the team


TERRI EAVES

Founder and President

Terri Eaves has over 21 years experience in the event industry. Holding a degree in Art with an emphasis in Graphic Design, she joined the event field working for two DMC's, operating dine-arounds, tours, ground transportation, meet & greets and receptions. She focused the last of those years on VIP events for clients including Bank of America, Nissan, Toyota and ExxonMobil. In 2008, she opened Bash.

Terri has maintained relationships with seasoned partners in the industry, building a reputation as one of the most prominent and well-respected event planning firms in the DC Metro Area.

Terri has an admiration for seeing everything come together at an event and the controlled chaos behind the scenes - staging being built, run of show rehearsals, and the catering captain briefing his team.

Wendy Catbagan

Senior Producer

Wendy Catbagan has over 16 years of experience in the event industry. Soon after completing her degree in Communications, she accepted a temporary position in the special events office of at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. This position quickly became permanent and led to 12 years of planning events at the highest level for government officials, philanthropists, and celebrities.

During her years in the special events office, Wendy planned over 50 events a year ranging from intimate, 12-person dinners to executive board meetings to galas for over 1,000 guests. Her time at the Kennedy Center offered her the opportunity to also plan domestic donor committee trips, and an international trip in London for over 100 donors.

The creative process is what fuels Wendy’s passion for events. From selecting rentals to choosing the lighting scheme, she enjoys the thought that goes into building an event and the feeling of accomplishment that comes just before the first guest walks through the door.
