Last year I had the privilege to work on an amazing event for the Coca Cola Bottlers Association and specifically my client with Arca Continental Southwest Beverages on the annual meeting which was held in Houston. This caught the attention of Intents Magazine - a national magazine who put it on the cover of the recent issue and also did a two page spread about it. https://intentsmag.com/2024/08/01/customizing-for-coca-cola/

This event was very unique and had a ton of custom created elements. I am incredibly passionate about what I do and have been creating imaginative and innovative events for 26 years.

Could not have done with without these amazing partners.

We loved contributing to this article in Texas Meetings and Events Magazine about Meetings in Houston. “Most people coming to Houston think of two things: country-western/rodeo or NASA,” says Deborah Elias, president of Elias Events and a full-service event, meeting, and travel planner in Houston. “But Houston is the most diverse city in the country and has almost every country. There are pockets of the city that showcase that diversity.” The places and experiences available to attendees in Houston make it an exciting destination full of surprising variety.

Happy 10th anniversary to this beautiful couple. Anne Marie Henick Benard and Jaime Benard. This photo was taken at 10 o’clock at night on Lake Louis in Banff Canada at the Fairmont Banff Springs. We took a golf cart down to the water got on a raft in their dress and tux. You can’t see how furiously the guy was trying not to go into the current. It all could’ve gone wrong really quickly, but fortunately it ended up being one of the best photos I’ve ever seen this photos not Photoshop at all. taken by Steve Lee

It's so fulfilling when you work hard on a proposal and the client tells you that the proposal was the absolute best they had ever seen and blew away the competition. Excited to be working with Chevron on their First Oil Celebration for the Anchor Project!!
