Event planning is both an art and a skill. For many, coordinating and preparing for any occasion – from baby showers to graduations to weddings – can be stress-inducing and riddled with nerves. What am I missing? Do I need to order more flowers? Is there enough food? The questions seem endless.
It can be overwhelming to know where to begin in planning an event, let alone the logistics that go into it. For those in the Rochester area, Miranda Quartaro Events & Coordination is the premier business to help ensure an event runs smoothly from start to finish, all but erasing those dreaded moments of panic and disarray.
Miranda Quartaro, the business’ eponymous founder, has been involved in the world of event planning since she was 19 years old. She began serving and bartending at a variety of private events and gained experience quickly, moving into weddings and private in-home events. Now a leader in the Rochester and Finger Lakes region for wedding planning, Miranda is already booking out into 2026.
Unsurprisingly, Miranda is known for her organization and attention to detail, which come in handy as she plans more than a dozen events at any given time. But make no mistake – she caters to the wants, wishes, and needs of each and every client to ensure the final project gets an A+.
Over the past three years, Miranda has coordinated weddings in a variety of venues in Rochester, including notables such as Arbor Midtown, Harro East Ballroom, Kin Event Space, Strathallan Hotel, Woodcliff, Casa Larga, and the Jack Rabbit, accounting for a range of sizes, from 70 to 300 people. MQ Events offers a variety of planning packages to meet the needs of every client.
For the DIY couple who have planned their wedding in great detail but are looking for professional assistance to help with the delivery of their special day, MQ Events offers a Wedding Day Management package to do just that. With a light but helpful touch, this package ensures the special day runs smoothly and hiccup-free.
For those looking for a hands-on approach while still coordinating/planning a fair amount of the wedding independently, the Partial Planning package is a highly versatile option. Need help with finding a venue but still want to personalize the space? This package is for you. With a focus on matching each couple’s needs, it offers a streamlined planning process that guarantees a wedding that surpasses your expectations and hopes.
The Luxe Full-Service Planning package, as the name suggests, is the package created for those who want a full-service, expert-driven experience in their wedding planning process. Highlights include a personalized consultation, venue selection, vendor coordination, budget management, timeline creation, and theme development. This package fully removes stress or worry in the planning process – MQ Events covers every detail and ensures the couple’s special day is full of memories to cherish forever.
In addition to these packages, MQ Events has the option of a custom package, building off the clients’ needs and budget. MQ Events also has an inventory of rental décor available to all clients. From plates to candlesticks and table numbers to easels, take added pressure off the table with the rental package.
Miranda has received incredible feedback and heartfelt testimonials since starting MQ Events. Recently, a local bride recalled,
“[Miranda] took the time to listen attentively to my ideas and preferences, translating them into reality with creativity and finesse. Her ability to strike the perfect balance between honoring my vision and offering invaluable guidance and suggestions was truly remarkable.”
Miranda and her team at MQ Events have mastered wedding planning – their reputation in the community is simply glowing. In her eyes, the beauty of it all comes from the trust built and cared for with each client. “I love the relationships [we] build with the clients throughout the process,” she reflects. “[We work] with them for a long period of time, and by the end, they feel like your friends at the wedding.”
Tools and Tips for Perfection
When it comes to choosing the venue for your special day, there are many factors to consider. Miranda, who always says the venue “homes the event,” believes it is essential to do in-depth research of each space. “It’s really important to find out exactly what you are getting and what you might need to add. [It] makes or breaks an event,” she advises.
Miranda suggests that when it comes to your wedding, remember it’s all about you! “It’s about you and your person. It’s your day. Don’t let others’ opinions affect that.” Working with MQ Events will help each couple stay on track for what they really want for their dream wedding.
Weddings can and should look very different from one another. For some, a large venue with black-tie attire and 300 guests is the dream. For others, a small dinner party with only the closest of loved ones feels right. MQ Events will help each client determine what the perfect wedding looks like from their perspective.
Women-Owned, Women-Led
Growing up in Geneva, Miranda shares that it had always been a goal of hers to start a business. Now, with MQ Events fully in bloom, she only looks forward. She has hired two coordinators so far and will continue to grow the team, aiming to create a positive, uplifting work culture that helps other women feel confident in the professional setting. Eventually, she would love to offer mentorships to encourage young people to explore the business world.
Miranda credits her parents as huge inspirations for her as a businesswoman. Growing up, she looked up to them tremendously and is grateful for their support and help as she grows her business.
Above all, her passion, commitment, and dedication to each client that chooses MQ Events are paramount. Miranda and her team are eager to work with you. From weddings to work events to graduation parties, MQ Events can and will take the pressure of planning out of your hands.
