For Addie Kramer, event planning isn’t something new.

“My journey really started when I was eight years old,” said Kramer. “I saved up all of my babysitting money to host an after-school party. And we had a DJ hired, and I had catering. We had a venue, and just like any young entrepreneur, I had to offset expenses. So I charged people to get in, even at that young age. But I’d always had this passion for events. My mother and father hosted parties for us when we were younger.”

Combining her love for event planning and a passion for servitude, she created The Event Company.

“We started out in 2013 with a 133-square-foot office, and we slowly grew over the years by adding another state to host events, and then another client and another client. Well since then, we have hosted over 450 events in 22 different states. And because of that, we’ve had the opportunity to help fundraisers and organizations raise over $11.5 million in that timeframe. So if there are big galas or runs or other activities, our team is a part of helping to shape these organizations and to help fulfill their missions.”
