Whoa Events is a female and POC-founded event planning agency built for companies who care deeply about how things are done—not just what gets done.
The agency was created when our founder, Christina, saw the opportunity to bring a new level of thoughtfulness to the corporate event world—where internal and external gatherings are designed with intention and delivered in true partnership.
Today, we specialize in internal retreats, executive programs, and boutique conferences—serving as an extension of your team from first idea to final detail.
We’re known for our clarity, calm, and ability to think five steps ahead—without ever losing sight of the people in the room.
Every event is different. But our approach is steady.
People first. We start by understanding the people behind the program and the people walking into the room.
Not just yes people. If we think something’s not right, we’ll say so—and offer a better way forward.
Clear roles, clear rhythm. Weekly or biweekly check-ins, thoughtful timelines, and 2+ leads on every event mean no detail gets lost.
Discernment over automation. What we offer isn’t just answers—it’s judgment. The kind that comes from knowing your goals, your team, and your context.
Each team member brings something different to the table. It’s that mix—of strategy, care, and lived experience—that makes working with Whoa feel seamless and genuinely supportive.
