our story
We’re Mariah and Niaz, the founders of Reverie, a luxury event design company based in the DMV. What began as a conversation over cocktails grew into a business rooted in the belief that events can be thoughtful and visually impactful while still feeling effortless. With backgrounds in operations, event planning, fine arts, strategy, and marketing, we bring an intentional, design-forward approach to every celebration.
our approach
We design for people who care about how their celebration feels, not just how it looks. Every event holds something meaningful, and we believe that should be felt in every detail. Bringing all of those elements together takes thought and care. That’s where we step in.
At Reverie, we don’t approach events as a checklist of rentals or trends to follow. We approach them as an experience to shape. You’re not just working with someone to style a space. You’re collaborating with a team that takes what matters to you and translates it into something that feels effortless, elevated, and entirely your own.
Mariah is the creative force behind Reverie, bringing a deep appreciation for sculptural forms, texture, and understated elegance to each project. With a professional background in marketing and analytics - and a lifelong connection to fine arts - she approaches event design with both artistic vision and thoughtful intention.
Rather than designing around trends, Mariah focuses on timeless aesthetics that reflect the people and stories behind each gathering.

At her core, Niaz loves the art of hosting. She believes the most memorable celebrations are the ones where people feel genuinely cared for and are able to enjoy the moment together.
