ABOUT ME
.png){kind=small}
I'm Angelika Bazarnik, the founder of BanquetConsulting.com, Certified Professional in Catering & Events (CPCE), and IATAN-accredited lifelong event professional with a passion for making the complex feel effortless.
With over 20 years of experience in banquet and event management, I’ve led high-profile programs inside some of the world’s most luxurious hotels, including Waldorf Astoria, Wynn Resorts, The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, and SLS Las Vegas. From black-tie galas and leadership summits to corporate retreats and multi-day conferences, I know what it takes to execute events that are as polished behind the scenes as they are in the spotlight.

I’m also a Ph.D. student at UNLV. Staying actively involved in real-world events is a passion that fuels my research and directly influences the tools I design for the industry. That drive to solve pain points led me to create EVENT-IT https://eventtoolkit.app/ a collection of digital tools to simplify event planning and execution.
I launched BanquetConsulting.com to offer hands-on, hospitality-rooted expertise to the people behind today’s most important events. Through our signature Site Selection++ service, I help clients find the right venue, negotiate favorable terms, and plan with clarity, while delivering concierge-level support at no added cost. Whether you're an executive assistant planning your first retreat or a seasoned event producer looking for a smarter way to source, I’m here to make your next event not just successful, but truly exceptional.
