Welcome to the Charlie & Sprocket blog, a vibrant celebration of the vendors and partners who play very vital roles at our events. This section is dedicated to highlighting the diverse talents within our industry through engaging articles and our exclusive “Charlie & Sprocket Industry Spotlight” series. From culinary geniuses and mixology maestros to innovative florists and dynamic entertainment agencies, we showcase the people and partnerships that not only inspire our work but also drive the event production industry forward. Join us in celebrating the creativity and collaboration that bring our spectacular events to life.
How we approach events in the past few years has changed dramatically. As the industry transitioned from live to virtual to hybrid and back to live, we discovered the resilience of our vendors who pivoted during the most dire times to continue that all important human connection.
The success of an event should not be measured by the size of the venue or guest list but rather the quality of engagement. The passion, focus and vigor that goes into every level of planning to make each guest feel special is the ultimate goal.
When running an event agency, our vendors are our lifeline. AV partners being one of the most integral. They dedicate endless effort to set the stage for a great show. That’s why we’re shining the spotlight on Charlie & Sprocket’s AV partner, Bespoke AV.
Innovation is a word that gets thrown around alot these days. But when you meet Franki Solarik, co-owner and Head Mixologist of BarChef, it’s hard to find another way to describe his bold approach to cocktails.
For event producers, the culinary experience is never far from our thoughts: what is current, how do we get it, prep and serve it? Learn how a chef-in-the-making since 13 years of age and with venues like Susur and Grace on his resume, Toronto chef Dusty Gallagher is creating dishes to inspire and savor.
