The impact of Covid-19 and the drastic shift in daily life has greatly impacted us all, and the events industry is no exception. From the cancelation of weddings, conferences, graduations, and more, many companies have lost major revenue streams, some of which they rely on to sustain through the rest of the year. While we know we are not alone in feeling the economic and emotional impacts of current events, we are eager to show our support during these difficult times. Specifically, within our industry.
We know if we continue to support one another, act in solidarity, and refer business when celebrations do commence, we can all make it though this.
With that said, we wanted to highlight several vendors that are still open and operating even though they may be taking inquiries from their home rather than the office. Each of these companies have proven their professionalism, expertise, and reliability time and time again when working with us on events.

We know this time has been challenging for many reasons. While we don’t have all the answers, we do know we are stronger together; and that includes our collective actions to stay home.
We very much look forward to the day we are ready to enter the world of events again and celebrate with you all. In the meantime, please consider how you can continue to show support for small businesses. We are still here for you, too!
