Our Story
PassionMeetsPrecision
Sophia and James Park spent a decade on the Four Seasons events team, producing over 300 luxury weddings, galas, and corporate events before founding Elevate Events in 2011. Their philosophy is simple: every event should feel as magical for the hosts as it does for the guests.
Based in downtown Seattle, their boutique studio takes on a limited number of events each year to ensure every client receives the white-glove attention they deserve. With dual CSEP and CMP certifications and relationships with over 100 premium vendors, they bring an unmatched level of expertise to every celebration.
From a 30-person rooftop dinner party to a 500-guest charity gala, Elevate Events treats every event as a once-in-a-lifetime occasion, because for their clients, it truly is.
