Greetings!
I am pleased to announce the new owner of
Charmed Places, Lydia FitzGerald. When I learned that Lydia,
whom I knew through the industry, was making the big move from
Manhattan to the Hudson Valley, I jumped at the opportunity to offer
Charmed Places to her. I knew with Lydia, that Charmed Places would
be in experienced, knowledgeable, capable and creative hands. It is
also important to me that she is able to connect with city clients,
having spent the last 15 years of her life in Manhattan. She is
simply perfect for it!
Having worked in the events industry for
several years, Lydia has grown and refined her planning skills
through hands on experience. Whether it be as a Director of Events
for the high end, boutique planning company New York Caterers &
Planners, an Event Planner for Dean & Deluca or an Independent
Event Consultant for Aviator, a state of the art 170,000 sq.
ft. sports and recreational facility in Brooklyn, Lydia's commitment
to her clients, always shines through with her meticulous approach to
planning and her ability to see the big picture. Passionate
about cultivating ideas and goals from the stages of concept to
reality is what keeps Lydia enthusiastic about the ever evolving
world of event planning.
As a personal passion Lydia believes in
the benefits of whole foods and community supported agriculture,
incorporating these beliefs into her work. She has attended and
worked with the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York City
to further her education in these areas.
Lydia is thrilled to be able to put her
experience and passions to good use as the new owner of Charmed Places!
No stranger to the Hudson Valley Lydia
spent every summer of her youth in the Catskill mountains with her
family, several of them as a camper and camp counselor enjoying
overnights at Devil's Kitchen and other camping spots, canoe trips
down the Delaware and of course tubing on the Esopus River.
Now based full-time in New Paltz. Lydia
may be contacted by phone, (O): 845-255-2475, (C): 646-479-0102 or
email: lydia@charmedplaces.com
Having spent the past six-years with
Charmed Places, I have developed so many wonderful relationships with
all of you that I am and will be eternally grateful for. I have had
THE MOST fun! Professionally, I gained a ton more experience.
I got to know every nook and cranny of the Hudson Valley more
intimately than I could have ever imagined and now I can truly enjoy
all of its splendor with my family . . . The business,
ultimately led me to my husband, which eventually led to baby and so
now I have made the decision to focus on and put all of my passion
toward my family.
Thank you dearly for your support and
comradeship throughout the years. I just know that you will
appreciate and enjoy continuing to service weddings and events with
Lydia and that Lydia will enjoy working with all of you, as much as I have.
With gratitude and best wishes,
Tammy Baldwin |
