small-town girl from Nebraska with big dreams + simply wanting to make a big difference in this world. Then, you add in an incredibly loving husband that supports this girl’s dreams to make this world a better place. Always. Add these two together + you get…an award-winning + internationally-recognized event design company. The Event Company.
When I launched The Event Company ten years ago, I could never have imagined the impact that our team would have on so many individuals + organizations across the globe. It not only has been quite the year, but it has also been a decade of dream building, one event at a time.
While it’s almost time to pop that bottle of bubbly as we usher in a new year, I also raise my glass to the last ten years of triumphs that made us smile, to the trials that nearly broke us + all of the messy, but beautiful moments in between.
LET’S TAKE IT BACK: THE REALLY DIFFICULT DAYS
As we rewind the world back to October 2013 when I launched The Event Company, it was on a chilly fall evening when I pressed the “publish” button on our Facebook page. That’s right, that was the big launch. Cue the fanfare!
When I launched the company, I was also working a full-time job in fundraising development for a non-profit, raising two little boys (William was 4 years old + Calvin was 14 months old) + living upstairs of my in-laws’ house while my husband, Drew, was building our home. It was a busy time in our lives; however, after months + months of research + engaging in meaningful conversations with colleagues in the hospitality industry, it was time. Time to make it happen for myself + my family. Time to make a difference.
