Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Jhunry Arquion. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Jhunry, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Can you tell us about a time where you or your team really helped a customer get an amazing result?
All of my events have been successful, with clients grateful for my help in planning and design. A standout was the intimate rooftop wedding I decorated for a lesbian couple in Astoria, NY it was my first lesbian wedding and fourth LGBTQ+ wedding, including my own. The couple wanted an intimate rooftop celebration in Astoria, New York. Despite the windy weather, which broke the wooden arch before the ceremony, I was able to fix it just in time. They loved the affordable decor I provided, which was within their budget, and appreciated the extra touches I added. I followed their requests, and they gave me the freedom to design as I wished.
The wedding was especially meaningful because the couple chose to celebrate their love despite not having family support. It was emotional for me as well, since some of my family had initially struggled with my own gay marriage, though they later accepted it. During their speeches, the couple thanked me repeatedly, expressing their gratitude that I was the one to decorate their special day.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
My name is Jhunry Arquion and I was born and raised in the Philippines. I hold a degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management. Before coming to the United States, my goal was to work in a high-end hotel or restaurant as a manager. However, my path shifted during my first year here. In 2020, I decorated my intimate wedding and soon after friends began asking me to decorate for their children’s birthdays even offering to pay. That’s when I realized my true passion was in event decor.
I love hosting gatherings and decorating spaces, whether it’s the house or backyard, making each event feel extra special. This led me to start my business, Events By Jhunry. Initially, I charged minimal fees to build my profile, but my rates remain affordable today. My goal is to offer unique, budget-friendly decor that exceeds clients’ expectations while still allowing me to make a profit.
What sets me apart is the uniqueness and affordability of my setups. I’m dedicated to not only meeting clients’ expectations but surpassing them. I put time and love into each backdrop, treating this work as both art and craft. Seeing clients’ gratitude when I finish a setup makes it all worthwhile.
To my future clients, I guarantee you’ll love the masterpieces I create. Events By Jhunry is here to make your event relaxing and stress-free, handling everything from gender reveals, baby showers, birthdays to proposals, weddings and more. We’d love to be part of your next event!
Any thoughts, advice, or strategies you can share for fostering brand loyalty?
I’m very grateful for all my clients. Many of them have hired me for multiple events, and I truly appreciate it when they contact me again or recommend me to friends and on social media. We follow each other on both my business and personal accounts, staying connected and updated. They often react to and comment on my posts and stories, and I love their continued support even after their events.
We’d love to hear about how you met your business partner.
I’m truly grateful to my partner, not only in business but in life. Justin and I met in 2019 and got married in 2020. He’s been a huge help with this business. From the start, he’s been incredibly supportive doing all the driving, picking up items from storage, running to different stores, and transporting everything to venues, even when it’s nearly a two-hour drive. He’s always there to help me with every event, and I feel so lucky to have him. I’m also grateful for my family and friends, who are my constant support system.
