Founder Shannon Benedek has been designing and executing highly successful events for 15 years specializing in global corporate and non-profit events.
Shannon began her career as a fashion and lifestyle publicist in Manhattan often hosting branding and media events. She quickly realized that her real passion was in behind-the-scenes planning.
Since then, she has produced hundreds of events ranging from intimate gatherings to large-scale meetings, galas, and fashion shows in Chicago, Hong Kong, New York City, Ottawa, Palm Beach, Phoenix, Portland, Scottsdale, Seattle, Silicon Valley, Toronto, Washington, D.C. and throughout her home base of Connecticut.
She has a large rolodex of contacts across the country and is happy to conduct meetings virtually or in person and meet you where you are to create the perfect event.
Event Manager Lindsay Shurman has been successfully collaborating on planning and designing events at Arden Bond since 2018.
Prior to event planning, Lindsay worked in advertising in NYC for 15 years, with a focus on global luxury products at some of the most renowned worldwide agencies including Ogilvy, McCann Worldgroup, and Havas.
Since then, she has relocated to Connecticut with her family and when not dedicating time to event production, coordination, and management, she spends time giving back to the community.
"Shannon is an amazing partner who continuously goes out of her way to understand our mission, as well as our goals for an event. We know that we are always in good hands with Shannon. She demonstrates the utmost professionalism, while ensuring that we are getting the most value. I would recommend Shannon to anyone who is looking to create an event that will leave the guests coming back for more."

"I can’t recommend Arden Bond enough. Shannon and Lindsay take the time to thoroughly understand each event’s unique objectives and audience, and then deliver thoughtful, customized design options within budget. Their attention to detail is impeccable. Guests, sponsors, honorees, speakers, and staff always have a positive experience; I’ve lost track of the number of compliments I’ve heard about how tasteful and organized our events are. Arden Bond provides exceptional service all around, and they will always be my first stop for any event planning and design needs."
