about ELIZABETH
~
I first learned about the mysteries and wonders of entertaining from my mother. My parents frequently entertained in our home, and some of my most vivid childhood memories are of helping my mother host fabulous dinner parties. Her enthusiasm for planning delicious, gourmet meals and providing her guests with gracious, Southern-style hospitality was contagious.
I have been planning events professionally for 20 years. The foundation of my experience was built during my career managing global media and advocacy campaigns for leading biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies around the world.
In 2004, I followed my heart and forged a new path as an event planner. I spent five years working and learning the business with some of Washington DC’s premier event providers. In 2010, I founded Elizabeth Duncan Events to share my unique approach for producing authentic and creative events for a diversity of social and corporate clients.
I grew up in the Annapolis area, where I attended the Severn School. I graduated from Wake Forest University with a B.A. in Psychology. I currently live in downtown Washington, DC with my two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels.
When I’m not producing events for my amazing clients, I’m usually traveling the world, learning French, studying wine, cooking a gourmet feast, eating at the best restaurants, or tending my kitchen garden.
