Hello Craig Beckinger here founder and CEO of ABC Event's. Nine years ago I left my 26 year career with Darden Restaurants to follow my Dreams and do what I love. Bring others Dreams to life. Life is to short I lost my partner of 18 years 12 years ago at age 53. After the initial numbness I promised myself that I would spend the rest of my life bringing joy to others. In May of 2014 an ABC Event INC was founded and the fun began. I have had the pleasure of working with hundreds of couples, parents, companies, chambers,nonprofits and many other individuals and have brought their Dreams to life. If your planning an event need a gift basket, flower arrangement, or rentals for your next event give us a call we want to help you bring your Dreams to life. 

A native Floridian, Patti Sutherland, and avid animal lovers, Patti, and her husband Dick, have adopted and raised five Boxers, three King Charles Cavaliers and fostered/adopted (called Foster Failures) many others. 
 
In October of 2019, a friend shared a sample of a new health and wellness product.  As a long time legal assistant, she was always trying to lose weight.  The shakes were delicious and so good for you.  She and her husband committed to having a shake and taking an energy pill every day.  At the end of the first 90 days, Patti had lost 30 lbs.
 
This has had a big impact on her health and as she continued to lose weight, people were asking her what she was doing as she was running circles around the younger staff in the office.  Once she started sharing QuiAri, she found the extra income enabled her to retire from that desk job and become a full time promoter for QuiAri.
