Extraordinary Events. Impeccably Orchestrated.

There is a difference between hosting a party and creating an occasion. An occasion carries intention, from the atmosphere of the room to the rhythm of the evening itself. At JFG events, every gathering is approached as both creative expression and careful orchestration, where imagination shapes the vision and meticulous planning ensures every detail unfolds seamlessly. Founded by Blake Devillier, the firm believes the most memorable celebrations are not defined by extravagance alone, but by how they make people feel. Through thoughtful design, precise production, and genuine hospitality, JFG events creates experiences that bring people together and linger long after the evening ends.

JFG events and JF Gardemal Designs operate as two distinct practices guided by a shared philosophy: thoughtful design, intentional execution, and environments that leave a lasting impression.

For more than twenty years, Blake Devillier and Jerad Gardemal have built, both, a life and a body of work rooted in creativity and precision. Their partnership informs everything they do, from the composition of a residence to the choreography of a gathering.

Jerad’s interior design practice shapes spaces with depth, refinement, and a strong point of view. JFG events extends that same sensibility into celebrations, translating design principles into experiences that feel seamless from arrival to farewell. Operating between Baton Rouge and New York City, their perspective blends Southern hospitality with metropolitan scale. Together, their work reflects a unified approach to interiors and experiences: thoughtful, elevated, and executed with care.

At JFG events, every gathering is approached as both an

ARTISTIC EXPRESSION
AND A CAREFULLY
ORCHESTRATED EXPERIENCE.

We believe extraordinary events are defined by:

  • Thoughtful design
  • Meticulous execution
  • Moments of surprise and delight
  • Genuine hospitality

Because the most memorable celebrations are
not only beautiful—they create connection.
