About Us

About us

We are proudly Black-Owned

Hello, and thank you for visiting our site. We truly appreciate your support. I am Vanessa Outland, Owner of AfriLux Events Management, LLC. This company is near and dear to my heart as event planning and management runs true through my core. I am the last of ten children in a very large and very Liberian (West African) family. If you know anything about Africans, you know that we like to gather! I have countless childhood memories of spontaneous weekend gatherings, celebrations for baptisms, Christenings, graduations, baby showers, weddings, and the good ole, just because we wanted to get together, get-to-togethers. 

I’ve always had a passion for organizing and executing extraordinarily memorable events. For over fifteen years I’ve engaged in design and planning from birthday and graduation parties to baby showers, weddings and anniversary celebrations. Despite the unfathomable loss, lockdowns, and fear that came with the pandemic in 2020, I found a blessing in the forced downtime. I decided to pursue my passion for events management realizing that there would be a great need as things returned to normal. I completed a Master Certificate Program for Events Management driven by the notion of, “if you love something, learn everything you can about it.” The program increased my knowledge and love for this field. I became more determined to make my passion work for me and my family. 

With a push from my two wonderful children and the overwhelming support of my huge family and loved ones, AfriLux Events Management, LLC is a reality today.  At AfriLux Events, we believe that the most successful event is one that achieves our clients’ goals and exceeds their expectations. This is what we set out to accomplish with every interaction. We realize that it’s not the days we remember, but the moments. Whether you need our services for a beautiful sweet-sixteen birthday celebration, or a spectacular wedding, we guarantee our very best efforts in making all of your moments memorable, we are your partner for unforgettable events.

Baby Shower
AfriLux planned my housewarming party and helped make it a memorable event that I will never forget! I didn’t have to do anything except show up. They handled everything from the invitations, guest list, food, and décor. Thank you, AfriLux Events, and thank you, Ms. Outland!

Housewarming Party
My daughter’s 16th birthday party was amazing all because of Ms. Outland and AfriLux Events! She was very professional and paid attention to every detail. She captured the vision I wanted for my daughter’s party exceptionally well. My baby girl had an amazing time and that is a memory we will cherish for the rest of our lives. This would not have been possible without AfriLux Events. Thank you so much!

Sweet Sixteen Birthday Party
AfriLux Events planned and coordinated my Birthday Party this past February. The event was perfectly executed with a warm and cozy ambiance. Vanessa captured the essence of what I wanted but couldn’t adequately articulate. Every single activity was well thought out – from the design of my photo wall to the games we played, and down to a fire pit which we all gathered around with blankets to roast marshmallows and make s’mores. She even explained how to use the fancy marshmallow skewers to put together a perfect s’more. I appreciate how in-tune she was with my personal desires and aesthetic preferences and even the needs and limitations of my guests. I will most definitely be a return customer!

Birthday Party
I attended a sweet sixteen birthday party that was planned by AfriLux Events, and I decided I had to write a review even though it wasn’t my party. This party was so well done! My daughter and I had such a blast and the theme of pink and gold was gorgeous! I was excited to pick my wardrobe because of it! When I arrived, the décor was spectacular! I especially loved the 360-photo booth experience. The dessert table was very creative and delicious too! The DJ played a great mix of beats, and the menu was superb with a great variety for all! Overall, this event was amazingly planned and perfectly executed! I will be contracting with AfriLux Events for all my event needs!

Sweet Sixteen Birthday Party
Vanessa was an outstanding wedding coordinator. She carried out the vision for our wedding just as we asked. She managed the schedule with our vendors and went above and beyond to accommodate my bridal party’s needs.
