Kate Whelan Events

Guidelines are on their way...

Via @californiaeventscoalition It’s coming! This just received from the Governor’s office yesterday! The CEC has two big meetings with the state in the next two weeks and we are feeling really hopeful. April 1st looks to be the target date for new guidelines for gatherings. #savecaliforniaevents #liveeventscoalition #californiaeventscoalition #lightattheendofthetunnel

This lovely little backyard elopement was held in September for our beloved clients Katie and Clayton. While we can't wait to celebrate with them next year in Mendocino, we loved seeing these happy smiles surrounded by their loved ones. Captured by @gagandhimanphotography. #teamkwe #katewhelanvents

You may have noticed that we haven't posted for a while. To be honest, we have been missing our events and clients so incredibly much these past few months. We hit a wall. We had many clients elope and it was fantastic because #lovewins despite covid - but it was also bittersweet. We had already built relationships with these wonderful clients and while we begged each of them for photos, so that we could see how happy and wonderful their elopement was (despite our not being a...ble to be there), we were too heartbroken to actually post them, as we had promised. So today, although still heartbroken that we were unable to celebrate alongside these clients, we are posting these lovely photos of these lovely humans we have the pleasure of calling our clients. We look forward to celebrating with them in 2021 - but for today, let's let #lovewin again. Congrats to the absolutely fantastic Ali and Sam! We're so sorry we couldn't be there with you - but your 2021 reception is going to be nothing short of incredible! Captured by @coreyfoxphotography #teamkwe #katewhelanevents See more

We love it when our clients allow their bridesmaids to choose a dress that makes them feel beautiful! Pick a palette, a few shades, limit patterns or allow them - when they come together, it will be pretty magical! Captured by @milouandolinphotography. #katewhelanevents #teamkwe

Have you ever seen a prettier little tamale? We love working with local Chefs and @eatatlocalis did not disappoint! This rabbit tamale is topped with an edible pansy. Captured by @milouandolinphotography. #katewhelanevents #teamkwe

We were the first industry to shut down and we will be the last to go back to work! We LOVE what we do and we miss doing it! We miss making a living, as we’ve lost our livelihood. We want to safely return to work, for our clients, for our employees and for our own families. I’m one of 12 million Americans who work in the live events industry. Today we’re asking @mitchmcconnell, @speakerpelosi, @gavinnewsom, and @kamalaharris to include support for hardworking people like us i...n the next stimulus bill. Please vote YES on the Heroes Act and Restart Act! Make your voices heard - show them just how massive our Live Events Industry is and join our #WishIWasThere campaign. Find out more at @californiaeventscoalition. PLEASE SHARE! #SaveCaliforniaEvents. @ California State Capitol

#WishIWasThere Taking it back to one our largest installations to date. There were literally hundreds of staff involved in the production of this wedding. The first image shows the @elainebellcatering team setting the tables, the second shows the finished space. This custom tent installed at the @crockerart museum took 3 weeks to install and 2 weeks to tear down and it included 2 massive trees, a sculpture hidden in a drum riser and a custom restroom trailer tent. We planned ...this event in just about 2 months from start to finish and it TRULY took a village. Join us as we try to bring attention to the #LiveEventsIndustry to #SaveCaliforniaEvents. Post a B&W behind the scenes image, share your story and tag #WishIWasThere. @ Crocker Art Museum
