Overview
Since 2003, Raven Events has produced, marketed, managed, and hosted various upscale, classy events such as holiday galas, theme parties, social mixers, and live music events, often benefiting non-profit organizations. Our signature events are held at public and private venues throughout Phoenix and Scottsdale. In addition to creating special one-of-a-kind events, we are also marketing professionals who can promote our events and events produced by others.
Venue Promoters
Raven Events can bring one of our well-known, well-attended signature events to restaurants, bistros, lounges, bars, resorts, salons, spas, health clubs, and private homes on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis. Using our full marketing campaign prior to the event, we showcase our client’s venue and business citywide. This service gives our clients potential customers on the day of the event as well as bringing them residual future business. Each party, mixer, gala, dinner, or wine tasting is meticulously planned with attention to detail for a guaranteed good time for all. Guests can count on enjoying a fun atmosphere with good food, fabulous musical entertainment, and a great crowd.
Event Promoters
Raven Events will help promote your event. If you have an event that is already produced and ready to be announced to the public for open invitation, we can help boost attendance significantly by providing you with our full marketing campaign targeting your desired demographic.
Who is Raven?
Raven Events was founded by the Valley’s leading ‘social butterfly,’ Raven Wilson, and quickly found success in providing the Phoenix/Scottsdale area with some of its most memorable gatherings. Raven, who is experienced at engaging the right mix of people in a variety of social settings, personally manages and hosts every event, making guests feel welcome and comfortable. The parties produced by Raven always involve fabulous entertainment and great music, especially live music. Raven is a big supporter of local musicians, and showcasing talented bands is essential to encouraging a better live music scene in the Greater Phoenix area. While presenting a fun party for guests, bringing more business to the local resorts, retail shopping and tourism, and showcasing local business vendors exhibiting products & services, Raven makes sure that a charity is also benefiting from her efforts during it all. The list of charities that Raven supports is long, and she does what she can to continually bring them to the forefront, one event at a time.
