Blessed Events grew out of a realization that non-profit organizations often struggle to produce effective, successful, and profitable events. Sometimes, their events are successful, but at the cost of burning out volunteers and/or staff members in the process.

Putting over 30 years of experience in the hospitality industry in Canada at the service of these organizations was an answer to a 'call'; the result is a 'business ministry' that provides professional meeting and event management at an affordable price.
