Best for organizations that don’t have the time or resources to plan their event
As all great CEOs know, there’s a real cost to losing an employee. The best way to help your business grow and thrive is to consistently retain happy, high-producing employees.
Of course, this can feel easier said than done at times. With deadlines always looming, new initiatives to roll out, and each employee’s work load already maxed, there doesn’t seem to be much room for fun and celebration.
That’s where we come in. We specialize in creating morale-boosting, wow-worthy events that are critical to ultimately growing your bottom line.

corporate Event management philosophy
Your venue coordinator represents the venue, while I represent you and your organization. They help provide access to the venue, manage internal staff, and maintains accountability if anything gets broken. Most venues still require you to have a day-of coordinator of your own to oversee all moving parts of the day and assist with vision, design, set-up, and clean-up. That’s what we do!
If the venue or hotel coordinator doesn’t deliver on something that is contracted, as your corporate event planner, it’s my responsibility to make sure that they are held accountable and that you are fairly and accurately charged for your event.
While some planners may have a set number of hours they’ll spend at your venue, my team will be present from the first moment you need us until the last vendor departs to ensure your event goes off without a hitch. We’re your eyes and ears from set up to strike during your event.
Yes! Your internal team has likely planned all of your corporate events to date–but they don’t get the same opportunity as your other employees to network, enjoy the guest speakers and attend the Happy Hours because they are busy doing the behind-the-scenes work to ensure success. With SwaLaRue augmenting your internal team, we can assist with anything from Registration Tables to researching vendors for the project and handling all of the behind-the-scenes duties the day of your event.
Our event design process involves gathering an understanding of your corporate culture, values, interests, season of event, event scope and purpose, and then infusing YOUR ORGANIZATION into your event using all 5 senses. We pay attention to everything from where your reception table is located to the thank you gifts attendees will receive. We help you tell your story and achieve event goals in a highly personalized way. Event planning rather, is focused on concept, schedule, coordination, management, and execution of all vendors, event timeline and budget for your event.
01. what is the difference between event planning and event design?
Yes and we love to do so! We are based in the Greater Houston area and have experience with weddings and events on the East, West, Third Coast and Caribbean. A few of our locations we've executed events include: NYC, Washington D.C., Orlando, New Orleans, Dallas, Las Vegas, Mexico and Jamaica.

You may find the answer here.
02. Can you work with our internal team?
04. What if I have a hotel or venue coordinator?
03. How many hours are you and your team on-site the day-of the event?
05. What if I need more than a day-of coordinator, but not full-service?

Anshwa's services are first-class! She provides timely proposals, in-depth analysis, and top performance during event execution. What I loved most about working with Anshwa was her can-do attitude and ability to work so well under pressure. She kept our clients informed and made sure we were abreast of any and all changes or requests for information in real time. I cannot wait to work with Anshwa on our next event!
"First-ClaSs!"

I hired SwaLaRue Events to coordinate the prom for the high school where I teach. After the students narrowed down their theme, Anshwa ran with it and came back with some amazing ideas. The students were in awe and so were the faculty and administrators! I believe one of the most memorable highlights (there were many) of the evening for the students was seeing their names on the dance floor. The kids didn't want to leave! I heard compliments for weeks after prom. Thank you Anshwa and your team at SwaLaRue Events!

The goal was to bring everybody together and get them really excited about coming to our new building.
All the families came together and had a really great time.
"met the goal!"

Ms. Lewis worked with our corporate office as well as our CEO for the grand opening of our hospital, Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital of Katy. Always very professional and accommodating, she engaged local vendors, talent and restaurants to achieve the community feel that we wanted. Our grand opening went off so phenomenally that we are still talking about a year later. Anshwa was a pleasure to work with and we would with a doubt, highly recommend her for any event large or small.
"Still talking about it!"

I was amazed to see the variety of events, decorations, performances, catering, and setup for the grand opening of our new building. Tons of fun that seemed to go off without a hitch! Job Well Done!
"job well done."
