MEET THE TEAM
STASIA
FOUNDER & OWNER OF EXQUISITE EVENTS
Stasia Anthony brought her own exquisite style of entertaining and event planning to the Newport area in the late 1980s. Having directed all of the executive in-house entertaining and corporate events for Citibank in New York, Stasia returned to her native city of Newport.
With her strong background in designing, managing and overseeing events - from intimate dinner parties for 10 to corporate galas for 600 - she delighted clients and their guests.
Stasia strives to realize every client’s vision: assessing and anticipating needs (often from multiple people), as well as orchestrating and overseeing every detail. With this vision, all of her events - from casual backyard barbecues to once-in-a-lifetime weddings - reflect each client’s unique style and tastes. She has a proven track record of personalized and exceptional service. She has the experience, established relationships with top area vendors, and the design and managerial expertise to thrill you and your guests.

BRITT
COORDINATOR TO THE JACKSON HOLE OFFICE
Brittney Ziebell kick started a career in Event Planning at Exquisite Events in 2010. For five summers, she worked as an Event Coordinator on Stasia’s Exquisite team, cultivating an eye for detail and a steady hand for custom design projects. She co-founded Busy B’s Gift Bags with dear friend Brittany Anthony, and together “The Britt’s” crafted welcome bags for destination weddings in Newport, RI. After five summers spent by the sea, the mountains called Brittney, an avid skier, and she headed west to Jackson, Wyoming.
In Jackson, Brittney balances planning weddings, managing annual, grandfathered community events for a local nonprofit, and designing and selling chalkboard art for businesses, events, homes, and art fairs. It’s in the Tetons that Brittney has refined her passion for rustic elegance and western charm. Ever-focused on the art of creation, Brittney finds joy in bringing any vision to life with an emphasis on the natural wilderness of the surrounding western landscape.
Beyond detail and design, Brittney believes in the importance of the moment, and strives to always achieve an authentic experience with top service in the fresh mountain air and amongst loved ones.
When Britt isn’t working, you can find her painting on chalkboards, backcountry skiing, trail running, photographing or sailing her sailboat, Juniper, somewhere in the High Alpine.
