About W.Y.H.A.M.
When You Have A Minute.. (W.Y.H.A.M.) was founded by Philip Vincent McLaughlin III to answer a critical need in event services: ensuring urgent, meaningful life events are supported, not hindered by rigid timelines or cost barriers. Drawing from over 20 years in hospitality and event management, we witnessed first-hand the challenges faced by families, schools, and organizations when gathering is suddenly essential.
Our mission is to operate where traditional agencies can’t—providing structured, compassionate, and professional support for events that need to come together with little notice. By leveraging operational excellence and a robust local vendor network, we make dignified, high-quality events possible in days or even hours, serving the community with empathy and accountability.
