Events Production · Est. 2018

Considered, beautifully produced events worth remembering.

Corporate galas, brand activations, and milestone celebrations — produced from our Chicago studio for clients across the United States.

Approach

We treat every event as a singular production — built from the venue up.

Marquee & Co. is a small team of producers who care, perhaps too much, about the details. We are venue scouts, vendor partners, run-of-show writers, and (when the moment calls for it) florists.

What we don't do: cookie-cutter packages or upsell decks. Every quote we put in front of a client reflects the specific story they are telling — and a vendor network we trust to deliver it.

Most of our work comes through word of mouth from corporate marketing teams, family offices, and a small number of agency partners.

Services

Corporate Galas

Annual celebrations, anniversary dinners, executive retreats, and partner appreciation evenings — typically 100 to 300 guests.

Brand Activations

Product launches, sponsorship hospitality suites, and pop-up experiences where the event itself is the marketing.

Milestone Celebrations

Significant birthdays, anniversaries, and family-office occasions where discretion and a memorable evening matter equally.
