Whitegate offers full-service event direction, from concept through celebration. With over 20 years of experience in food, beverage, and hospitality, we also offer HR consulting to help you grow, whether you have one restaurant or a dream to open more.
Our Beginning
We see an event in the blueprints, and our passion is finessing it all: design and ideation, communication, sourcing, and scheduling (venue, food and beverage, music, lighting, etc.), onsite coordination, and anything else to ensure the show goes on. The intersection of obsessing over details and problem-solving wizardry is where we thrive.
We’ve earned over two decades of experience in the food, beverage, and hospitality industries, and we know what it takes to succeed. In addition to our event services, we offer human resources consulting for restaurants of all shapes and sizes, whether you want to ensure a new concept grows, or bring in a seasoned eye to level up an established business.
"I’ve thoroughly enjoyed working with Lara over the years. She never fails to deliver. She exudes professionalism while remaining down-to-earth and relaxed even in stressful situations. She’s a hard-working problem solver, a great event planner, and a capable cohort with whom to design and execute whatever meeting/event/celebration you need. Just a joy to work with."

Consulting HR for Restaurants
Running a restaurant is stressful. The margins are small, the hours are long and the rents are high. We have found that handling all of the HR workload, essentially doing the administrative “heavy lifting”, leaves restaurant operators able to focus on running their great restaurants.
