West Coast Event Productions (WCEP) won special recognition, according to Special Events Magazine, as one of the top 30 Rental Companies in the nation! With operations in Portland, Bend and Las Vegas, they offer event equipment rental including tenting, dance floors, chairs, linens, props & staging. According to WCEP, “light up bars… along with colored glass plates and appetizer plates in offbeat shapes” are all the rage.

We use WCEP for all our Bravo! events… the Wedding Affairs, Bravo! Live and the Central Oregon Wedding Showcase and they always do an amazing job! Congratulations to Pat Smith, Duane, Joe and the entire staff that works so tirelessly to make all of our events beautiful and creative – they are a joy to work with!

Filed under: Associations, Event Planning, Portland Event Planning — Bravo Publications @ 12:45 pm

Charitable giving is the lifeblood for hundreds of local non-profit organizations, many of which form a core client base for most event venues, caterers, service providers, and planners. Join ISES Portland on February 24th for a lively discussion about the challenges of maintaining adequate giving revenues at these organizations, even in our challenged economic environment. How do they find new donors, maximize existing relationships, and keep all of them engaged through effective events? How can we, as event professionals, help? Our panelists will include Margie Hunt, CEO of Special Olympics OregonGina Fleschner, Co Chair of Share our Strength’s Taste of the Nation Portland; and Sharon Brabenac, Director of Development of Self Enhancement, Inc. This month, we’ll meet for networking, lunch, and education from 11:30-1:30pm at the Elephant’s Garden Room, 115 NW 22nd, Portland.
