Walking into an Ed Libby designed event; whether it be a lush wedding, an engagement reception, or a lavishly outrageous and personalized party for Kelsey Grammer or Carmelo Anthony, one is at first struck by the originality, color, grandeur, scale, and magnificence of his created interiors. Libby’s “signatures” include huge floral & crystal chandeliers dripping from the ceiling, majestic columns & fountains bearing candles & profusely surrounded by floral bouquets.

Full environmental experience and close attention to details are hallmarks of a Libby Event. The ever so subtle fragrance that wafts now and then, the texture of each seating design; velvets, silks, tablecloths decorated with hand sewn paillettes or feathers, silverware wrapped to look like art, media

screens further presenting themed images and the statues, guests slowly realize, are models, painted, bejeweled and costumed. “Every event should be a feast for the senses. I live for each detail – it must be just so. Each aspect of the design is personally governed by me” says event designer extraordinaire, Ed Libby. “Straight off next seasons fashion runway, couture approach to atmospheric event design,” and that it is.

Libby began his career in a small workspace in his home over two decades ago. He built his business on flowers, which remain an essential element of design.
