Wedding planner with a biker image

men in female jobs richard omalley biker wedding planner gallery
  • Name: Richard O'Malley, 44
  • Place: New York, N.Y.

I am a special events producer, and over the last two years, I got back into planning high-end bar mitzvahs and weddings.

My situation is unique because every major, iconic image from this field has either been a woman or a gay man. I look like I came off the set of Sons of Anarchy.

I'm 6' 2, 300+ lbs, shaved head, and an intimidating presence. So, let's just say I stand out in the room!

That said, it usually takes clients a few moments to realize the big, scary biker-looking guy knows more about fabric and rentals and coordination than anyone they've met with yet.

I know what I am, and it's one of those things I'd rather use as a brand.

I can take a $500-a-night Elks lodge and make it look the Delano Hotel in Miami Beach.
