E.S.T 1988 Decor and Events is based out of Baltimore, MD. Committed

to  providing high quality Event Design, Production and Management services.

Eboni S. Thorne is the owner and lead Event Producer. Over 14 years

ago, Eboni unknowingly began her event professional journey at Randallstown

Highschool, when elected president of her class. Eboni fully planned and

executed class trips at 16 years old and managed to take coach bus loads

of students to amusement parks in and out of the state of Maryland. In 2008

while attending The University of Maryland College Park, Eboni researched

local Black Owned Event Planning firms and secured an internship with

Blush Weddings and Events under the leadership of Tami B. Eboni acquired

much knowledge about wedding execution. At only 20 years old and still

searching for her purpose, at the conclusion of the internship, Eboni thought

to explore other avenues and focused more on her love for music. She

began recording, writing music and traveling looking to find her place in the

music industry. But deep down, behind the scenes was always a comfortable place to be for Eboni.

In 2012, while designing her own baby shower, the spark for events quickly resurfaced. Eboni decided to begin event work again. In 2015 Eboni decided to start her own event business, focusing initially on design. Sparingly taking on client in need of full planning and day of coordinating services. To build her inventory, she would plan events in exchange for keeping the materials being her sole compensation. This is how she decided to build a portfolio, inventory and use her platform as a networking tool.

Over the years, Eboni built relationships with vendors throughout the Baltimore, the DMV and beyond. Her level of knowledge and expertise expanded from design and planning to floral design, print services, rental reservation, drape execution, A/V and sound, entertainment to outdoor festival requirements, the permit process, understanding venue, state and city requirements when producing and managing events etc. Even putting forth a conscious effort to work for other event professionals and study the event industry has helped Eboni become very well versed.

Eboni realized that she could merge her love for music and entertainment with events and decided to shift gears and focus on not just design but Event Production and Management for large scale events. Because of the connections and relationships nurtured over the years with multiple local small businesses, Eboni began to offer services to traveling productions to secure local vendors that are needed to execute their production with hiring local, talented small businesses as much as possible.

The E.S.T goal is to produce events that focus on quality first. With a wide array of experience and knowledge, you can trust that we will get the job done!
