Meet Amy.

Hi everyone! My name is Amy Norton, and I have been planning events professionally for 10+ years now, but really since high school! I was always the planner of my group of friends, I even planned my own Sweet 16 and Prom gatherings, including a pink stretch limo for senior prom! I had no idea there was an amazing a career in events on the horizon..

After after high school, I attended URI where I received a BA in Public Relations with a concentration in Event Management. After graduating college, I started my career in weddings & events. I began as a banquet server and worked my way up to an entry level sales/event position. I then transferred my skills to Russell Morin Catering & Events as a Sales/Event Specialist specializing in weddings & events at private homes & unique venues throughout Southern New England. More recently I worked at the Renaissance Hotel & Hilton Garden Inn at Patriot Place, booking, detailing & coordinating all events at both hotels.

Event planning is not only a career to me, but it is truly something I love and I try to show this in every event I plan. I can’t wait to meet you & be a part of your celebration!

Fun Facts.

When I’m not planning or coordinating events, you can usually find me at the gym or spending quality time with friends & family

I try to travel as much as I can - I’ve been to about 30 states, 7 counties… and counting!

I have two four legged fur babies, I’m a cat mom

Having a background in catering has helped me to become a foodie, and being a RI native.. anything seafood is for me

Espresso martinis are the way to my heart

“Overall, we had an incredible experience planning our wedding with Amy and would highly recommend it!”
