“It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look…To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts.” – Henry David Thoreau, Walden

Our Story
“Our goal is to create an instant connection with each client, providing honest and approachable services at a high professional and innovative level.” —The Walden Team
With some 60 years of event industry experience between them, the partners behind Walden have plenty of thoughtful ideas when it comes to creating the perfect party. When their paths would cross over the years while working at many of the city’s top events, they would often discuss ways to ensure both clients and vendors have a exceptional and seamless experience every time. From there, their innovative event company began to take shape. Central to their concept was bringing all the major components of an event under one roof for one pre-set price with no last-minute financial surprises. Equally important was taking what is often a complicated and stressful process and simplifying it. Its name is a nod to Henry David Thoreau’s Walden, a reflection on simple living in natural surroundings.
