Mount Holly, NJ – In the heart of Mount Holly, New Jersey, lies a hidden gem that embodies the essence of creativity, community, and family. The JameSmith Event Studio, owned and operated by the dynamic Aketra James, stands out as a beacon of inspiration and innovation in the events industry.
A Unique Offering: The JameSmith Event Studio

Whether it’s a corporate event, a baby shower, or a bridal shower, the studio provides the perfect backdrop for any occasion.
A Journey of Resilience and Determination
Aketra, affectionately known as Key-Key, embarked on this entrepreneurial journey with a vision to create more than just a space; she sought to create a legacy. The studio, which opened its doors four years ago, was born out of the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic. A chef by trade, Aketra had a passion for creating memorable experiences through food.
However, with the world undergoing constant change, she pivoted her focus to creating a space that would not only fulfill her creative aspirations but also serve as a platform to build generational wealth for her children.
Community and Collaboration

At the core of the studio’s core value is community. Aketra actively collaborates with local businesses, such as Thirsty Palette Paint, to offer unique experiences like sip & paint events. She also partners with a balloon artist, among others, to create unforgettable moments for her clients. Additionally, Aketra is deeply involved in the Mount Holly community, volunteering her space for events and participating in local initiatives.
A Personal Touch: From Aketra’s Kitchen to Your Event
