Who we are

THK Events is owned and operated by Samantha and Mary — lifelong friends, hospitality professionals, and now business partners with a shared passion for creating unforgettable events.

Their journey started years ago, working in catering and events, where they both discovered a love for service, celebration, and bringing people together. Over the years, their friendship deepened — and so did their talents. When Mary catered Samantha’s wedding, it wasn’t just a beautiful day — it was the spark that inspired them to combine their strengths and start THK Events.

A Fairfield University graduate with a degree in finance, Mary is a savvy businesswoman with a heart for hospitality. She’s the founder of The Home Kitchen Catering, an acclaimed catering company with over 100 five-star reviews on Google. Known for her energy and warmth, Mary thrives on making people feel welcome — whether it’s through food, family, or flawless event experiences

Meet Samantha

Samantha holds a Bachelor’s in Global Supply Chain Management from Bryant University and an MBA in Business Analytics from Indiana University. With a background in corporate and factory planning, she brings unmatched organization and strategic thinking to the table. What began as planning weddings and showers for loved ones soon became her calling.

Together, Mary and Samantha founded THK Events to blend their unique strengths — Mary’s culinary and hospitality expertise, and Samantha’s planning precision and logistical know-how. More than business partners, they’re great friends who believe that every event should feel personal, polished, and full of joy.
