Events In The City Celebrates Grand Opening in Downtown
Leesburg on Wednesday, June 27, 2012
Leesburg, VA (June 19, 2012) – At 5:00pm, on
Wednesday, June 27, 2012, Town of Leesburg
officials will hold a ribbon cutting ceremony for
the grand opening of Events in the City at 3
West Market Street in Historic Downtown
Leesburg. Leesburg Mayor Kristen C. Umstattd
will officiate.
Events In The City is a wedding and special
event coordination and design company,
founded by Laura Ritchie and Megan Pollard in
Spring 2009. In 2010, they welcomed a new
addition to the team, Christie McGuire. The
three pride themselves on being professional,
yet relating with each of their clients on a
personal level.
"We want to open the environment to live out
our motto: Innovate, Create, and Celebrate,”
said founder Megan Pollard.
With a busy year ahead, Events In The City
welcomes the new opportunities and are thrilled to have a charming studio in downtown
Leesburg.
"Every corner of the downtown is filled with inspiration. It sets the perfect tone for our clients
as they walk through the door,” said Christie McGuire, Events Designer.
Though Events In The City does the majority of their work with wedding event design and
coordination, they also produce fundraisers, birthday parties, baby showers, and bridal
showers. They help clients create events that will showcase their personalities, while minding
their budget and allowing them to be a guest at their own event.

our hospitality industry.”
