MEET VALERIE

Meet Valerie the Van! Valerie is a 1973 Volkswagen Transporter, cleverly housing a custom made DSLR photo booth. Giving you…*drum roll please*…..a photobus! Valerie made her way here from Guatemala and even spent some time there as a wedding bus, so she is no stranger to a good time. We found Valerie in Connecticut and brought her to New York to star in the creation of Vamped Up Van Co. No matter where she goes, Valerie creates the perfect outlet to vamp up the vibes of your next event.

There has always been a special place in my heart for Volkswagen buses. They have a unique ability to transport you in time and draw an instant smile on your face, by simply passing by. Growing up in a family with a devotion to vintage cars, I was no stranger to the deep appreciation that comes with knowing “ they don't make them like they used to”. During my childhood, The OBI Car Show became our religion and we surrendered ourselves to Sundays filled with doughnuts of the pastry and auto variety.

I was once a little girl fascinated by clean lines, impeccable design and attention to detail- whether that be a car, a piece of clothing or an atmosphere- beyond awareness of the fact that I would one day graduate with a degree in Fashion Business Management from FIT. Although my fashion degree was a step in the right direction, I yearned to bring concepts to completion, put my creativity to the test and ultimately, highlight my true passion for event design.

Herein lies the birth of Vamped Up Van Co.! Vamped Up Van Co. combines the best parts of my passions and expertise to bring you a center stage for nostalgia, while simultaneously giving you a unique experience to create new memories. Vintage vibes, aesthetic awe and most importantly, FUN, are the main pillars driving Vamped Up Van Co. I am so proud to bring you this project and I am sincerely grateful that you chose us to help make your next event unforgettable.
