About

In 1996, Ted unknowingly began his career planning a fundraiser event for Operation Smile.
Immediately, he began learning the tricks of the trade, growing from each past coordinated
event.

Ted’s inspiration for his unique ability to present that “wow” factor, stems from his love for travelling.
He has experienced a diverse amount of culture fashion, cuisine, art, and music from all around
the world. Each and every one of these fine elements aesthetically contributes to his expertise
in his event planning.

Based in New York City, Ted has readily produced events in Aruba, The Philippines, and various cities in
the United States. He has worked with several companies including KasalNY, Dakota Events, Black Enterprise Magazine-
Primetime OmniMedia, Joonbug, Womensphere, and Filipino American Human Services. Ted
can distinctively approach any celebration at any location to each client’s needs. With his
superior work ethics and hands-on execution for every event, Ted will astonish you with that
much desired “wow” factor.

10/10 would recommend!!!

Ted was amazing. There is no way we could have had such a beautiful wedding on our farm without Ted. He helped keep us organized, sourced and managed vendors, gave us ideas based on his experience, was available for calls and texts basically 24/7 and handled everything, including stressful situations, calmly and with a smile on his face. His day of team was also incredible as well as all the vendors he recommended. We had fun planning our wedding with Ted and plan to work with Ted again on future events - big or small because he does it all!

My Dream Wedding at 63 years old

Ted was suggested to me by a friend, but I had never seen his work or really knew anything about him. What Ted delivered was far beyond what I could have ever imagined. He was very organized, kept in contact with me constantly, and set me up with the perfect vendors while making our interactions seamless at every turn. He had a vision, and made sure I was happy with every decision made for our special day. From the planning, to setting up, to his detailed team, to the ceremony, reception, and send off, Ted managed to pull off the most memorable day of my life. I would recommend Ted over and over, and I hope to use him again in the future. He’s the best!!

I honestly don’t know what I would’ve done without, Ted. Starting from the consultation, Ted truly went above and beyond to bring my husband and I’s dream wedding to life. We are super indecisive and Ted was able to help us brainstorm and create a vision for the wedding. From picking the venue to all of our vendors, Ted was only a call or text away when we had ANY questions. Ted went above and beyond during all of our milestone moments. Just to highlight a few, during my wedding dress fitting he knew I was SUPER into Harry Potter and brought me snitch donuts and champagne. Also, during the wedding weekend, Ted ensured that we had all of our needs met and gave us a one of a kind experience with all day surprises. I cannot stop singing his praises! If you want your wedding and the planning process that comes along with it to be a one of a kind experience I HIGHLY recommend, Ted Martinez Event Planning.
