Phase One:

Event Development

This is where making your event great begins. What is the why for this event? What is your event wish list? What are the latest trends? Let’s explore the big ideas together to arrive at your unique guest experience.

Four Phases!  OUR APPROACH TO EVENT PLANNING

We don’t just plan an event. We develop it. Here are the steps we take.

OUR APPROACH

Phase Two:

Pre-Production Planning

This is where we spend a lot of time – so you don’t have to. 

Creative solutions to meet your vision and goals are confirmed. Reliable vendor partners are contracted. All event details and logistics are finalized for event day.

Phase Three:

Event Day

It’s time to enjoy your event. You get to spend time with your supporters knowing everything’s handled.

We got this. We’re ready to run the show.

Phase Four:

Post-Production

The event is over, but our work is not yet complete. 

Let’s debrief together. What worked? What didn’t? What’s next?

We’re already thinking about the next event and how to leverage momentum.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Professional event planners have the experience, process, and network to be most efficient. We can work with your event committee and volunteers to guide on best practices and lessons learned from 20+ years of experience. It’s what we do best, and it leaves you to do what you do best.

  • First, we listen. It’s important for us to learn what support you need to plan and execute your event. We know one size doesn’t fit all and we want to tailor our services accordingly. Is this your first time planning this event? If it’s an annual event, we’d love to hear your glows and grows. Establishing this connection and arriving at your why allows us to empower your team and harness the specifics areas of expertise of our team members.

     

    We want your event to be yours. We help you get there.

  • One million dollars. Just kidding!

    Cost really depends on the size and complexity of your event. Because we specialize in events for non-profit organizations, we do smart things like put you in direct contact with vendors so you can get their non-profit rate – to help reduce your expenses. We’re honest and believe in transparent pricing.

  • Sure! We’ll work with you and make recommendations for staff and volunteer roles to support your event.

  • The earlier, the better. (It is true for just about anything.) Ideally, we work a year ahead of time, but that rarely happens these days. Let us know your needs, and we’ll let you know what we can do.
