Our Ethos

At Event Vendor Marketing, we believe our communities are built on small business owners—the scrappy entrepreneurs who bet on themselves and create a life doing what they love. Event professionals are the perfect example: photographers, DJs, caterers, florists—people who love to help others, love to throw a party, and love to make people happy.

Our founder, Trent Nusbaum, built this company with that same dream. After escaping corporate America himself, he set out to help other small business owners achieve the freedom of working for themselves—and never looking back.

We exist to give event pros the marketing tools and strategies to grow on their own terms, keep money circulating in their communities, and stand strong without relying on big corporations or pay-to-play platforms like The Knot, WeddingWire, Bark, or Thumbtack.

This is more than marketing—it’s about independence, community, and helping passionate people succeed at what they love.

Our Founder

Trent Nusbaum began his career in advertising, managing campaigns for national brands like Disney, CBS, and Dr. Pepper. At 30, he stepped away to pursue a passion for hospitality—earning his culinary education and working as a chef in fine dining restaurants across Los Angeles.

He later returned to performance marketing agencies driving sales for e-commerce brands and live events. That blend of big-agency expertise and hospitality roots inspired him to eventually launch Event Vendor Marketing, helping event professionals build thriving businesses doing what they love.
