reFresh Events, located in Vancouver, BC, is a full service event and decor company that specializes in methodical event planning and high impact, tasteful decor. The company was formed in 2007 by partners Corinne Dahlo and Andy Boniface: a couple of creative, dependable professionals who share a strong commitment to designing well-run, efficient, zero-stress event experiences for public and corporate clients.

Leadership Team

Corinne Dahlo, BFA. – Event & Wedding Designer Corinne’s years of experience in theatre production and visual arts shines through in the décor and visuals she creates for events. She has proven herself as a resourceful and creative event designer and specializes in working with clients to amplify their style, source effective materials, and implement décor at the venue – within budget.

Andy Boniface – Event Branding & Logistics Andy believes that events are a cornerstone of branding and media exposure. As the former Events & Media Relations Manager for Mt Seymour Resorts, he put together a program of multi-day ski and snowboard events that put this family-run mountain resort in the national and international spotlight. Andy ensures that event goals and objectives are identified, understood and achieved.

Adrian Darbo – Event Decor & Entertainment Adrian has a creative yet classy sense of style that is in short supply in this industry. Clean, creative, thought-provoking, and charming are words that could be used to describe Adrian and his work. He is also the owner of Squamish based Refresh Sustainable Painting Initiatives and the leader of the pack when it comes to selecting an events colour palette and decor combinations.

Environment:

A principle that guides us throughout the event planning and decor design process is making decisions to minimize the event's impact on the environment. We are very encouraged to work with clients who are sincerely striving for a greener, more balanced event.
