After years of planning events for individuals and non-profit organizations, I decided to launch my own event planning business. The word Zuri is derived from the Swahili language. When translated it means Beautiful. I felt like it was the perfect name for my company because whether it's a birthday party, wedding, fashion show,or product promotions event the result is simply beautiful. The beauty is just not in the tangible things such as the decor. It is also present in the way the client and the patrons feel when they enter the event as well as the lasting impression.
