Beth is a seasoned event planner with a strong background in development and hands on experience with theatrical production. Her efforts focus on planning and execution of fundraising galas, typically with a large auction component. As a planner, she believes in working with clients to find the inefficiencies and redundancies in their systems to create a streamlined approach, keeping the organizational mission in the forefront, while still throwing a great party. She also works as a consultant to help clients integrate their annual fundraising event into year-round donor development through auction data collection & analysis as well as creating comprehensive event sponsorship proposal strategies.

Beth has built, from the ground up, transcontinental Nobel Prize celebrations, multimillion-dollar gala fundraisers, ribbon cuttings, and every other manner of extraordinary event, supervising all steps along the way from site selection to contract negotiation, budgeting to logistics, database management to solicitation of sponsors. She speaks production tech, database, and decor with equal passion and aplomb, facilitating the creation of uniquely dramatic events-without the drama.

The Beth Sandefur Events team includes registration specialists, stage managers, professional bid spotters, and copywriters.
