Recognizing Nationwide
Event Teams
Awards
Recognition for emerging and growing event and wedding professionals, businesses, and teams across the United States.
Two Distinct Experiences
Event Teams Awards includes two separate experiences: the national awards announcement and the Event Teams Gala.
Experience One
Event Teams Awards Announcement
National · Virtual Presentation
Award Recipients are revealed each year through a professionally produced national virtual presentation, so Recognition Nominees, Award Recipients and supporters can celebrate together from anywhere in the country.
Experience Two
Event Teams Gala 2027
Fall 2027 | Nashville, Tennessee
A separate, invitation-only, in-person celebration of connection, community and industry impact for the Event Teams Awards membership community, with Nashville as the home of the Gala experience. Award Recipients are announced through the national virtual presentation, not at the Gala.

Event Teams Awards celebrates work, growth, creativity, service, impact, and industry and community contribution through Recognition Nominee, Official Nominee Selection and Award Recipient recognition, profiles, digital visibility, and experiences where offered. A signature event of The Eventz Team.
