Announcing - DBI West Coast

Over the past few months, those that follow us on social media, have seen DBI popping up and being active in LA and San Francisco. Now that we have everything in place and both cities are fully launched, we'd like to officially announce the opening of Studio DBI LA and Studio DBI SF.

While the plan has been in the works for much longer than the past few months, we wanted to wait until we were fully ready to take on clients before making the big announcement. We have been busy training staff, sourcing local vendors, and building bicoastal partnerships to ensure no matter which office you're working with you are getting the same high quality of service we have been offering in the Washington DC area over the past 3.5 years.

Keeping true to our unique full event design studio concept, all three offices have been structured to offer design consulting, in-house florals, and logistics assistance. We are a one-stop-shop, overseeing creative and logistical details, and managing in-house productions.  Each office has a head designer, responsible for all things flowers and decor, as well as a head planner, taking care of logistics. But don't worry, while the core structure is consistent across the board, we understand how different each market is and are tailoring each office to reflect the uniqueness of it's region (more on this in the upcoming weeks).

This expansion could not be possible without the super talented and hard working DBI staff, both DC-based as well as on the west coast (fully jumping on board with crazy ideas is apparently an inherent trait of a longterm DBI member). I want to send a special shoutout to Brittany Olsen, who will be overseeing our West Coast operations, with a heavy focus on the LA region. Ms. Brittany joins the team with years of experience in event production, entertainment PR, music management, and social events. Her hip style and ability to "get it done" is already making waves for DBI and I can't be more happy to be taking 1:00A calls from this gal to chat task lists or strategy.

Over the coming months, you'll see more West Coast content appearing on our social media and blog. We also have exciting bicoastal partnerships that we'll be announcing when the time is right, as well as the launch of our a new website, to better reflect the new services and cities.

I want to personally thank our vendor partners in DC for supporting our growth, our clients who continually allow us to execute on wild ideas, and to the west coast vendors who have welcomed us with open arms. We are beyond excited to work with you all and to continue building long lasting relationships that nurture collaboration, community and creativity.

Meet Leesa - our event production lead/MacGyver. Leesa has been with DBI since 2012 and has done everything from hanging from ladders to get the right draping swag to spending 48 hours straight covered in crafting materials figuring out how to "make it work". Don't let her innocent look fool you - she's in charge.

Introducing: DBI Staff - Chadwick

Hello readers and happy Monday! Our studio is completely covered in snow, so we're staying in to work on proposals and some blogging.

Everyday this week on the blog, we'll be introducing you to our DC-based team. You see the final setup results but who's behind it? Let's start with meeting Chadwick - our newest team member. He came on board on the 1st of the year and you can expect him to see him negotiating between venue staff and our production team.


A HUGE thank you to Paired Images for capturing all of the silliness behind DBI.
