Martinis in a Coat Closet

by stacy5i

Welcome to the wild ride of corporate event planning, where the spreadsheets are perfect, the centerpieces sometimes catch fire, and the martinis are best enjoyed in a coat closet when the chaos finally ends. Join Stacy Ringer and the Ideas NW crew as they spill the tea (and sometimes the vodka) on the adventures and misadventures of pulling off events that look flawless to attendees but often feel like a circus behind the curtain. From clients-turned-friends to last-minute disasters that somehow become epic wins, this podcast dives into what to do, what not to do, and how to laugh (and maybe cry) your way through it all. Think of it as group therapy with a side of sarcasm, stories that are way too real, and just enough insider tips to make you feel like part of the team. Because in the end? The best-laid plans rarely go as planned, but the outcomes—like the stories—are unforgettable.
