Twa fanm · Three women

Caribbean soul.
Atelier discipline.

BTV Event Planning was founded by three Haitian women who believe a celebration should feel like the people it honors — warm, exacting, and unforgettable.

We bring diaspora fluency and luxury restraint to every brief: the flowers, the music, the timing, the quiet details guests never name but always remember.
