About Us
Events By Maryam is a luxury event decoration company based in Columbus, Ohio, specializing in culturally rich celebrations that reflect the beauty and traditions of our diverse community.
From stunning Pakistani and Somali weddings to elegant engagement parties, baby showers, and corporate galas, we transform ordinary venues into extraordinary experiences. Every event we design is a reflection of your story, your culture, and your vision.
"We don't just decorate spaces — we create the backdrop for your most cherished memories."
What Makes Us Different
Cultural expertise. We understand the traditions, customs, and aesthetic sensibilities of South Asian, East African, Middle Eastern, and Nepali celebrations — because we come from these communities.
Full-service design. From concept to cleanup, our team handles everything so you can be fully present for your event.
Personalized attention. No two events are the same. We design from scratch for each client, ensuring your celebration is uniquely yours.
Regional reach. We proudly serve all of Ohio and Michigan, working with venues of every size and style.
