Description: We are committed to helping each event reach its fullest potential while fostering a sense of service and greater good. We do this with a focus on intersectional sustainability—striving to work with vendors who seek to reduce their lasting impact on the environment while making a strong impact in uplifting communities; with clients who are looking for a stress-less approach to planning and seek to advance liberation and dignity for all; with vendors who believe, like us, that leaving things a little better than we found them is a required part of any definition of success. We take pride in infusing our creativity, love of spreadsheets, and penchant for exceptional experiences with thoughtful, un-fussy, and eco-conscious execution.
Offerings include one-day meetings, multi-day gatherings, fundraising events and galas, celebrations and holiday parties, team building, and social impact.
Access: All services available in-person nationwide.
