Great events ...
They’re a balancing act.

With live events, there are lots of things in motion. At Plate Spinner Productions, we balance all the elements—people, budgets, resources, and more—so you can create an event that entertains, inspires, and brings people together.

Why work with us?

Event planning and production

We can craft a tight plan, run efficient meetings, and deliver on the logistics. We can also talk tech with the AV team, trouble shoot equipment issues, and direct a live show from the production booth.

Direct, authentic communication

We’re friendly and fun, but we tell it like it is. We give clear recommendations and honest feedback.

Insight gained from experience

We know what works and what doesn’t. We’ll help you make the right choices along the way.

No need to hold our hands

Our job is to make your life easier. So tell us what you need, and we’ll get it done.

Calm in the storm

When things get stressful, we keep our heads—and keep everybody focused on the task at hand. Panicking? Freaking out? Not on our watch.

Let's Put on a Show

Let’s talk

Jackie and her junior plate spinners, during a visit while working Super Bowl events in 2018 in Minneapolis.

My name is Jackie, and I was born with a headset on.

Not everybody is cut out for this. You need to be the kind of person who can handle uncertainty, who thrives on pressure, and who keeps her cool when things go sideways. You need to be unflinchingly honest and direct, while also being respectful and empathetic. You need to be creative, but also tech savvy. You need to care about creating great experiences for others, but you also need to be relentless. You need to run a tight ship, but you also need to hold yourself accountable.

I’m all that and more. Just ask my previous clients. Or my family.

Why US and WE but you only see ME?

I figured you would wonder that. Thankfully, I surround myself with an amazing village of fellow plate spinners … producers, planners, creative directors, stage managers and more that I can call on to assist with projects as needed. I bring the best team to the table for each event.

It’s all about the balance.

A good event is a balancing act. A good life is, too. That’s why I love what I do. My work gives me variety, diversity, and excitement. And it enables me to live the life I want outside of work. When everything is in balance—when all the plates are spinning at once—it’s a beautiful thing.
