Galas
Polished AV, donor moments captured, and a recap reel that drives next year's campaign — under one team. We've been running Salt Lake's nonprofit and corporate galas for 13 years.

A gala is one of the few events where the donor experience IS the deliverable. The room has to feel premium. The program has to flow. The donor video has to land. The recap has to give your communications team enough content to ride into next year's campaign.
Too many gala planners spend the week before the event chasing five different vendors, then spend the night watching their event happen through a phone instead of with their guests. We built BW Events so you can be in the room with the donors who matter, while we handle everything that makes the night happen.
Every Gala Includes
Clean audio for speakers, sized to the room. Screen support for donor videos and program graphics. Lighting that flatters the stage without overshadowing the people on it.
When your honorees and speakers take the stage, we have multiple cameras on them.
The film that opens your program is the single biggest lever on what the room actually gives. We produce the donor-impact film start to finish — interviews with the people your mission served, b-roll that proves the work, pacing and score tuned to land the ask. The cut doesn’t just play in the ballroom. It becomes the asset your development team uses for board reports, major-gift meetings, and next year’s appeal.
Wide candid coverage plus the donor moments your annual report needs. Photos in your hands the next business day.
Two to three minutes that capture what the night actually felt like. Recap-reel turnaround scales from same-day to two weeks, sized to your event budget. Your communications team posts the cut as soon as it lands.
Optional — but if you want updated headshots for every board member walking through the door, we can set it up during cocktail hour.
