About Lens Society Events

A Boutique Planning Studio Built on Creativity,

Connection & Class

Founded in 2018, Lens Society Events began with one mission to create unforgettable celebrations that feel effortless, elegant, and authentically you.

What started as a passion project in Philadelphia quickly grew into one of the most sought-after luxury event planning studios in the region, trusted by couples, families, and corporate brands alike.

We’ve curated over 250+ events across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, and destination locations, blending world-class design with meticulous organization.

Our Philosophy

Every event tells a story and we make sure yours is one-of-a-kind.

We believe in creativity that connects, design that speaks, and planning that removes the stress so you can focus on the magic.

Our Promise:

We’ll treat your vision like it’s our own.
We’ll manage every detail with care and transparency.
We’ll make every guest say, “Wow.”

“It’s not just event planning — it’s the art of storytelling through design, emotion, and experience.”

Our Mission

To make every event in the Philadelphia region feel like the one your guests can’t stop talking about.
To deliver planning and execution so smooth you forget we’re there — and when you look back, all you remember is joy.
To provide photo-booth experiences that become the highlight of the night.

ABOUT THE FOUNDER

Raelyn McNeil

^{_{Founder & Lead Planner}}

Hello! I’m Raelyn McNeil, owner and event planner for Lens Society Events.

I’m a suburban gal from a small suburban town west of Philadelphia, PA. I currently reside in Philadelphia with my loving husband and the mom to the best son ever. I served in the social services field for over 15 years.

So you may want to know how I got here. After a little soul searching, undecided whether I should go back to school, I signed up for a wedding mentoring class that assisted in the process of launching my Event Planning Business. I’m a natural born planner. I have a quick brain therefore, I love a challenge, am solution focused and I’m great with details.

I’ve planned kid’s parties, anniversaries and weddings for pure pleasure. After careful thought, it only made sense to start my own business, especially because of my eye for creativity, drive for perfection and ambition to thrive in whatever I set my mind to.

I believe my experience as a professional in the social services field may have helped prepare me for this dream of mine. As I work with each of my clients, my approach is person centered to meet their desires and needs. My eye for style, client centered approach and attention to detail is my gift to share with you!

Sincerely,

Rae
