Alexandra Partow: A Vision Behind Every Event

Alexandra Partow founded her namesake planning studio in 2014 with a deeply held belief: every event should tell a story. Drawing on her experience at institutions like MoMA in New York and LACMA in Los Angeles, she brings a level of visual intelligence and refined artistry that few planners can match. Operating from offices in New York City and Los Angeles, her firm guides every celebration—whether an intimate bar or bat mitzvah, a nonprofit gala with hundreds, or a destination wedding—through a cohesive, narrative-led lens.

Aesthetic That Speaks of Personal Storytelling

Partow’s events feel tailored, never templated. Her aesthetic is quiet luxury—a seamless blend of editorial polish and emotional clarity. Whether it’s a ceremony beneath string lights in the Hamptons or a refined corporate event in Manhattan, she weaves personal touches into every decision—from layout and pacing to bespoke décor moments or lighting installations. She’s earned “Best of Brooklyn” recognition six years running, a mark of her consistent refinement and client satisfaction.

Clientele & Press: A Reflection of Trust and Respect

Her client base spans socially engaged couples and institutions seeking thoughtful execution. While specific high-profile names aren’t published openly, her work is regularly featured in The New York Times, PartySlate, Martha Stewart Weddings, AllSeated, and other respected outlets. Those who’ve booked her praise her responsive communication, eye for color and flow, and generosity of spirit—particularly for weddings at venues like Brooklyn Botanic Garden or Hudson Valley estates.

What Sets Her Apart

At the heart of Alexandra’s approach is the belief that true luxury is about ease. Logistics run like clockwork—not visible, but felt. Guests notice what’s free from friction, energy that never lags, coat checks that never back up. It’s polished execution grounded in a feeling of hospitality and presence. Her team’s collective experience—over 40 years combined—allows them to orchestrate large and small events with equal care.

The Invisible Architecture of an Event That Feels Real

Some events surprise with artful flourishes: luminous installations at dusk, unexpected programming moments, immersive décor tied to a family’s history. None of it ever feels performative. Everything feels earned because Alexandra designs each detail as a conversation with the host and their guests. That’s what makes the experience linger—not just the night, but the feeling that unfolds afterward.
