We’re here to weave all of the pieces of a successful event together, seamlessly.
We cut our teeth in the event agency world. Taking it all with us, we’re redefining what client partnership looks like: the warmth of a close confidante paired with the assurance of professionalism earned through proven executional excellence.
We own an event for you from concept to execution. When the pressure piles on, we’re here to take it off. Combining decades of experience with a pinch of positivity, a healthy amount of patience, and a dash of grit give us the ingredients to assuage any concerns. We’ve got “cool as a cucumber” down to a science, bringing method to the madness.
This starts with putting our client hat on each day, but doesn’t end there. We take pride in being perceptive, noticing opportunities hidden beneath the surface and finding ways to realize a theme that surprises and delights even the most seasoned marketing or event professional. We deliver on everything you tell us you want most - and even the things you didn’t know you wanted.
Here's what you can expect from our team, every time you engage with us:
A tight-knit, reliable team that’s always available to you.
Ditch the door of account managers, point people, or teams too big to remember by name. We’re focused on creating consistency so that we know your needs and your brand like the back of our hand. Less telephone, more dialed in. We also prioritize team chemistry. This means working with and for “good people” as a foundational principle – whether core team, onsite crew, or client counterpart.
Honest Pricing.
We’re transparent about costs before they cross your desk, so there’s no confusion on priorities, tradeoffs or implications – including our fees. We take pride in our scopes of work being clearly detailed, so that no changes or add-ons are included without explicit upfront communication.

Their recommendation means the world to us, and this foundation of support will help us go the extra mile for you, too.

There's something magical about business relationships that stand the test of time. Courtney and I met in the catering world more than 20 years ago, where she started her career. That shared experience has built a strong and lasting bond that has evolved alongside our lives and careers. We love that she trusts us to whip up culinary creations for some of her most high-profile events, and more than that we love getting to collaborate together in fresh ways, every time she tags us in. We live for these opportunities to work with great people, do great work, and have some fun doing it. It's the trifecta!

Collaborating with Courtney feels like a ray of sunshine. She operates on a system of trust, loyalty, communication and laughs, establishing a relationship that is open, easy and honest. Hierarchy never comes into play - the partnership is always about supporting one another and working together to figure out what is best for the client. What more could you want?

I have worked alongside Courtney as a caterer and consultant for nearly 20 years, partnering on small and large events in the private, corporate and gala markets. From outdoor amphitheaters, iconic venues, convention centers, and rooftops of parking garages, to large tents and private estates and homes…we’ve done it all together, big and small. As a vendor, I believe the key to the Thread team’s success is that they bring the vendor team together early in the planning process. Together with Thread, we are able to collaborate, dream, scheme, and plan together from start to finish. This provides for a continual and consistent work stream, keeping the client’s objectives front and center. The “what if’s” are answered and solutions are well thought out prior to the load in day. Courtney and her team’s proactive planning and organization minimizes event chaos which ultimately leads to a smooth guest event experience.
