Having won the prestigious Seattle King County Chamber of Commerce “KEPA” Award for producing “The Best Event” in Seattle (for its particular budget category - the Woodland Park ZooTunes Concert Series), C3 Events continues to produce it’s own award-winning events as well as provide support services to other organizations wishing to produce professional, well-attended events. Currently we are responsible for three art festivals, a free-concerts in the park series, a world and international performing arts and lecture series, a free outdoor cinema series, two large, popular concert series, and many other events (as detailed on the main page of this web site).  We specialize in event marketing, sponsorship sales, event planning, talent purchasing, on-site production, and equipment rentals. We have assisted over the years with concerts, lectures, festivals, weddings, corporate parties, fundraisers, private functions, dance recitals, and college event planning.  C3 Events has evolved over the years from a mom and pop cottage, in-home, business, to it's current state today.  There are many characters and personalities who have contributed to our success and survival over the years, including, most notably, Lee Perry (now an ad sales representative with The Source Weekly Newspaper), Bruce Reynolds (now the Principal of Jewell Elementary School in Bend) and Shannon Smartt (now an event personnel specialist in northern California).
