Planning, design & production services for corporate events, non-profit functions, private parties, weddings, & celebrations

Imagination, collaboration, a passion for planning, and a sharp attention to design are the cornerstones of EventWise.

We offer a wide array of planning and production services from hourly consultations and day-of coordination to full-scale event design and production

As we all know, COVID-19 changed just about every aspect of our lives and events are no exception We were one of the first industries required to close and one of the last industries allowed to open for in-person gatherings We have had to re-evaluate, re-think, and re-learn everything about events The inherent complex nature of producing an event made even more complex by seemingly daily change, never-ending lists of unknowns, and an even deeper duty of care – not only to those involved in the event but also to our larger community

Many people have commented that the pandemic is a big “re-set” and we could not agree more We are using this time to learn as much as we can, experiment, and adjust Innovation and positive change will come out of this It just has to Even after this current pandemic is over, it will still be a whole new world for events Our eyes have been opened to the fact that there could be another world health crisis, or we could face other uncertainties like slow economic recovery, or the devastating effects of climate change that will have us using the knowledge and skills from our COVID-19 lessons once again

One of the things we have all learned during this time is that no one has all of the answers A good team is the key to making informed decisions and moving forward Please reach out to us if you have any questions, an idea for a project, or even if you just want to talk about what might be possible We would be happy to be part of your team

Stay safe, keep hopeful, and be wise
