HIS HAPPENINGS: Networking & Connections

Gathered in the Wild,

WIPA June 3, 2026 - Quarter 2 Event

This June, HIS Events had the pleasure of attending WIPA’s Gather Into the Wild, an inspiring wedding industry networking event hosted at the beautiful Claremont Club & Spa. From connecting with fellow wedding professionals to hearing from guest speakers on the evolving role of AI and SEO in the wedding industry, the experience was filled with valuable insights, fresh perspectives, and meaningful conversations. We especially loved learning how emerging technology and search optimization are shaping the way couples discover wedding planners and vendors online.

At HIS Events, we believe attending wedding industry networking events, educational seminars, and professional gatherings is an essential part of growing our expertise and strengthening our community. These opportunities allow us to build genuine relationships with fellow creatives, exchange ideas, discover new approaches, and stay informed on industry trends. We left Gather Into the Wild feeling inspired, grateful for the connections we made, and excited to bring our new knowledge back into the weddings and events we plan throughout the Bay Area and Northern California.

HIS Review for Vanity Portrait Studio

"So impressed!! I have seen and used Vanity Portrait Studio's services at multiple networking events, and they are consistently professional, timely, and so easy to work with. Their team takes the time to pose each person, give them their full attention, and make them feel like a supermodel! It's a phenomenal service, and I would highly recommend them for corporate events, networking events, conferences, or any occasion where you want guests to have a fun and memorable experience."

HIS Review for Catalyst Arts

"We first experienced Catalyst Arts at a networking event, where they were stationed near the main entrance, made an incredible first impression and immediately set the tone for the entire event. We later had the pleasure of working with their team for House of Vibes at Brownstone Gardens, and they were wonderful from start to finish! The team was communicative, responsive, easy to work with, and brought such amazing energy to the experience. We’re so grateful to have connected with the Catalyst Arts team and can’t wait to continue working together on future events!"

Endless Epic Summer

WIPA August 20, 2026 - Quarter 3 Event

This August, HIS Events had the pleasure of attending a WIPA networking event in Santa Cruz, combining industry education, meaningful connections, and the opportunity to explore a new destination. We love making the most of every networking experience, and this trip was no exception. From discovering a new city and exploring local venues and hotels to connecting with fellow wedding professionals, the day was filled with inspiration and fresh perspectives. The event featured an engaging panel discussion on the wedding industry, offering valuable insights into current trends, industry challenges, and the evolving landscape of weddings and events. We especially enjoyed meeting new vendors, exchanging ideas, and discovering venues and creative partners who may inspire future celebrations.

At HIS Events, we believe wedding industry networking extends far beyond the event itself. Attending professional gatherings throughout the Bay Area, Northern California, and beyond allows us to expand our knowledge, build genuine relationships, and discover new opportunities for collaboration. We make it a priority to explore the destinations we visit, learn about local venues, and connect with the people who make each community unique. We left Santa Cruz feeling inspired by the conversations, grateful for the new connections, and excited to bring these experiences and insights into the weddings and events we plan.
