Testimonials

At In The Event, we believe every moment should leave a lasting impression — and our clients agree. Here's what they're saying about their experience bringing galas, fundraisers, award ceremonies, and unforgettable evenings to life with our team.

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 to make sure our events are flawless.

Christopher LaVoie Silver Summit Events

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.

Kristen Lodahl Best Ever 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.

The Outcome
Boys and Girls Club Gala — The Challenge

Navigating Technical Limitations for a Live Auction

The venue's house lighting couldn't be patched to external equipment, risking poor visibility during the live auction — the most critical fundraising segment of the night.

Boys and Girls Club Gala — The Solution

Creative Event Lighting and Communication

We implemented a Clear-Com wireless headset system for real-time lighting coordination and adjusted the program flow to integrate additional cues, keeping energy high through every auction moment.

Boys and Girls Club Gala — The Outcome

A Successful Night and a Repeat Client

Auction cues landed seamlessly, transitions ran smoothly, and the event felt effortless to guests and speakers alike. The Boys & Girls Club immediately rebooked for 2025.

The Outcome
Air Force Gala — The Challenge

Designing an Event in a Brand-New Space

The venue was still under construction with aircraft placement in flux. With no precedent for events in the space, we needed a layout that felt seamless and impactful within a shifting environment.

Air Force Gala — The Solution

Proactive Planning and Strategic Event Design

Multiple site visits during build-out, smart floorplan guidance, and experience-driven suggestions on staging, cocktail areas, and seating — including spaces the client had initially overlooked.

Air Force Gala — The Outcome

A Flawless Guest Experience and Ongoing Partnership

Full attendance, smooth guest flow, and no crowding. The client was thrilled with the layout and lighting — and they've since become a returning partner.

The Outcome
Westminster Gala — The Challenge

Full Production, Outdoors, on a Live Campus

Producing a landmark gala in Westminster's open campus courtyard meant building every element from scratch — AV, furniture, decor, branding, and florals — with no built-in venue infrastructure.

Westminster Gala — The Solution

Every Layer of the Event, Coordinated as One

Three LED screens with custom 150th anniversary content, lounge vignettes with illuminated furniture, copper flatware and purple linens, fresh floral centerpieces, string lighting, and branded campus signage throughout.

Westminster Gala — The Outcome

A Campus Transformed, a Milestone Honored

Westminster's courtyard became a full gala venue. Guests moved through cocktail hour, dinner under the trees, and a scholarship presentation anchored by three production screens — in an environment worthy of 150 years.
