Meet the people behind the bookings!

No matter the event, audience or vibe, our booking team knows how to find the talent that makes the night click.

We keep booking in-house at Contemporary, which means that expertise is built into the process from the very beginning.

This team works heavily across local and regional talent, but their reach goes far beyond that.

Consider this Part 1. The rest of the booking team is coming soon

Even with a hundred things going on Kate Peterson is always ready to make sure every detail is taken care of! We’re still so thrilled with how this project came together and the photographer updated us saying pics and videos will be ready very soon, can’t wait to share more from this day 🧞‍♂️

Comment LIVE and we’ll send you The Live Moment Test—a free one-page worksheet to help you determine whether your event is actually ready for guests.

The Live Event Era may be here. But people being tired of their feeds does not automatically mean they want to attend your event.
You are still asking them to leave home, change their routine, navigate their schedule and give you something increasingly valuable: their time and attention.
That requires a clear promise.

Comment LIVE and I’ll send you the worksheet to make sure you’re ready to plan your next event. And if you want to make it unforgettable? You know who to reach out to 😉

Nearly a decade later, the runway returned with a reminder of how much creative energy lives in this city.
Designers. Models. Stylists. Photographers. Production teams. Guests.
All coming together to make STLFW feel like a true live moment again.
