SOCIAL event planning in boston

Some moments only happen once. Let's make sure they are celebrated accordingly.

LET'S PLAN YOUR CELEBRATION

Your People Deserve More Than a Party Store Banner and a Rented Tent.

We built our reputation on weddings, but the truth is — we've always loved a good party. Milestone birthdays, graduation celebrations, baby showers, anniversary dinners — these moments matter just as much, and they deserve the same level of attention we bring to every event we touch.

At Contagious Events, everything is custom. We don't have a Social Event Package #3 to slot you into. We sit down with you, figure out what this moment means, and build something that actually reflects the person you're celebrating.

We're based in Boston and work throughout the New England area. From lobster bakes on the Cape to bonfires in the backwoods of Maine, we're ready to plan any kind of gathering that brings your people together.

GET IN TOUCH
There are not enough words to thank Joe, Gail, and the entire Contagious team for everything they did to make my party amazing! I graduated from residency and threw a big party at The State Room in Boston - finding Joe and his team was a lifesaver! The Contagious team is creative, hardworking, and just downright fun!! Joe has such a gift for seeing an event space, hearing about a vision, and multiplying it by a million to make is truly special and unique. I am still not over the disco ball wall seating chart!! (see photo below!) Gail was with us on the day of the event and she made everything seamless and stress free. She is a true professional and her positivity radiates in a room!! We were so lucky to work with the Contagious team and would recommend Joe, Gail, and the Contagious Events group to anyone looking to have an elevated, fun, creative, and show stopping event that you and your guests will never forget!! Thank you all!!!!

How We Make It Happen

Share the Details

Who are we celebrating, and what does the moment mean? That's where we start. The earlier you reach out, the more we can do — but we'll work with your timeline.

Design + Vision

We build the look, feel, and flow of your event around the person of honor. Venue, catering, décor, entertainment, florals — everything is sourced and styled for you specifically.

Vendor Coordination

We handle all the moving parts. You won't be wrangling caterers or chasing down the florist. That's our job.

Enjoy the Party

Your only job on the day is to celebrate. We'll be there making sure everything runs perfectly so you can be present for the moments that matter.
