I Work With You To Bring Your Vision to Life, Stress Free.
My clients come to me because they are looking for an experienced event planner with great people skills who can help them easily navigate the various tasks related to delivering a successful event.
I work independently and with other event professionals. Together we are that extra temporary resource who are there to take on some of the “to do” list that comes with delivering an event to your audience, virtually or in person. Especially during this pandemic we think of and plan for the things that are unique to working in a virtual space.

“I’ve had the honor to work with Kisha Zullo and Events of Joy team, in different capacities, for over 15 years. I initially met Kisha in 2005 when I was leading the marketing and events team for a national nonprofit in Hartford. We were searching for a venue to hold our largest fundraising event. Kisha and I met as she was the lead event planner for the potential venue. As she was providing the tour for the space, I immediately knew we were in good hands and should move forward with Kisha. From the first day, Kisha has always executed a high level of professionalism, passion and attention to detail that leads to amazing results. Fast forward many years later, Kisha launches Events of Joy. I hired her and her team to help lead a major fundraising event I was managing for Manchester Community College in Connecticut. We were rethinking the event and event strategy, especially how we can raise more funds to support student scholarships. Kisha and her team did a phenomenal job listening to the needs, providing guidance and executing the vision which resulted in the highest gross fundraising event for the college. I will always think of Kisha and Events of Joy for executing top-notched events. She is absolutely the best in the field.” – Endia DeCordova.
