At Connect Event Group, we know that creating unforgettable events takes more than just great ideas—it takes incredible partnerships. From florists and photographers to hotel sales managers and AV techs, our trusted vendors and hospitality partners are the behind-the-scenes heroes who help us bring every vision to life.
To us, these relationships aren’t transactional—they’re personal. That’s why we make it a priority to celebrate, support, and uplift our partners throughout the year. Here are five meaningful ways we show our love to the people who help us make the magic happen:
Where Beauty Meets Business: The Ideal Backdrop for Events in Chattanooga
Nothing says “we appreciate you” like a thoughtful surprise. Whether it’s summer succulents, locally baked holiday cookies, or wellness-inspired treats during busy seasons, we love to deliver small tokens of gratitude that bring a smile—and show we’re thinking of you even when we’re not working together on-site.
Social Media Shoutouts
We believe in shining a spotlight on the people behind the scenes. Through Instagram features, LinkedIn tags, and story highlights, we regularly share the work of our favorite florists, photographers, venues, and creatives. These shoutouts help boost visibility and show our community how much we value collaboration.
Surprise Lunch Drops + Coffee Runs
Planning an event can be fast-paced—and sometimes fuel is the greatest gift of all. We love surprising our hotel and venue partners with midweek coffee deliveries or lunch drops during peak event seasons. It’s our way of saying “we see you, we appreciate you, and we’ve got you.”
Priority Referrals
We’re always happy to connect like-minded clients with the incredible people we trust. Whether it’s recommending a caterer for a new corporate retreat or bringing a go-to lighting designer into a pitch, we intentionally build referral opportunities for the vendors and partners we believe in.
Genuine Relationships Beyond the Job
At the end of the day, we’re in this together. We invest in our vendor and hotel partner relationships by showing up at networking events, checking in outside of projects, and staying connected on a human level. Because when we all feel supported and inspired, the work only gets better.
