It was a pleasure working with Elephant’s Delicatessen at She Dares to Rise Conference.
I worked closely with Tessa for pre-event planning and Liv the day-of. From pre-event planning to the day itself, their team was thoughtful, responsive, and genuinely easy to work with. Everything flowed with ease. And I received a lot of positive feedback from our guests how much they enjoyed the food, and from my team how much they enjoyed working with them.
While I was traveling, I heard about the fire at their NW location. And I drove by their restaurant recently. My heart sank.
Small businesses carry so much behind what we see on the surface. The long hours, the people, the care, the pride in their work. When something unexpected like this happens, it can be incredibly hard.
This is my small way of saying thank you, and also a gentle invitation.
If you’re planning an event, looking for catering, or simply choosing where to support… consider them. Share their story. Show up in whatever way you can.
Because this is how we keep our community going.
This is how we help each other rise.
