Organized, stress free events

I worked with girls from Baos events a couple of times.
First of all I want to mention professionalism - starting from communication and ending with the execution of the events. I knew everything about the project before physically get there - the idea, the theme, and the execution. So I was prepared and ready to photograph. At the same time, girls are easy-going people. It's very important for me as stress from the organizers reflects my work as well. I also love the style and attention to details. It was such a pleasure to photograph the events. Here a couple of examples of Intimate Social Event, Covid friendly.

Incredible wedding experience

I planned the wedding with BAOS Events. Since the first email response to the last phone call they have shown a high level of professionalism and originality. The service was impeccable and reliable. I was able to trust them with every detail of my wedding. Due to BAOS Events' variety of entertainments, my wedding day was discribed by my guests as one of the most vivid night they have attended. Thank you Ardita & Oneda for the best night of my life.

Our special wedding day

We used BAOS Event Planning & Design for our wedding! Oneda and Ardita were amazing!
From my first phone call to them and to the last one they were there for me and made my dream come true! Oneda told me to leave all the design details to her and she took care of everything! Our wedding was beautiful! In the other hand, Ardita took care of all the planning, logistics and last minute details and helped us have the most unforgettable night!
We were able to focus on enjoying our day and as we knew everything was taken care of!
I will recommend them to all of my friends for their weddings and events!
Thank you BAOS Events!

I had the pleasure working with the amazing talented women Ardita and Oneda from BAOS Events. I threw a birthday party and was recommended to use BAOS Events, if I wanted to have a unique over the top birthday! The ladies creativity, work ethics, managing, and communication was honestly one of the best services I've ever had for planning an event. I highly recommend these hard working ladies for your next future event because I will definitely use them for upcoming events!

Creative, affordable, beautiful!!

AMAZING! I decided to throw a surprise bridal shower for my friend a bit last minute and contacted BAOS Events to help with the planning. They were fantastic! I gave them the guest list and some broad ideas for theme decoration a short time prior and the girls did a BEAUTIFUL job. They were very patient, thorough and incredibly creative. Everything came together seamlessly. Super impressed and will definitely contact them again for future events.

LaPiat SickKids fundraiser

LaPiat- The LaPiat team had the great pleasure to work with such talented and passionate souls. BAOS Events made the impossible possible. They helped us plan, coordinate and set up the venue for LaPiat's fundraising event in support of the SickKids Tech Foundation at Kitchen24. This event consisted a COOK-A-THON of our two Celebrity Chefs, Chef Jordan from CNE's Tokyo Hot Fried Chicken and Master Chef finalist Jennifer Baglione. BAOS Event and their experience made this an unforgettable event for everyone that attended. They turned the space into a beautiful engaging spot, where every guest was having a great time. Thank you for being part of this fundraiser event and help support a great cause such as SickKids Tech foundation. Looking forward working with you again in the future.

I rely on my natural intuition and emotional intelligence to better understand the physical and psychological needs of my clients so I can help them create their dream event. I combine the love for creativity and beauty with my background in law and over 10 years of experience in event planning, client service management, sales, and marketing to effectively make decisions, problem solves, research and meet strict deadlines.

I am multilingual, which helps living in a multicultural city, where every event deserves its own level of cultural attention and I am able to do this by connecting with the clients no matter their background! I speak English, Italian, Spanish, French and Albanian. I have a strong work ethic, exceptional planning, and management skills! My goal is to create an authentic experience for my clients in their most imporant moments that stays with them long after the event ends.

Oneda  Sotiri
Oneda Sotiri
Co-Founder | Creative Director

I represent the creative vision behind BAOS Event Planning & Design. I have a flair for being able to see the end result of an event and use my vision to transform any space into a beautiful Utopia.

The love for Visual Arts landed me a prestige position of a Creative Director for an well-known International Photography Studio in Greece.This helped me to incorporate editorial and luxury elements into each event I design.

I have an extensive background in Architectural Technology and Design, as well as Management. This combined with personal experiencies, ensure me to deliver a superior design product based on the client’s needs and wants, so they can see their Dream Event manifest before their eyes!

I am passionate about painting, designing, travelling, DJing, photography, as well as make-up! I find inspiration in High Fashion and Architecture. I love to deliver a “one-of-a-kind” experience for my clients. I am tri-lingual and have lived in different countries in Europe. This helps me have a global perspective and understanding of different cultures and lifestyles, enabling me to fully connect with my clients and translate that into the design. My goal is to create unique and bold events, where clients and their guests create unforgettable memories that last a lifetime!
