Today called for a very special warehouse wakeup breakfast. 🎉

We celebrated our owner, Kevin Hoffman, and his 70th birthday! Kevin began working at Event Essentials in 1980, and more than four decades later, his leadership and dedication continue to be an important part of who we are today.

To mark the occasion, our leadership team cooked breakfast for the entire crew. A chance to celebrate Kevin, fuel up, and spend a little time together during our busiest season.

Happy 70th Birthday, Kevin! Thank you for everything you’ve poured into Event Essentials and the people who make it what it is. Here’s to 70! 🎂✨

One of the best parts of Picnic in the Park is celebrating the incredible talent our local food scene has to offer.

This year, we’re honored to feature Chef Sean Pharr. As the chef and co-owner of Mint Mark, Sean is known for his thoughtful, seasonal approach to cooking and his commitment to locally sourced ingredients. His creative menus have helped make Mint Mark a favorite in Wisconsin’s dining scene, and we’re thrilled to have him joining us for this year’s event.

Join us for an evening of great food, great company, and a chance to experience dishes from Madison’s most celebrated chefs.

It’s not every day you get to help transform an airplane hangar into a concert venue. ✈️

Last week, Waukesha County Airport became the home of the Freedom Waves Benefit Concert, welcoming guests for an evening of live music, community, and celebration in support of Folds of Honor Wisconsin. The event helps fund educational scholarships for the spouses and children of America’s fallen and disabled military members and first responders.

We’re honored to help bring this meaningful event to life in support of Folds of Honor Wisconsin.

For Epic’s annual company picnic, our team helped outfit their beautiful Verona, WI campus with tents, tables, and chairs thoughtfully installed throughout the grounds to welcome thousands of Epic employees and their guests.

Every detail is part of creating an experience where people can gather, relax, connect, and enjoy being together. We’re grateful to help bring events like this to life!

Our team has been hard at work at Camp Randall, covering the field with more than 107,000 square feet of flooring and providing a variety of event rentals to help bring the AC/DC concert to life. ⚡

It’s the kind of work most people never see, but it’s what makes unforgettable events possible.

Will you be at the show this weekend?

Some of our favorite moments happen in the in-between. The conversations on a comfy sofa, the laugh over a coffee break, the quiet corner that feels intentional.
That’s what we design for. Your corporate event, reimagined as a space people actually want to be in.

Let’s build something that feels like you!

We're so excited to share our new design tool with you!
Join us for our live webinar at 1 PM and see how it can transform the way you design events!
