Peak Events

Peak Events is a mother/daughter owned events company based in Flagstaff, AZ. I was hired as an intern by Jennifer Grogan and her mom, Debbi Grogan. They quickly became family to me, and all the other interns.

We lost Debbi in December 2018 after a hard fought battle with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. She was the most beautiful light in this world, and I am so lucky to have experienced time on this earth with her. I am so lucky to still be in contact with Jen even after graduating and moving all the way across the country to central Florida. I get to see her whenever I’m in town and we get to support each other through phone, text message, and social media.

Peak Events organizes two of the largest events in Flagstaff. Flagstaff Blues and Brews, and Flagstaff Oktoberfest. As an intern, these are the two main events I assisted with. We helped with pre-planning, marketing, set-up, day-of event needs, tear down, and so much more. We all helped organize merchandise, I helped sell tickets and merchandise, and I helped coordinate volunteers.

We had regular meetings, where we would communicate about our progress on assignments, learn about various event needs and get new assignments. We even had the opportunity to review festival budgets. I love planning and working festivals! It takes so much teamwork to make events like these happen, and it is so special to be a part of something like this.

We also helped with events like weddings, fundraisers, and casino nights. Peak Events is so special to me and I’m thankful to have learned so much, and gained more family through this experience. I would love for you to share in the joy and learn more about Peak Events, here.
