LAPORTE & COMPANY
BIG VISION
FOR QUIET ICONS
Big vision deserves more than pretty decor and a plated dinner. We design events that say something—about your brand, your values, and the legacy you're building. If you're looking for performance, I'm not your planner. But if you want strategy wrapped in atmosphere? Pull up a seat.
For those who lead with presence, not performance.

OUR PURPOSE
LaPorte & Co. exists to raise the standard—not just for how events look, but for how they feel, function, and move the brand behind them forward. We create spaces that speak with precision, shift perception, and anchor influence without overexplaining. It’s not about doing more, it’s about doing what matters, with style, structure, and presence.
This isn’t just planning. It’s positioning.

Our Style
LaPorte & Co. is style without spectacle—understated but undeniable. Moody, tailored, and precise: sculptural florals, immersive soundscapes, rich textures, and lighting that does more than just light the room. Think rooftops at dusk, echoing galleries, and penthouses where the vibe is as curated as the guest list itself.
It’s not for everyone. But then again, it was never meant to be.

OUR
METHOD
We pull inspiration from travel experiences, architecture, art history, old jazz clubs, film stills, and the way a gallery sounds before it opens.
Our method blends structure with soul: a studied approach to form, function, and the emotional weight of a space. We design with a reverence for culture, context, and composition—because every detail holds meaning if you know how to look.
It started with a room that fell flat.
THE ORIGIN
STORY
Mediocrity was never the assignment. Blending in wasn’t either. If you’re here, I’m guessing you already knew that.
That instinct became a standard.
That standard became a business.
LaPorte & Co. isn’t just about events.
It’s a quiet revolt against “good enough.”
When you know better, you do better. And now I spend my days helping seasoned planners and high-end brands create experiences rooted in presence, not performance.
Thoughtfully built. Quietly powerful. Built to last.
People rarely know what they’re craving. Until you hand it to them without a word.
I'm Bennell
Founder, laporte & Co.
I didn’t always have the language for it, but I’ve always known what mediocre feels like the second I walk into a room.
The details are there—technically.
But the energy? Gone before the champagne hits the glass.
I’ve watched it happen. Sat through it. Got asked to replicate it.
But I couldn’t ignore what was missing.
So I started designing differently—
Curating spaces where presence is power and every detail is on purpose.
With tone. With timing. With intention.
The kind of work you don’t just see—you feel.
