Be Bright Events

Be Bright Events We help companies, coaches, and internal teams plan high-impact events and retreats, without the overwhelm, overspending, or missed opportunities.

Event planner isn’t your job title,
But suddenly, you’re leading the charge on a flagship event, a high-touch retreat, or major experience that represents your brand, and has to deliver! You’ve got vision. You’ve got responsibility. What you don’t have is the 20+ years of planning experience it typically takes to navigate the timelines, vendors, contracts, logistics, and curveballs at this level,

or to spot the costly mistakes most people don’t realize they’re making until it’s too late! That’s where I come in. I’m Wendi Freeman, founder of Be Bright Events. For over two decades, companies, coaches, and internal teams have hired me to plan and execute events and retreats with the strategy, clarity, and logistical support they need to run seamlessly, stay on budget, and deliver real results. Whether you're starting from scratch, stuck in the middle, or deep in the weeds, my team and I bring the structure, insight, and ex*****on to make sure your event runs smoothly, stays on budget, and reflects the excellence you expect.

💼 What We Offer:
✔ Full-Service Planning & Production
✔ À La Carte Support
✔ Strategy & Ex*****on
✔ Power Hours to tackle roadblocks and keep momentum strong
✔ Budget Planning, Timeline Management, Venue Sourcing & Contract Reviews

💡 Our clients don’t just want logistics, they want a strategic partner who can anticipate what’s coming, eliminate guesswork, and turn chaos into clarity. From first idea to final ex*****on, we help you plan like a pro!

If you make one wrong decision in your event planning, it can cost you thousands. Today, it only costs $222 to prevent it!
​
If you are planning an event or retreat for 2025 or 2026, this is the moment to get the clarity that protects your budget and your vision.
​
TODAY ONLY, you can grab a power hour session for half price! ​
(𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘶𝘺 𝘪𝘵 𝘵𝘰𝘥𝘢𝘺. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘪𝘵𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘣𝘦 𝘴𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘥𝘶𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘍𝘦𝘣𝘳𝘶𝘢𝘳𝘺.)
​
𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀. I hear it from clients all the time. One clause. One vendor shift. One pricing correction. One strategic adjustment. The cost of not knowing is always higher than the cost of getting expert support.
​
If you are negotiating venues or vendor contracts, unsure how to price your tickets, worried about profitability, or trying to map out your event without accidentally walking into avoidable issues, this is where everything gets clearer and easier.
​
And if you are already feeling behind, overwhelmed, afraid you are missing something important, or finally admitting you do not know what you do not know, this session is the fastest way to get back on track.
​
You do not need to take the call today. You only need to schedule it today to lock in the $222 rate. I opened dates through February, and you can book more than one if you want multiple strategy sessions at this incredible price!
​
This offer ends tonight. When it is gone, it is gone. If you know you need this, now is the time to secure it!

Event Planning & Thanksgiving have more in common than you might think. 🦃🍂
​
Hosting Thanksgiving is a once-a-year event, and it can feel overwhelming.
​
Who to invite, where to host, how to arrange seating, what to serve (and how to accommodate dietary needs), decorating and setting up, timing the cooking, and handling last-minute changes...it’s A LOT to coordinate.
​
Sound familiar?
​
It's the same with your annual event.
​
You can’t do it all, and you shouldn’t have to.
Delegating is what turns "getting through it" into actually enjoying the process (and the event itself)!
​
You wouldn’t host a big holiday without help in the kitchen, someone bringing the dessert, and a trusted hand to set the table.
​
Your event deserves that same kind of strategic support.
​

You don’t have to do it alone, and we offer flexible support tailored to your needs, timeline, and budget!

Real talk: Stop cutting the emcee.
​
Too many event hosts either cut it from the budget or hand the mic to a high-energy friend.

And I get it… but there’s a huge difference between hype and mastery.
​
A pro emcee doesn’t just read intros...they hold the room.
They catch the curveballs, smooth the transitions, and stay tuned in to the energy moment by moment.
​
Last year, I met Carrie Lea, and she blew me away.
Prepared. Present. Intuitive.
She didn’t check in and out. She was in it the whole time.
And it changed everything!
​
Since then, I’ve gotten to work with her multiple times because I recommend her to every client and every event host I come across. She’s just that good.
​
If you’re debating whether it’s worth it, trust me: IT IS!
And if you want an introduction, I’ve got you.
​
✨ Planning an event in 2026?

This week may be filled with prep, pressure, and a list that seems never-ending, but let's remember what Thanksgiving is really about:
​
𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗧𝗨𝗗𝗘.
Not perfection. Not performance. Not proving anything to anyone.
​
🙌 ​ Gratitude for how far you’ve come, even if you’re still in the thick of it.
🙌 ​ Gratitude for the people in your life who lift you, see you, and walk beside you.
🙌 ​ Gratitude for the little things we take for granted and don’t slow down to appreciate
​
So as the week ramps up, don’t lose sight of what actually matters.
This week isn’t about the perfect table or the flawless menu.
​
It’s about the people and the presence.
And the perspective to not miss it while it’s happening.🧡
​
Let gratitude be the thing that keeps you grounded through it all!

The biggest risk in event planning isn’t what you know...
it’s what you DON'T!
​
In event planning, it’s the missed details and small assumptions that add up fast.
​
The wrong contract clause, the skipped step, the tech need you didn’t realize you had (and didn't need)… suddenly you’re over budget and overwhelmed.
​
Strategy and structure aren’t “nice-to-haves.”
They’re what keep your event (and your sanity) on track.
​
If you’re planning an event or retreat, let’s talk about how to make it smooth, strategic, profitable, and stress-free!

Every successful event runs on invisible systems that make success look EFFORTLESS.
​
Strategy, structure, and systems create the foundation that fuels results and positions you to achieve stronger outcomes across every part of your event
​
Event planning is not just about the big picture.
It’s about the hundreds of moving pieces working together to make it possible.
​
Every decision affects another, and without strong systems, even the best ideas fall flat.

💡 Common event planning mistake?
Believing your Marketing Manager, Assistant, OBM or VA will "just figure it out and get it done."

They’re smart and dedicated. They're committed and talented.
BUT, event planning ISN'T their area of expertise!!

Expecting them to figure it out on the fly isn't fair to them, OR YOUR EVENT!

And that assumption? It’s costing way more than you think!
