Champion Events Co

What Champion Events Co does

Champion Events Co is a Los Angeles-based, full-service event planning company founded in 2017 by Ciani, who transitioned from a decade of hospitality experience into event production. The company serves three customer segments: weddings and personal celebrations, corporate and business events, and non-profit/charity events, with each engagement typically spanning vendor matchmaking, contract negotiation, RSVP management, and day-of coordination. Service delivery is sold via tiered packages with a consultation included in all offerings, supplemented by customized packages for non-standard needs; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company is bootstrapped and founder-operated with a team of approximately six, including associate planners, a content creator, and a balloon designer, and has expanded operations beyond Los Angeles into Dallas/Texas. A distinctive element of the business model is a philanthropy commitment under which 5% of package fees are donated to a network of six non-profit partners (or to a client-designated charity), and the company has earned third-party features in The Knot and Essence.

Direct peers

• Calluna Events: Boutique wedding and event planning firm based in Colorado serving a multi-state clientele with full-service design, vendor management and day-of coordination — virtually the same operating model and customer profile as Champion Events Co, just in a different metro.
• Easton Events: Luxury boutique wedding and event planning studio in Charleston with a multi-city footprint, offering full-service design, vendor curation and on-site execution for high-end weddings and social events — comparable positioning, scale, and founder-led brand.
• Alison Events: NYC-based luxury boutique event planner producing weddings, corporate galas and non-profit events with a founder-led team and house design studio — directly comparable in service mix (weddings + corporate + non-profit) and boutique scale.
• Rafanelli Events: Boston-area boutique event firm producing weddings, corporate and non-profit events with in-house design and full-service production — same three-vertical mix and founder-led boutique model as Champion Events Co.

Broad incumbents

• Aisle Planner: SaaS platform purpose-built for wedding and event planners — not a direct services competitor, but the same customer (independent planners) and increasingly influences how small planning firms scale beyond manual workflows.
• HoneyBook: Business management and CRM platform for independent event, wedding and creative professionals — serves the same professional base as Champion Events Co and represents the structural alternative to running planning operations on manual workflows.
• Social Tables: Event planning and diagramming platform for corporate and social events (now part of Cvent) — adjacent infrastructure competitor that increasingly sets expectations for technology-enabled event delivery relative to manual boutique planners.
• The Knot Worldwide: Largest U.S. wedding marketplace and vendor directory — a key distribution channel for boutique planners like Champion Events Co and a long-term competitive threat if it expands deeper into planning services.

Emerging players

• Zola: Wedding registry, planning and vendor marketplace targeting millennial couples — overlaps with Champion Events Co's core customer and represents the platform-style encroachment on the planner's relationship with the engaged couple.
• Here Comes The Guide: Curated wedding vendor marketplace in CA/Western markets specifically — directly relevant to Champion Events Co's LA home market where the firm both lists and competes for vendor referrals.
