CHRISTOPHER LAVOIE

Silver Summit Events
"I own an Event Design & Wedding Planning Company called Silver Summit Events, and I've worked with In The Event for years, and they truly are one of a kind. They always go above & beyond for us and our clients. Their attention to detail is second to none and they are always willing to work closely with us and the rest of our vendor team (venue, florist, band etc) to make sure our events are flawless.  

KRISTEN LODAHL

Best Ever Conference
"We have worked with In the Event for two years now and I am in awe of this group. Not only are they AMAZING at what they do, they are the most down-to-earth group of humans who will bust their asses for you and make it look effortless. We couldn't be more grateful for our partnership with them and we would never work with another production team that's not them."

SUE REDINGTON

STEM Educator Conference
"In The Event was the best decision we made for our recent STEM Educator conference. We needed their creative expertise to bring together a concept that we could not have come up with ourselves. They elevated our conference ten-fold and made my job SOOO much easier. I cannot wait to continue our partnership for future events."

  • BOYS & GIRLS CLUB GALA 2024

    Smart Event Production that Drove Fundraising and Rebooked a Nonprofit Client

    THE Challenge: Navigating Technical Limitations for a Live Auction

    During the Boys & Girls Club Gala 2024, lighting control became a critical challenge. The venue’s house lighting system couldn’t be patched to external equipment, risking poor visibility during key live auction moments—the most important fundraising segment of the night. Effective event lighting control was essential to spotlight donors, energize the room, and support real-time bidding.

    THE Solution: Creative Event Lighting and Communication

    To overcome the technical limitations, In The Event implemented a Clear-Com wireless headset system, allowing real-time communication with a staff member operating the in-house lighting panel. We also adjusted the gala program flow to seamlessly integrate additional lighting cues, ensuring smooth transitions and keeping the event’s energy high during critical auction moments.

    THE Outcome: A Successful Night and a Repeat Client

    With smart event AV solutions, strategic lighting, and proactive event coordination, the gala maintained its energy, kept audiences engaged, and helped the organization successfully reach its fundraising goals. Live auction cues were executed seamlessly, transitions ran smoothly, and the overall event flow felt effortless to guests and speakers alike. 

    The positive experience led to overwhelmingly strong client feedback, with particular praise for our adaptability, communication, and creative problem-solving under technical constraints. As a result, the Boys & Girls Club immediately rebooked In The Event for their 2025 gala—further solidifying our reputation as a trusted partner for nonprofit event production, live fundraising event support, and turnkey gala planning services.

  • AIR FORCE GALA 2024

    Bringing Vision, Flexibility, and Expert Planning to a New Venue Launch Event
    Hill Air Force Gala Glow

    THE Challenge: Designing an event in a brand-new space

    For the inaugural Air Force Gala at the newly constructed Hill Aerospace Museum space, both the client and our team were stepping into the unknown. The venue was still under construction, with aircraft placement and event flow elements in flux. With no precedent for hosting events in the space, our challenge was to develop a layout and design that felt seamless, functional, and impactful within a shifting environment.

    THE Solution: Proactive Planning and Strategic Event Design

    In The Event conducted multiple site visits during the build-out phase, collaborating closely with the client to review floorplans and make smart, experience-driven layout suggestions. We provided a full event layout, offering guidance on the placement of staging, cocktail areas, and banquet seating—even encouraging use of areas the client initially overlooked. Our team also implemented thoughtful event lighting design and stage lighting solutions to enhance the architectural elements of the space and highlight the aircraft on display, ensuring both form and function were elevated.

    THE Outcome: A Flawless Guest Experience and Ongoing Partnership

    The event achieved full attendance with smooth guest movement, comfortable spacing, and no crowding concerns. The client was thrilled with the layout, lighting enhancements, and overall atmosphere—so much so that they’ve since become a returning partner. This project reflects our core approach at In The Event: combining creativity, strategic thinking, and hands-on support to deliver event experiences that exceed expectations.
