Contact Us

Thread Productions is a full service event production company forged in the heart of Chicago.

We’re here to weave all of the pieces of a successful event together, seamlessly.

At Thread, we own it
so you can enjoy it.

Who We Are

We own an event from concept to execution

thoughtfully considering every detail along the way.

We own any challenge or obstacle

because we are problem solvers at our core.

We stand by the work of our collective

as part of our mission to work differently.

With the flexibility to build a team that becomes an extension of your own, let us show you what we mean by full service.

How We Work

The work we love

Your event isn’t just a job to us: it’s an opportunity to maximize the moment. Here’s to more great work with great clients who inspire us with their “why” each day.

We love producing events for any industry, but these in particular really light us up.

Nonprofit

because success drives work that creates more good in the world

Corporate

to celebrate what — and who — makes a brand memorable

Education

bringing together great minds to celebrate the advancement of learning

In the end, an investment in events shows that relationships are a priority to you — and they are for us, too.

I love working with Courtney because she radiates positive passionate energy and consistently brings strategic planning, creative vision and strong leadership skills to every project.

Courtney really breathed energy and fun into our event, making our vision of an inviting backyard game day a reality. Her team's years of expertise in the Chicagoland area made it all possible, and their commitment to relationships — especially with the event venue, in this case — made executing the event extremely seamless and a great success. I always, always, always know I can count on her and that nothing will fall through the cracks. That makes all the difference in this world!

I’ve had the absolute pleasure of working with Thread Productions as our event production company for many years. From our first event to the most recent, Courtney continues to be reliable, consistent, and such a great fit to help us build a better experience.
I always appreciate how she takes the time to understand what we need through discovery, planning sessions and walkthroughs with our teams to build on our strengths, spot opportunities, and help us deliver events that feel uniquely us.
Courtney coordinates with other external teams as needed and manages them directly so we can remain focused on our event. I admire her can-do attitude and partnership over the years.
