Panoramic Event Design began as a collective of hospitality artisans, who recognized a common frustration within the event world. Time and time again event hosts would be forced to hire no less than TEN separate vendors to achieve one result. With that in mind we asked ourselves; what if event hosts could have those same ten vendors, but all under ONE roof, in ONE contract, working as ONE team? What a novelty & a game-changing idea that would be! And with that in 2023, Panoramic Event Design was born. Don't let our age fool you, the Panoramic Event Design Team has been an active part of the fine dining and high-end event world for over 15 years. You can trust that when it comes to hospitality we bring a truly panoramic view!

JANINA BOLLINGER
Owner + Event Director
Bridal Party Concierge
Craft Mixologist
Janina has been an organizer forever, a dreamer for always, a visionary for life, and a go-getter since day one! Her passion for events stems from her love of the theater, dance, and performance arts world. As a theater kid growing up she fell in love with the magic of the process behind a production. Starting from simple words on a script to becoming something real; fueled by a palpable live energy that brought people together. Everything from the costumes to the lighting, to the music, to the audience reactions, and all of the hardworking people behind the process, fascinated her like no other!
As she grew older she found a second love, as an event producer and wondered how she could combine her two loves into one exciting career?
Years later, with a Hospitality Degree in Event Management, a Lighting Design career, and a decade of work inside the top luxury event market - here she is! Still in love with what she does best; and here to take it all to the next level!
When she is not in event mode, you can find Janina out quad roller skating, dancing like it's 1969, working on her culinary & craft mixology training, analyzing films and TV series for deeper meanings, and traveling the world with her hubby!
