About this vendor
✨ About withMavens Events
Sam Arpino (she/her) founded withMavens Events after graduating from NYU with her Masters in Event Management to bridge a gap she saw in the wedding & events industry: implementing radically inclusive planning practices without sacrificing an elevated experience. Sam believes that being an event maven goes beyond logistical or creative expertise; gatherings are nothing without people, so our identities & lived experiences should be valued as expertise.
As a born & raised New Yorker, Sam has brought in repeat clients & countless referrals because she keeps it real with her clients, vendors, & planning team - always. With a previous career managing large teams, coaching executive leadership, & developing people operation & culture strategy in large non-profit organizations, Sam has perfected how to keep it real while still providing top-tier client experience. Our withMavens tag line is "Where Refined Meets Real", because that's the commitment Sam makes to everyone in her orbit.

rack, and ensured every aspect of the event went off without a hitch. Sam kept us grounded during the planning process and made it as un-stressful as possible while we were going crazy. With her hard work and guidance we were able to have an elevated event that still felt like us. After our wedding, we were happy that all the planning was over, but we were sad not to have our check-ins with Sam anymore. We truly couldn’t have done it without her and highly recommend withMavens for any event planning needs!
