Frequently Asked Questions
These are the questions asked most by our clients. We invite you to reach out with other questions you might have as you consider your corporate event planning needs.
We specialize in fundraisers, charity galas, annual meetings, anniversaries, holiday parties, milestone celebrations, and more. Send us an inquiry to get the process started!
Your team likely has a lot on their plate in managing finances, internal stakeholders, marketing your event, and more. Bringing on a planner allows you to delegate the logistics and design to a professional team of experts so that your internal teams can focus on what they do best.
We identify who is taking ownership over which tasks, who is required for decision making at each turn, and outline a clear roadmap so that we hit deadlines and move the planning progress along at a healthy pace. We collaborate with internal teams both big and small.
Few others have the experience, work ethic, and relationships that we do. With over three decades of experience collectively in the industry, we are repeatedly praised by our vendors and clients for our relentless attention to detail, clear communication, and kind-hearted approach. We have no ego in our work.
The average lead time for the majority of our events is anywhere from 10-14 months out. However, the earlier the better! We also specialize and pride ourselves in our ability to plan on short timelines of 4-8 months. It’s never too early or too late to inquire!
