Emee is very hands-on when it comes to ensuring that events run smoothly. She's present at most events, checking everything from the podium notes ("lectern notes" if you're older than 40 😄) to the coffee levels.
As a corporate event planner, EJP Events understands the unique needs of busy executives. That's why we provide hands-on, professional event planning services - from venue selection to day-of ex*****on.

Via AssociationsNow: "Too often, 'introvert' is defined as insecure or shy, when it’s really just a different, less showy way of going about one’s business. That makes them enormously valuable contributors to your organization—and deserving of recognition for it."

Extroverts get a lot of the attention in organizations—and, often, an unfair share of the credit. Strong leadership means better recognizing how introverts also do their jobs.

"Weddings come with a long history of traditions, most of which are deeply rooted in cisgender and heterosexual norms. While no marrier has to adhere to these traditions, LGBTQ+ marriers have a special opportunity to ignore these norms and build a wedding that is completely personalized to them." via Equally Wed

EJP Events has some exciting news - we are now managing Landing Gardens venue rentals. This gorgeous private garden on the east side of the Willamette River just 25 minutes from downtown Portland (Oregon for those reading this in another country), has river views, a gazebo, and capacity for up to 100, all outdoors.
Working in Portland events for over 20 years, we know what venues can cost, so we've worked closely with the owners (Oak Grove Garden Club , a wonderful nonprofit) to help them create a sales program that will allow the gardens to have the level of maintenance this historic site deserves, while still being an affordable, flexible, and competitively-priced option.
Check it out and tell your colleagues who are looking for an outdoor venue! https://www.facebook.com/risleylandinggardens/

Happy Lunar New Year and Year of the Dragon! 🐉 As we embrace the energy and excitement of this celebratory time, we can't help but be reminded of Holly and Nikhel's incredible wedding. Their journey was a true fusion of cultures and traditions.

The festivities began with two days of joyous Hindu traditions planned by Dhillon Decor, filled with vibrant colors, meaningful rituals, and blessings from loved ones. It was a beautiful testament to Nikhel’s heritage.

But the adventure didn't stop there! Holly and Nikhel then embarked on a Saturday “Big Day” with a church wedding in NE Portland, followed by a wedding reception with iu Mien and Indian touches, at Crowne Plaza Portland. Multiple cultures intertwined with Holly and Nikhel's love story.

We can't thank Holly and Nikhel enough for allowing us to be part of their incredible journey. Their wedding was a true celebration of love, culture, and the power of bringing people together. We're honored to have played a role in creating these everlasting memories.

As we begin the Year of the Dragon together, I hope you see thebeauty that comes from embracing our cultures. If you're planning a special event, EJP Events is here to infuse your vision with hospitality and creativity. Wishing you all a prosperous and love-filled Lunar New Year! 🎊🧧
