The Five Collective is where experience meets celebration. Founded by Ekima Smith, a corporate finance professional turned entrepreneur, and Desie Smith, a hospitality leader with over 20 years managing top hotel brands, our mission is to elevate events into unforgettable experiences.
What began with a single venue—The Five Party & Event Center—has grown into a full-service event portfolio, including décor and rentals – The Five Props & Rentals, and professional education through EDCAC.
