The Gala Planner's Problem

The night happens once. You can't do it over.

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

The pieces that make donor nights work.

CH.01

Polished AV.

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.

CH.02

Multi-cam keynote + award capture.

When your honorees and speakers take the stage, we have multiple cameras on them.

CH.03

Donor video playback.

We work with whatever donor-impact video your team has prepared. We make sure it plays clean, on cue, with the audio mixed to the room.

CH.04

Event photography.

Wide candid coverage plus the donor moments your annual report needs. Edited and delivered within 72 hours.

CH.05

Recap reel.

Two to three minutes that capture what the night actually felt like. In your inbox within 48 hours. Your communications team posts the cut Monday morning.

CH.06

Headshot booth.

Optional — but if you want updated headshots for every board member walking through the door, we can set it up during cocktail hour.

A 350-attendee nonprofit gala. Full event marketing and videography. The kind of donor night where every minute of the program counts and the recap needs to drive next year's campaign.

“They were all-in and had a real desire to make sure we were happy with the event's outcome.”
