Our Story

Growing a Work Friendship into a Dynamic Business Partnership

IMG_9031.JPG

Sam and Claire's desks were situated next to each other, and they worked together for years, developing a close friendship. Sharing an unyielding work ethic, determination, and sense of humor, it was inevitable that they would achieve great things beyond their desks.

​

Sam had proposed numerous wild business concepts to Claire, but one had finally caught her attention. As Sam browsed through FB Marketplace, she stumbled upon a true gem: a mobile bar complete with bar stools and portable toilets. A little bit of tender love and care was all it needed.

 

With their roots in Virginia's waterways, they named their event company Sea Level Event Co in tribute. In just 5 months they created a business from the ground up, all the while renovating what is now 'The SandBar'!

​

They are similar, yet distinctly different in the ways necessary to bring the projects to fruition while having fun along the way. Their combined experience in events – ranging from weddings, galas, and banquets, to expos, conferences and even cheer & dance competitions – spans over a decade.

​

With the Sea Level Crew, you get the complete package!

Favorite part about events?

​

Claire: I enjoy is working with logistics, thriving in fast-paced environments, and bringing the client's vision to fruition.
