Thrilled to share that Perfectly Planned Events was honored with TWO PACE Awards from ILEA Indiana!

🏆 Best Not for Profit Event
🏆 Best Event Planning & Logistics for a Not for Profit Event

To be recognized alongside so many talented creatives and event professionals across Indiana is incredibly meaningful. These awards are never earned alone — they belong to the amazing clients, vendor partners, and supporters who trust us to help bring meaningful experiences to life. And in the nonprofit world, meaningful events are about so much more than logistics or beautiful experiences — they are about helping people. Behind every fundraiser and cause-centered event are lives being impacted, needs being met, and communities being strengthened. It is such a privilege to play even a small role in that work.

I’m especially grateful to be continuing this business in a state I truly love. Thank you to ILEA Indiana for this incredible honor, and congratulations to all of this year’s nominees and winners. So excited for what’s ahead.
