Welcome
Eutopia Events is a Massachusetts-based event planning
company started by two friends with a flair for art and design
and a passion for throwing amazing parties. We give you peace
of mind, making sure your event is executed flawlessly.
While designing, coordinating, styling, and art-directing photo
shoots for a national, award-winning parenting magazine by
Disney Publishing, Ruthie McDonald and Lauren Mace earned
reputations as two of New England’s most creative and committed
planning professionals. One spring, Ruthie and Lauren ventured
out on their own, combining their collective talents into what
is now a highly sought after event planning company.
Their hats are many: planners, graphic designers, bakers, and
stylists, just to name a few. Because of these creative talents,
they are able to provide their clients with a range of specialized
services that many other event planners cannot. Their sense of
style, attention to detail, patience, and understanding of their
clients’ needs is what distinguishes them as the best in the industry.
Ruthie and Lauren hold degrees in Graphic Design and
have worked in the wedding industry for over 12 years. When
they are not busy coordinating an event, designing, or baking
cakes, you can often find them shopping antique stores and
boutiques for unique finds. Their favorite color is green and both
have an affinity for anything chocolate.
If you can dream it, we can make it happen!

to have discovered Eutopia Events. From my very first
conversation with Lauren and Ruthie, I felt confident that their energy,
attention to detail, and seamless collaboration would be a huge asset
to my wedding day. I was not mistaken. Throughout the planning
process, they worked with me to ensure that every detail of my
wedding weekend was covered. From ceremony programs to guest
gift bags, Eutopia Events ensured there was a clear plan and that all
of the resources we needed were on board.
The wedding itself could not have gone smoother. They managed
the entire event moment-to-moment, behind the scenes. Lauren
and Ruthie did an amazing job and we truly bonded during the
planning process. It was obvious that they cared about our day as
much as we did!
Eutopia booklet.indd 4 2/4/11 10:12 PM
Eutopia Events took care of any
decisions that needed to be made and
ensured the event stayed on schedule
and had momentum throughout.
So many friends have commented on
our ‘perfect’ and ‘beautiful’ wedding and
even remarked it was the best wedding
they have ever attended. Most importantly,
my husband and I had a wonderful, worry-
free wedding day that we will cherish for
the rest of our lives. This truly would not
have been possible without the expertise
and commitment of Ruthie and Lauren.”

few days we have been savoring the moments of one of
the biggest events in the lifetime of a parent. Moments that include
seeing the hydrangea in the old watering cans, the signs we didn’t get
to hang, (but you did), the colorful cloths enhancing predictable white
table coverings; the list goes on and on, all at the hands of Lauren and
Ruthie, Eutopia Events at its finest. Our ‘behind the scenes’ wizards.
I’d still be running around prepping if you had not insisted I go
inside, leave it to you two, and enjoy the day with my daughter. I did,
finally, knowing you knew our vision and had made it your own.
The lighting and lanterns magically swaying in the light breeze, the
Tiki lights bordering the field’s edge, the sky filled with stars—as we
all felt like stars because we had you at our back—tucking, tweaking,
placing, lighting and overseeing, with our taste and your great eyes for
detail, in-sync.
“Over the last
Eutopia booklet.indd 6 2/4/11 10:12 PM
After all of the guests had left, I walked down the road to experience
what others had seen. I literally stopped in my tracks. It was no less
than awe-inspiring; the placement of the luminaries was the cherry on
top of an incredible evening. The volume of magical dotted light that
transformed the blackness of the new moon into a galaxy of delight
was unreal and truly breathtaking. The luminosity, quantity, and design
was spectacular and we never knew it was happening.
Eutopia Events was so much more than we could have ever imagined
it would be. Two very fine, very talented, organized visionaries. The
Day-of Wedding Coordination was essential given we were using our
own venue. As a Stylist/Set designer/Producer, I thought I could do it all
myself, but couldn’t have done it without Lauren and Ruthie.”
With great admiration and appreciation, Judy (mother of the bride)
