Our Story

Don’t waste good taste! There’s nothing happier than looking forward to an event, but it can be tough to face the aftermath. You spend countless days and dollars sourcing gorgeous decorations, and then they are abandoned after only a few hours of use. This is where After My Event comes in. 

We’re an online marketplace for buying and reselling event goods in your local community. Our platform enables any host to create a luxurious celebration, affordably and sustainably. If you’re a seller, your finery can be repurposed quickly and easily. If you’re a buyer, you can find discounted event decor with a click. 

After our dream Napa wedding, I struggled to find an event-specific commerce site — and I really needed one. I spent endless hours searching for decor at antique fairs and on websites.  I invested in everything from flip flops to parasols, and none of it ever saw the sun again. I soon became a mother and active volunteer, hosting school fundraisers, baby showers, you name it. You can imagine the items stacked up in our attic. 

Not any more. After My Event serves the Bay Area, with plans to expand, and we’re on a mission to make it easy for all of us to buy and sell special, elegant decor with fellow hosts, without waste. We believe you can love parties and the planet. 

Cheers to your next fabulous event!
