We are often asked what we do differently than our colleagues in the field of event management. Though there are many possible answers, one in particular springs to mind: we innovate. We aren’t content to simply re-create past events that delighted clients. Rather, we design events tailored to achieve and execute each unique client’s unique […]
One of the many happy March rituals we enjoy in Cambridge, where I live, is the return of the crew shells to the Charles River when the winter ice has finally melted. A morning run along the river is so much better when it includes flashes of those sleek shells gliding by on their way […]

At FM&A Events we are very aware of local rituals and special occasions and love to celebrate them. As Capistrano has its swallows, Cambridge has its crew shells that return to the Charles River every February, signaling that Spring won’t be far behind.
