What types of events do you specialize in?

We specialize in a wide range of events, including corporate conferences, brand activations, nonprofit galas, social celebrations, destination events, and immersive experiential productions. Whether it's a one-day gathering or a multi-day experience, we design and execute with impact.

How involved will I be in the planning process?

That’s entirely up to you. We can take the reins and handle everything from concept to execution, or we can collaborate closely with your internal team. Our goal is to make the process seamless, transparent, and aligned with your preferences.

Do you provide media services like photography and video?

Yes — our in-house media division, led by award-winning filmmaker Michael Vanderveen, captures professional photography, video, and post-production content that reflects the essence and energy of your event. From highlight reels to branded visual assets, we’ve got you covered.

How early should I start planning my event with you?

We recommend reaching out as early as possible — especially for large-scale or high-impact events. While we’re known for pulling off incredible work under tight timelines, advanced planning allows us to deliver the most creative, cost-efficient, and customized results.

Do you work with specific venues or vendors?

We have strong relationships with trusted partners across the country but are not limited to any one list. We’re happy to work with your preferred vendors or suggest the best fit based on your event goals, style, and budget.

Can you help us with budget planning?

Absolutely. Transparency and strategy are key parts of our process. We’ll help you establish a clear, realistic budget and make smart recommendations to maximize your investment while maintaining the integrity of your vision.

Who will I be working with throughout the process?

You’ll be supported by a dedicated team led by Beth Thompson, our Chief Experience Officer. She’ll be your main point of contact from beginning to end, supported by a full cast of specialists — including Creative Director Dan Cassara, our logistics and labor leads, and onsite liaison staff.

Do you produce your own signature events?

Yes we do! In addition to producing fully customized events for our clients, Inspired Events also creates original experiences under our Verve banner. Verve is our creative playground — a curated series where hospitality, design, media, and live experience collide. We build these events to showcase what’s possible when storytelling, production, and environment are pushed to their highest expression.

Each Verve experience is crafted around a theme, location, or cultural moment and is designed to spark connection, conversation, and creative energy. Guests include brand leaders, film and television artists, musicians, creators, industry partners, and more.

Interested in attending, collaborating, or attending a Verve experience in your market? Let us know — we’re always building what’s next.

Can you help bring a big idea to life, even if we’re not sure where to start?

bsolutely. Many of our best projects began with a sentence, a feeling, or a bold “what if?” We thrive in the space between vision and execution — helping you shape the idea, build the concept, and turn it into something real. Our team will guide you through every step, from creative direction and storytelling to logistics and production. If you’ve got the spark, we’ll bring the fire.

How does Inspired Events approach design?

Design is at the heart of every Inspired production. From stage design and spatial layouts to environmental storytelling and branded elements, our design process is immersive and intentional. We don’t just decorate spaces — we transform them. Every visual touchpoint is crafted to enhance the guest experience, evoke emotion, and align with your vision and goals. Whether minimalist or maximalist, every detail has a purpose.

What sets Inspired Events apart?

We combine world-class creativity with airtight logistics. Our team brings a unique blend of vision, precision, and poise under pressure — producing events that are as flawlessly executed as they are visually stunning. We don’t just plan events. We design experiences that connect, captivate, and inspire.
