executed event can change how people feel about an organization forever.

I started Simply Elegant Events because I saw a gap — between event planners who focused on logistics and organizations that needed so much more than that. They needed someone who understood the ‘why’ behind the event, not just the ‘what.’ Over the years I’ve had the privilege of partnering with brands like Peloton on their community and social impact initiatives, planning corporate experiences that connect companies to the people they serve, and helping nonprofits tell their story through unforgettable events. My approach is rooted in three things: intention, precision, and heart. I developed the Triple I Framework — Ideation, Implementation, and Impact — because I believe every great event starts with a clear vision, is built on flawless execution, and should leave the people who attended genuinely changed.


Simply Elegant Events is proudly MWBE certified with New York State and New York City — a recognition of the work, the mission, and the community this business was built to serve.

What We Do, Why We Do It & What We Hope to Achieve

WHAT WE DO

Simply Elegant Events plans and executes community-centered experiences for corporations, government agencies, and nonprofits. We specialize in events that bring people together with purpose — employee engagement activations, corporate community programs, government events, and nonprofit galas. Every event is guided by our Triple I Framework: Ideation, Implementation, and Impact.

WHY WE DO IT

Because events have the power to change how people feel about an organization. Most planners focus on logistics without thinking about the meaning. We believe a well-executed community experience isn’t just a nice moment — it builds loyalty, trust, and real connection between organizations and the people they serve.

WHAT WE HOPE TO ACHIEVE

To become the go-to boutique event partner for purpose-driven organizations in New York — the first call companies, agencies, and nonprofits make when they want an event that actually means something. Every client is a long-term relationship, not a transaction.
