Meet the Team Our Clients

Angel Flight West

Endeavor Awards (2018—present)

Samuel Oschin Space Shuttle Endeavour Pavilion at the California Science Center and the Wallis Annenberg Building at Exposition Park

Angel Flight West’s annual fundraising gala, the Endeavor Awards, benefits charitable aviation, honoring volunteer pilots who donate flights to save lives, provide access to medical care, transport Veterans, rescue animals, map environmental data, aid in disaster relief, and contribute to the public good in communities nationwide.

From a jet fly-over to Red Bull Air Race pilots parachuting in to a spectacular dinner and program, this event is always a crowd favorite. Our team has worked with the organization for many years, assisting with sponsorship acquisition, vendor management, day-of event logistics, on-site registration, graphic design, and social media.

LOS ANGELES AREA CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE

Various Events (2016—24)

We have had the pleasure of working with the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce on events for many years, helping plan the annual World Trade Week Kick-off Breakfast, Small Business Awards and Inaugural Dinner, with notable speakers including former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, former Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, former Los Angeles Board of Harbor Commissioners President Vilma Martínez, and other VIPs. 

Testimonial from Jasmin Sakai-Gonzalez, former Director, L.A. Chamber's Center for Global Trade & Foreign Investment: “I have never met a company that is more dedicated to working on their client’s behalf than Belles & Whiskey. Through my work with the team for a number of years, I have seen first-hand that when it comes to event planning, management and strategy, they execute perfectly. Their understanding of corporate event needs, combined with their professional experience, makes them a perfect fit for any program. Their staff takes the time to identify core areas of need and then leads in a collaborative style, which makes B&W feel like part of the internal team. Last-minute communications are handled quickly and efficiently to make what can often be a stressful process smooth and seamless. A sincere note of thanks to Belles & Whiskey for supporting our events and we can’t wait to work with you again!”

Testimonial from Sarah Quigley, Director of Events, L.A. Area Chamber: “April was highly instrumental in her work organizing and working our registration for our 2017 Inaugural Dinner. She was always patient, kind and understanding in the highly stressful environment that comes with our most important event of the year. Handling the registration for over 1,700 members, April’s hard work ensured that our registration on the day of the event was executed swiftly and flawlessly.”

GERMAN MARSHALL FUND
OF THE UNITED STATES

Marshall Memorial Fellowship visit to Los Angeles (2014—22)

We have been honored to work with the German Marshall Fund of the United States for several years on its prestigious Marshall Memorial Fellowship (MMF) visit to Los Angeles. 

GMF’s flagship leadership development program, MMF was created in 1982 to introduce a new generation of European leaders to the United States. It now prepares leaders from both sides of the Atlantic for transatlantic relations. The program offers six months of distance learning and 24 days of first-hand experience on the ground to facilitate knowledge sharing and network development for effective transatlantic engagement.

Belles & Whiskey has worked closely with local fellowship alumni for several years to design and staff week-long seminars in Los Angeles for the visiting European fellows. They explored themes like social justice, homelessness, technology and competitiveness, goods movement, corporate social responsibility, and more.
