How it All Began
It all started with a joke—really. I was knee-deep in planning yet another event when I casually said, “I should just start my own event company.” It was one of those throwaway comments… until it wasn’t. One day, I found myself sick and tired of being sick and tired and decided to turn that passing thought into something real. And just like that, Forage and Grace was born.
At Forage and Grace, I believe every event tells a story—one that lingers in memories long after the night ends. My passion for creativity, meticulous planning, and the magic of bringing people together fuels everything I do.
But let’s be real—Forage and Grace isn’t just about throwing events. It’s about crafting experiences, curating spaces where people can connect, eat ridiculously good food, and vibe to amazing music.

Jason Derevitsky
Event Specialist
Welcome to Forage and Grace, where creativity meets logistics to craft unforgettable experiences! I’m a Brooklyn-born event specialist with a knack for turning ideas into seamless, engaging events. From concept creation to execution, I handle it all—budgets, vendors, security, and everything in between—so you can enjoy the moment.
With a background in photojournalism from the International Center of Photography, I bring a storyteller’s eye to every event, ensuring it not only runs smoothly but also leaves a lasting impression. As a first-generation Ukrainian and West African, I love blending cultures, creativity, and a touch of the unexpected. Science, macabre, and Renaissance art fuel my imagination—so expect the extraordinary.
