Today we’d like to introduce you to Bintu Kargbo.
Hi Bintu, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
I started Luxure Events & Decor in 2020, right in the heart of the COVID-19 pandemic. Creativity and design had always been a part of who I was. Whenever I hosted something at home—even a simple Thanksgiving dinner—I loved decorating, creating beautiful tablescapes, and making every detail feel special.
Before launching my business, I worked as a Life Enrichment Coordinator at an upscale retirement community, where I planned monthly activities and events for the residents. We created elegant experiences with thoughtfully designed table settings and décor. That position gave me valuable hands-on experience and helped me realize how much I enjoyed transforming ideas into memorable experiences.
Although I appreciated that opportunity, I wanted the creative freedom to design the modern, luxurious events I envisioned. I have always had an entrepreneurial spirit—I styled hair and even explored starting a clothing business—but event planning and design felt the most authentic to me. It brought together everything I genuinely loved: creativity, hosting, design, and making people feel celebrated.
Because large gatherings were limited during the pandemic, I started small with an intimate picnic. One picnic led to another, and my business began growing through social media, word-of-mouth, and referrals. Social media became an important tool for showcasing my work and introducing Luxure Events & Decor to a larger audience.
As the business grew, I continued investing in myself, developing my skills, building relationships, and expanding my services. I eventually hosted an official launch party that allowed people to experience the full Luxure brand. Over time, I also established Luxure Rentals, providing clients with luxury furniture and décor in addition to event planning and design.
What began with intimate picnics during an uncertain time has grown into a brand that creates weddings, milestone celebrations, corporate functions, and large-scale events. Every client, referral, challenge, and opportunity has contributed to the growth of Luxure Events & Decor. I am proud of how far the brand has come.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Starting a business during COVID-19 was challenging because gatherings were limited, and I had to build my client base through intimate events, social media, and word-of-mouth.
As the business grew, I faced new challenges, including choosing which services to prioritize, managing vendors, staying current with industry trends, and balancing creativity with pricing, contracts, and logistics. Investing in inventory and marketing without guaranteed returns also required careful planning.
Although the journey has not been easy, every challenge has taught me to adapt, remain consistent, and trust my vision. Those experiences have helped shape my business and made me a stronger, more confident entrepreneur.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
Luxure Events & Decor specializes in planning and designing modern, luxurious weddings, milestone celebrations, corporate functions, and other large-scale events. We are known for transforming spaces through thoughtful details, beautiful tablescapes, statement décor, and personalized designs that reflect each client’s vision. Through Luxure Rentals, we also provide luxury furniture, tables, chairs, and décor pieces.
I am most proud of building my business from the ground up. It has grown into a brand trusted to create meaningful celebrations and elevated experiences.
What sets me apart is my genuine passion for making people feel celebrated. I bring creativity, organization, and personal attention to every event. I do not believe in creating the same experience for every client—I take the time to understand their story and transform their ideas into something beautiful, memorable, and uniquely theirs.
So maybe we end on discussing what matters most to you and why?
What matters most to me is my family, my faith, my clients, and creating a meaningful legacy. My family and faith motivate me to work hard, remain grounded, and continue pursuing my purpose.
My clients also mean so much to me. They trust me with some of the most important moments in their lives, and I never take that responsibility lightly. Throughout the planning process, many clients become more than clients—they become family and friends.
Through Luxure Events & Decor, I want to create memorable experiences that make people feel genuinely celebrated.
