Who We Are and How We Got Started...

A 3^rd Generation FAMILY OWNED BUSINESS! 

An Event with Class, is a family owned business that was co-founded by Lupe Wussow. She was an original founding member of N.A.R.P. (now N.A.R.M that is a National Association for Reunion Planners-which dictates guidelines and ethics for reunion organizers throughout the United States).

Lupe started the first High School Reunion Company servicing Kansas City, KS and Kansas City, MO in the early ‘80’s!  She started her business with a passion for bringing old friends together and with a desire to have fun! Before there were software programs, Yahoo search engines, email etc., Lupe was hammering away on her typewriter, searching through phone books, and setting up the business model that would establish her as THE REUNION PLANNER in the Midwest.  Lupe’s passion and fun with the business was contagious and she soon had various members of her family helping her with various aspects of the business.

It was after 7 years involvement in reunion planning that Jesse A. Hernandez with Lupe’s assistance, started his own Reunion Planning Company- An Event with Class.  He shared Lupe’s passion of renewing old friendships and bringing new ones together.  Jesse learned from THE REUNION PLANNER and that model has served committees for over 6 years and close to 100 reunions in both MO and KS!

Recently, An Event with Class has added two new owners into the fold-Darren and Shannon Prenger (Jesse’s niece & nephew).  Darren and Shannon bring a wealth of reunion planning experience.

So, if you are looking for an experienced Event Planner specializing in High School Reunions let, An Event with Class organize your event from “head to toe”.  Our team has been putting together reunions since the ‘80’s.
