About Forbes Functions

Forbes Functions

Founder

Meet Cameron Forbes, the visionary founder of Forbes Functions, where exceptional event planning meets the heartbeat of New York City. A native New Yorker with a background in PR and Design, Cameron, a Duke University graduate, transitioned from investment banking to officially launch Forbes Functions in 2022. Her venture has swiftly become an industry standard, renowned for sophisticated, tailor-made events. Cameron currently works with NYC's It Girls, the brides of the Hamptons' most notable weddings, and buzz-worthy brands for all their launch events.

At Forbes Functions, Cameron, along with her team of four female planners, taps into her extensive network across New York and Long Island to curate bespoke experiences. Her innovative approach and flair for hosting have positioned her as a leading tastemaker, crafting unforgettable, trendsetting celebrations resonating with elegance and exclusivity. Forbes Functions is on a mission to make event planning more personal: walking clients through the wedding process, ensuring they always have access to the team, and making sure no question ever goes unanswered.

In three words: Creative, Flexible, Fun

    When it comes to creating unforgettable moments under tight deadlines, Forbes Functions delivers beyond expectations. Tasked with organizing a wedding during an NFL player’s bye week, they flawlessly executed a spectacular event at the stunning 620 Loft & Garden in New York City. Their teamwork and dedication to detail shone brightly. Despite the short timeline, every element of the wedding—from the elegant decor to the seamless coordination with vendors including myself —was executed with precision and care. They ensured I was able to masterfully capture the couple’s vision while ensuring the process felt stress-free and enjoyable. What sets Forbes Functions apart is their ability to anticipate needs and handle challenges with grace. The event not only ran smoothly but exceeded all expectations, leaving guests in awe of the breathtaking atmosphere and impeccable service. For anyone seeking a planning team that can balance luxury, efficiency, and heart, Forbes Functions is the gold standard. This wedding was a true testament to their professionalism and passion for making dreams come true and I’m honored to have worked along side them to capture every breathtaking detail.

    I've worked alongside plenty of wedding planners, and I can say without a doubt that Cameron and her team are part of the elite set. Cameron is so friendly and kind that it felt like working alongside a friend. Not to mention she and her team are clearly very experienced and can handle anything. They are so organized and impeccably professional. I would recommend Forbes Functions to anyone planning any event of any size, from a dinner party to an extravagant wedding. I can't wait to work with them again!
