Sydney Wurst

Freelance Event Planner

Tourism / Travel / Hospitality

New York City, New York

Services offered

I'm Sydney Wurst, a lifelong New Yorker with a deep-rooted passion for event planning. I currently run my own business, Moments by Sydney Rose, while serving as a freelance event planner.

My philosophy is simple: life is too short not to celebrate every milestone. I believe in the power of hospitality to make people feel cherished, welcomed, and present during life’s best moments. It’s my goal to be the eyes and ears of every event I plan, and to anticipate every need a client could have. This ensures that my clients can relax and enjoy every moment of their special day, knowing that they're in capable creative hands.

Approximate rate: USD$ 50 per hour

Experience

My career in event planning began with creating and hosting fundraising events. First, leading an annual pancake brunch to raise money for Parkinson’s Research, and then leading a 24-hour dance marathon to raise money for Duke Children’s Hospital.  

As a Child Life Specialist, from 2020- 2023, I had the privilege of planning special events for children in a hospital.  Bringing joy and comfort to those going through a challenging time is a job I undertook with great attention to detail, empathy, and love. 

In August of 2023, I transitioned to being a full time event planner. I worked part-time as a freelancer for two successful event planners in New York City and Long Island, while simultaneously starting my own business due to client interest. I have successfully planned and coordinated almost 40 in the last year, and am eager to see what next year has in store! 

Education

I received my undergraduate degree from Elon University, majoring in Human Service Studies and Psychology.
