Why Inspired Events?

BECAUSE CONNECTION INSPIRES ACTION. 

Let us help you create an event that is:

• Seamlessly Organized: Show how much you’ve got your act together, so attendees focus on your services and walk away moved and committed to your mission, not talking about what went wrong.

• Stress-Free: Invest in a feeling of ease that there is an expert on the job who will take care of the details. Reduce staff stress, feel relieved and excited so you can actually be present and enjoy your event.

• Inspiring Action: Your events are your best opportunities to deeply connect with and engage your community, supporters and potential donors. Hiring Inspired Events to manage your event logistics means you can your spend time where you offer the most value, like producing quality content, making strategic connections, and inspiring your guests to commit deeply to your cause, NOT worrying about whether the catering is ready or the A/V is working.

"When I work with Jenna, I trust that she will do whatever it takes to get the job done. She brings such joy and compassion to this fast paced work, while keeping us focused on our goals and anticipating challenges.”

“Jenna was a joy to work with and on top of every detail. We especially appreciated her calming influence and no-stress approach as she helped us pull off a large event that went even better than we had hoped.”

— Jason Edelstein, Edelstein Public Affairs

“Thanks to Inspired Events. I noticed a huge decrease in the logistical load I was carrying, both in terms of actual work and the mental load during our planning process. It allowed me to be more present at the event with the fellows in a way I previously haven't been able to achieve. I was incredibly impressed by the level of detail orientation and ownership Inspired Events took of the event. Logistics went more smoothly than they have ever gone, and several areas that have been major pain points for us in the past were almost totally eliminated.”
