We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Epiphany Davis a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Epiphany thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. So, naming is such a challenge. How did you come up with the name of your brand?

Well, honestly, it just kind of came to me 😏 No but seriously, with a name like a Epiphany I’ve heard literally every rendition of jokes about it from the time I was a child. Because of that, I always used a play on my name for work. As a freelance performer it was “it works for Epiphany” and when I was launching this company as an event planner I knew that I wanted to find a way to use my name again. Have An Epiphany just made sense. After all, it’s the best idea you’ve ever had. Thus the company name, and the tagline were born – sitting at my best friend’s parent’s dining room table in New Jersey January 2018.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

Have an Epiphany is a full service global event planning and consultation company that creates custom events based on our unique clients’ needs. We specialize in event planning packages from Day of Coordinator up to Full Service Planning. Starting with venue sourcing to vendor curation, entertainment, design and distinctive atmosphere & ambiance we will help our clients achieve the event of their dreams.

Epiphany Davis, owner and lead planner of Have An Epiphany, is a former dancer and actor. She started her career in the event industry in the New York Metropolitan area. After many years and countless events in New York, Epiphany launched Have An Epiphany to ease the strain of bringing an exquisite event to life with style and flair. Have An Epiphany has grown from a one woman operation to now include a second assistant planner/social media manager, two additional Day of Coordinators and Event Staff.

Any stories or insights that might help us understand how you’ve built such a strong reputation?

To work with Have An Epiphany is to know the quality that we provide. It’s not just about the relationship we have with your clients, easing the strain of planning and handling the stress of the actual event or wedding day. But also the care we have with the other professionals on the day. We’ve built some amazing relationships with venues, DJs, caterers, florists, bands all because of the way we coordinate on the actual event day. While our clients are the heart of Have An Epiphany, the relationships we’ve built with other vendors has also helped us grow. Being recommended by other professionals in the industry as an expert planner/consultant that they trust and have loved working with to their clients is an even bigger growth opportunity for the Have An Epiphany brand.

How do you keep in touch with clients and foster brand loyalty?
