Bee Together Event Rentals Inc.

What Bee Together Event Rentals Inc. does

Bee Together Event Rentals Inc. is a privately held, Edmonton-based full-service event management company incorporated in Alberta, Canada. The company delivers event planning, event design and decor, event rentals, Purpose & Engagement consulting, and team building facilitation services to what it terms "heart-centred organizations" — primarily nonprofit foundations, charities, military associations, and purpose-driven businesses in Alberta. Its sub-brand Elevate operates a recurring nonprofit speaker and workshop series donating 100% of proceeds to charitable causes, and the Giving Back Initiative provides pro bono event planning to registered Edmonton non-profits with events under 100 attendees. The company's customer base spans healthcare fundraisers (Mental Health Foundation, University Hospital Foundation, Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute), corporate clients (JATEC, Komplete Modular Solutions, Sherwood Motor Cars, Dental Choice, Hillberg & Berk), membership organizations (YPO), community events (124 Street Business Association's All Is Bright Festival, Dream's Rock the Block), and military foundations (South Alberta Light Horse Regiment Foundation).

The business model is project-based professional services with custom quote-based pricing — no standardized tiers or publicly disclosed price points. Revenue is generated from one-off event engagements spanning concept development, vendor management, logistics, decor execution, and day-of coordination, supplemented by rental equipment supply. Customer acquisition is sales-led, combining direct outreach via website and email, organic social media (Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn), an email newsletter, a local directory listing (Best in Edmonton), community word-of-mouth referrals, and earned media (CBC News Edmonton feature). Distribution is direct-to-client with no intermediary channels; services are delivered by the in-house team alongside a vetted vendor network.

There is no proprietary technology platform, no AI/ML capabilities, no patents, and no external institutional investors. The firm was bootstrapped by co-founders Jocelyn Davison and Rebecca Schulte and evolved from The Virtual Effect (founded February 2018) before consolidating three entities — The Virtual Effect, Elevate by TVE, and Bee Together Event Rentals — under the unified Bee Together Events, Design, & Rentals brand in February 2023. Geographic reach is concentrated in Edmonton with demonstrated execution in Canmore and Calgary, and notable fundraising outcomes include $57,000+ raised for Kids Cancer Care.
