OUR TEAM
Nonprofit fundraising events, galas, auctions, and event production.
We are a small but mighty team that produces some of the most successful nonprofit fundraising events in the Western United States. Galas, auctions, paddle raises, live entertainment, full production. We do it all, and we do it well. Our clients are organizations making a real difference in their communities, and our events have raised millions of dollars to fund that work.
We work hard, we celebrate harder, and we genuinely love what we do. If you have ever been in a room at the end of a successful gala and felt that specific kind of exhausted, proud, electric feeling, you already know why we show up every day.

OUR CLIENTS























Lauren, Lake Tahoe
Vendor
“Allyson and her team at Atypical Events are one of my favorite event coordinators and planners to work with. As a vendor, working with teams of people that understand how you work, are clear and concise, and allow me to do my job to the best of my ability without a ton of interference is key. Allyson not only gets what I need, but also what I don't need. They are incredibly organized, efficient, and always nonplussed. You won't regret working with them for your wedding or event - I promise you!"
Rachel, Reno
Client
"A good event planner is an investment that every not-for-profit should make if they want their events to succeed. Allyson Bolton and Atypical Events is worth every penny of that investment. Having worked with Allyson on our events for the past three years, I’ve seen firsthand how Allyson brings fresh new ideas to boring old events. She has a gift for crafting a vision and delivering an event that goes above and beyond that vision. From the biggest decisions down to the smallest details, Allyson has an eye for how to pull together polished and professional events."
Michelle, Portland
Partner
“I have had the pleasure of working with Atypical Events for nearly 10 years. They are my go-to partner for many reasons. Their professionalism, creativity, and expertise in the industry are a huge asset to our clients. I refer to Allyson as a Marketing Genius. She understands the nonprofit industry and knows exactly what it takes to create a successful event, both on the organization side as well as the guest experience. Her team is accommodating, confident and fits in perfectly with any organization.”
