Your Complete Event & Fundraising Partner
At Eventgroove, we deliver solutions that make it easier for organizations to create successful events and fundraisers.
Since 1997, we've built our reputation on delivering exceptional online printing, outstanding customer service, and innovative solutions that make events and fundraising more impactful. What began as a trusted ticket printing company has grown to offer complementary services—high-quality online printing, event ticketing and fundraising platforms, and ecommerce storefronts that work together to support your goals.
Beyond Paper - Creating Experiences
We understand that printed materials are more than just paper. They're powerful tools that represent your brand and create connections with your audience. Whether you print custom event tickets to capture in-person sales, promotional flyers that drive attendance, vinyl banners to showcase sponsors, or branded clothing that extends your reach, these physical touchpoints matter.
By combining our online print services, event management and fundraising platforms, and ecommerce capabilities, we streamline your event planning. This means less time managing multiple vendors and more time focusing on what matters most—creating successful events that make a real impact.
A Global Team with Local Values
While Eventgroove has grown into a global company, we maintain our commitment to the values that built our business. Our virtual team—spanning from Montana to Buenos Aires, from Virginia and Los Angeles to the Czech Republic—brings diverse perspectives and expertise to serve our customers.
We take pride in our Montana roots - our customer support and success teams embody the spirit of small-town service while reaching organizations worldwide. Though we've expanded beyond our Big Sky State beginning, we continue to approach each customer relationship with the same care and attention that defined our earliest days.
Our Commitment
We back every product with our satisfaction guarantee because we believe in delivering excellence in everything we do. From our environmentally responsible practices to our dedication to customer success, we're focused on helping you achieve your goals with both economy and style.
Whether you're planning a small community fundraiser or managing a major event series, we're here to help you create meaningful connections and lasting impressions.
