Parties that feel epic
Planning that feels effortless

More than just a date on the calendar.

You're hosting a party because you want meaningful connection. You want your people in one place, laughing, catching up, making the kinds of memories that don't happen over text. But knowing why you want to celebrate and knowing how to pull it off are two very different things.

Live in the moment, don’t manage it.

That’s where we come in. You bring the reason (and the people) and we build the experience around it. Your celebration feels exactly the way you imagined, without you having to figure out every detail on your own.


With Rocket Science Events

  • You’re enjoying it all with your guests (in real time), not running logistics in your head.

  • Your party - birthday, anniversary, whatever you’re celebrating - exemplifies you, just turned up to eleven.

  • You get creative, original, and intentional details woven into every facet of your party, from the music and food to the vibe of the room.

  • Your ideas have been elevated into something better than you could have imagined on your own.

  • Your planning process is streamlined, thoughtful, and fun!

Celebrations rooted in creativity, hospitality, and joy.

We handle the planning, design, and logistics for your party from start to finish. With more than 20 years of experience producing standout celebrations around the world, we bring big-picture vision and hands-on knowledge to your birthday, anniversary, or any milestone worth celebrating.

We tap into our global network of vendors and trusted industry partners to bring you the perfect team curated specifically for your party. Think of us as your shortcut to an incredible celebration: we know what works, what doesn’t, and how to maximize your resources while maintaining the ‘wow’ factor. From our first conversation to the final guest out the door, we are your party partner-in-crime obsessing over all the details so you don’t have to.

Most importantly, we take the time to truly get to know you so your party feels like a reflection of who you are.

Meet Gretchen

Gretchen Culver is the creative mind behind Rocket Science Events. Named one of the “30 Under 40 to Watch” by Special Events and one of the BizBash 500 “Most Influential Event Pros,” her award-winning work has been featured in The Knot, Fortune, The New York Times, Martha Stewart Weddings, and on the Today Show.

Every party I produce is different, but my approach remains the same: consider everything, overlook nothing. I believe in blending innovative design with intentional planning, melding right brain and left brain, balancing creativity and logic. I continuously push myself and evolve my design aesthetic to provide clients with a transformative experience. I’m not just innovating for innovation’s sake; our parties are grounded in our client’s “why.”

Unforgettable for your guests and effortless for you.

When you work with Rocket Science Events, you get an experienced planner and creative visionary leading the way. The result is a party that is out-of-this-world, the kind of night where guests walk in and immediately think, “Oh, this is going to be good.” You feel confident in every decision and are excited to celebrate. In the end, you make those memories that people will talk about for years - replaying the stories, reliving the “can you believe that?” moments.

Are you ready to party?

Then we’re ready to chat! Reach out to schedule a consultation so we can learn more about your vision.

Your questions, answered.

  • All of them! We love celebrating with our clients for their birthday, anniversary, graduation, retirement or other milestone party. We produce showers, mitzvahs, friends’ trips, family reunions - any reason you think of to party we are ready to plan.

  • We purposefully limit our calendar to give our clients the best experience possible. While the actual amount of events varies per year, it is typically 8-12 based on size and scope.

  • Our clients are coming to us for the total package (we are Experience Creators after all). Because we are known for our holistic approach, we offer only one service and that is full planning, design, production, and management.

  • Our process is simple:

    1. Submit your inquiry with event details.

    2. Then we’ll schedule a consultation to learn more about your vision.

    3. Based upon our consultation, we’ll send a tailored proposal, contract, and retainer invoice.

    4. Finally, you’ll review, sign, and pay – and then we’re officially underway!

Life's too short not to celebrate.

We’d love to dream up the perfect party with you. Fill out our contact form to start the conversation.
