Preferred Vendors
At Events at the Gallery, we truly love our preferred vendors. They’ve earned that status by consistently delivering exceptional quality, professionalism, and seamless service that aligns beautifully with the experiences we want for our clients. Their familiarity with our space and standards helps ensure everything runs smoothly from start to finish.
That said, we also understand that every client’s vision is unique. You’re always welcome to bring in your own trusted vendors if you prefer. Our goal is to support your event in the way that feels right for you—whether that’s with one of our amazing partners or a team you’ve personally selected.

FLORISTS
Ed Smith Flowers and Gifts
FROM THEIR WEBSITE: Conner and Steve are long time friends who left the corporate world to strike out on their own. Their floral education began under the tutelage of Brian Smith, son of the company founder Ed, who had owned and operated the shop for almost 50 years. Under Brian's guidance, their skills blossomed, proving their worth to carry on the Smith family legacy. Conner and Steve bring energy, passion, creativity, and vision to a floral industry which is often stuck in traditional modes of operation and thinking. With strong customer service backgrounds, the customer's experience is their priority and the flower shop staff is their family.
Far Hills Florist
FROM THEIR WEBSITE: Conner and Steve are long time friends who left the corporate world to strike out on their own. They purchased Far Hills Florist in 2024 from original owners Jeff and Barbara Schneider, who were finally ready for a well-deserved retirement. Jeff and Barbara spent several months teaching Conner and Steve about the inspiration and guiding principals behind their design style and they remain actively involved with the business. True to the Far Hills legacy they inherited, Conner and Steve use the same high quality exotic blooms that made Far Hills Florist such a unique and easily recognizable style for over 50 years.

Personal Choice Vendors
For the safety of our clients, guests, and partners, all vendors working Events at the Gallery are required to carry appropriate insurance—typically commercial general liability—to cover any property damage or bodily injury that may occur in the course of their work. As the venue’s insurance does not extend to outside vendors, each vendor must provide a current Certificate of Insurance (COI) naming Events at the Gallery as an additional insured. We need this no less than 14 days before your event. If in doubt, insurance can be purchased HERE.
