Debbie Noce of Social Butterfly Event Planning

Many have been referred to as the hostess with the mostess, but Debbie Noce, also known as Social Butterfly Debbie, has managed to significantly raise the bar for that moniker. Debbie is Founder and CEO of Social Butterfly Event Planning based in Red Bank. Drawing from her personal passion for entertaining family and friends, meticulous attention to details, and bringing people together for parties, Debbie has created a unique event planning business which includes singles parties, parties for non-profits, charity events, corporate events, fashion shows, reunions, and launch parties for new businesses and products. Social Butterfly Debbie has worked with The Mental Health Association of Monmouth County, St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, Lunch Break, American Red Cross, American Cancer Society, Purr N’ Pooch Foundation, Tracey Alva’s Mission for MS, and Spring House. One event highlight was when she and one of her musicians, Scott Elk, help put together one of the first “Restore The Shore” events in the area back in November 2012 to raise money for Hurricane Sandy relief efforts. Debbie also promotes and books several area bands such as Scott Elk, Strumberry Pie, and Red Bank Blues Band. Did I mention Debbie was very busy and seems to be everywhere watching over the details of events and planning new one -- not to mention booking local bands?! In the words of late French designer Coco Chanel, “In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different.” Social Butterfly Debbie has that covered. So what is her secret to a well-executed and memorable event? You’ll have to listen to find out. After the interview, please check out After Hours at Jersey Coastal Live.
