We plan environmentally-conscious events and tours you and your guests will want to attend again and again.    To set the foundation for success, we establish clear mission statements, broadly research resources and bring creative design and personal customer service elements with each event or tour.

Our events have included:  numerous weddings (including long-distance sites) ♦ street festivals for 10,000 participants ♦  farm celebrations ♦ community service projects involving over 400 volunteers ♦ dog shows ♦ art festivals ♦ outdoor fundraising dinners ♦ neighborhood-wide yard sales ♦ fundraising garden parties & house parties ♦ outdoor movies ♦ children & adult themed birthday parties.   Our "Sustainable Living & Slow Eating" Tours are locally focused in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed on weekends.  We plan at least one international tour to benefit a local 501c3 partner organization.  March, 2012 - BRAZIL!!!   To join us on a tour - email us at info@ecostudio.info
