Each year at Catersource + The Special Event, we turn to the best industry partners to bring you our spectacular Showcasing Events. Here's a look at the people making these events come to life!
Oniki Hardtman
INDUSTRY ROLE: Founder & Creative Director, Oh Niki Occasions
SHOWCASING EVENT(S): Connect Social
FAVORITE THING ABOUT EVENTS INDUSTRY: Being a CONNECTOR! I love surrounding myself with other talented individuals within our industry and I network everywhere I go. My first thought is never "what's in it for me" but rather, "who do I know that would also benefit from knowing this person" and "how can I be of service to them." That's where true connection happens and long term relationships are forged.
FAVORITE QUOTE: "I drove by the fork in the road and went straight." - Jay Z
GO-TO BEVERAGE: New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc
LAST BOOK READ: Unreasonable Hospitality by Will Guidara
CURRENT FAVORITE SONG: HEATED by Beyoncé
3 WORDS THAT DESCRIBE ME: Genuine, creative, giving
LATEST ACCOMPLISHMENT: An EPIC year as the President of WIPA Southeast Florida!
