Get to know Orchid

We believe the strongest events are built with intention. Before we talk about venues, vendors, or logistics, we want to understand the bigger picture: Why are you bringing people together? What do you want them to think, feel, or do? What does success look like?

Our team brings experience across event production, media, marketing, communications, and design, giving us a 360-degree perspective on both the experience and everything it takes to bring it to life.

In their words

Good moments.
Great company.

“Kim has been an invaluable team member for coordinating our wide variety of events, from VIP movie screenings to investor presentation dinners. Her international life experiences and diverse personal skills (culinary, visual art, music performance, etc.) contribute greatly to her high standards and creative input on event planning.”

Andrew Lee · CEO & Co-founder, Amplify Asian

“I worked with Kim at the University of Texas on multiple campus-wide events. In particular, for 12 years, she helped lead a team that planned Rez Week, the annual week-long 24-hour-a-day event to celebrate Easter. Every year at Rez Week, we mobilized 200-300 student volunteers from 50-60 student organizations to host the most prominent Christian gathering of the year on campus with over 1000 attendees every night.

Kim not only handled the logistics and planning of various aspects such as speakers, musicians, staging, hospitality team, muralists, A/V and lighting, but also oversaw the design, marketing, and promotion of Rez Week. Her attention to detail ensured that this event, which took months to prepare for every year, ran smoothly and efficiently. I loved planning events with her!”

Justin Christopher · Former Co-founder, Campus Renewal
