The Story
About
Originally Crafted Events, LLC (OCE) was founded to offer something truly different in how people experience events and shows. We believe in the power of collaboration—partnering with businesses, artists, and individuals to create unforgettable experiences while showcasing their talents and what they have to offer.
Founded in February 2020 and based in Massachusetts, OCE began by producing unique local events in the craft beverage industry, working with breweries such as Jack’s Abby, Springdale Beer Co, Bent Water Brewing Co, True North Ales, Remnant Brewing, and many others. When the Covid-19 pandemic hit, like many businesses, we adapted—and in doing so, discovered a whole new path.
During the pandemic, founder and CEO Valerie Bruno stepped into the fashion industry, sparking a fresh passion for both herself and OCE. From signing with a local modeling agency, to appearing on a Times Square billboard, to walking the runway at Miami Swim Week and New York Fashion Week, Valerie transformed her love for fashion and her business expertise into a new kind of fashion experience. By building skills, expanding networks, and forming creative collaborations, she has brought innovative, high-energy fashion events to life.
But OCE’s creativity doesn’t stop at fashion and entertainment. We also specialize in planning and executing personal celebrations that are as unique as the people behind them. From weddings and anniversaries to retirements and birthday parties, we bring visions to life with style, care, and packages to fit every budget—making your special moments truly unforgettable.
