We don't just work in Chicago. We look after it.

That commitment shapes how we work — the partners we choose, the footprint we leave on Chicago, and the way we run our business. Here's what that looks like in practice.

Environmental Stewardship

We work to shrink our environmental footprint wherever we can. A few of the ways we do it:

Eco-Friendly Event Planning

We choose venues and vendors who share the standard — from LEED-certified properties to partners who run responsibly.

Mindful Logistics

We move groups together — shared coaches over scattered cars, smarter routes, fewer trips.

Sustainable Materials

Recyclable, reusable materials for décor, signage, and giveaways.

Environmental Stewardship

We recognize the importance of minimizing our environmental impact and actively work towards helping to reduce our carbon footprint where we can. Some of our strategies include:​

Social Responsibility

Social responsibility, for us, starts with people — our team, our clients, and the city we call home. We focus on:

Employee Well-being

We pay our contract crews among the best rates in Chicago — because the people running your program should be glad to be there.

Community Engagement

We partner with local Chicago businesses and give back to the causes that keep this city strong — including our owner Katherine's seat on the board of After School Matters, supporting Chicago teens.

Inclusive & Diverse Events

A women-owned company building programs where every guest feels they belong.

Ongoing Education

Our team is accredited through the Events Industry Council's Sustainable Event Professional Certificate (SEPC), keeping us current on industry best practices.

Stakeholder Engagement

Your client data, event details, and billing are handled securely and kept confidential — every program

Strong Governance

We are committed to the highest standards of governance to ensure transparency, accountability, and ethical behavior throughout our organization. Our governance practices include:

Ethical Business Practices

Independently owned, so decisions are made here — accountably, with no distant parent company calling the shots.

Our Goals

We're always looking ahead. Here's what we're working toward:

Committed Where It Counts

We don't try to be everywhere — we put real support behind a few Chicago causes we believe in, and show up for them fully.

Local, Responsible Vendors

Building a Chicago-rooted network of vendors who take good practices as seriously as we do.

Reduced Waste Events

Cutting event waste further through smarter recycling and repurposing.

Let's Make Chicago Proud

Work with a team that cares how things get done — for your guests, your program, and the city we share. Let's talk.
