My favorite part of event planning is watching my client’s concepts come to fruition on event day, thanks to the hard work of the Sage/BWF event team. When I’m not organizing events around the country, I’m either hard at work rescuing homeless dogs and cats or rooting for rival football teams with my wonderful husband, Andrew.

Hosting a Champagne Event on a Beer Budget

by Lisa Marie Czop on the topic of

It’s been a whirlwind few months for me professionally.  In November 2011, Sage acquired BWF Communications (BWF), and as Director of Special Events at BWF, I came along with six of my colleagues to Sage’s new offices in McLean, VA. Instead of a small townhouse stuffed to the brink with event supplies, we are now part of a 50-person staff on the spacious fifth floor of a lovely office building, which is quite a change of scenery.

Despite the change in office space and coworkers, my focus here at Sage is the same as it was at BWF… producing top-quality events for our clients.  Whether it be a 300-team soccer tournament or a GSA conference, the most common sticking point for every client becomes budget.  Almost every client I work with asks me the same question; how can we create an event that accurately reflects our company without breaking the bank?
