A weekend designed for restoration, celebration, and culture.
For the @bet x @naacpimageawards , Wagner Lane curated a hospitality experience where VIPs, executives, brand partners, and talent could step away from the spotlight for a moment and simply be taken care of.
Across the weekend, guests enjoyed services from 16+ providers including hair, makeup, barbering, massages, manicures, photography, and elevated food & beverage, creating a space that felt both intentional and indulgent.
We also had the privilege of spotlighting several incredible small businesses through our curated VIP gift experience, ensuring guests left with something special.
Special thanks to
@crowned.skin • @pearnova • @epochalcognac • @bronzeglory • @irisedwardcandles • @likeucards • @ilovethedoux • @medasecocktails
Moments like this are a reminder that hospitality is an art form and when done right, it becomes part of the experience people remember long after the weekend ends.
Proud of the Wagner Lane team and grateful to the partners who helped bring it all together.

I am honored to have played a role in celebrating the life and legacy of Reverend Jesse Louis Jackson, Sr.
Moments like this remind me why the work matters. It takes vision, discipline, and an extraordinary team to show up with excellence when the moment calls for reverence, care, and precision.
Proud of the @wagnerlaneproductions team who shows up every single day ready to carry the weight of meaningful work and execute with intention.
This one was for history.
What an honor.
To be celebrated in a room full of women who are shaping Chicago in their own lanes is something we don’t take lightly.
Thank you @coffeehiphopandmentalhealth for recognizing the work and for the Oat Chai Latte crafted in @nicolemariechicago honor (which feels very on brand 😉).
If you’re in the city, pull up, sip, and celebrate the women making impact every day.
We see you. We honor you. We build with you.

We honor the life and legacy of Reverend Jesse Louis Jackson, Sr.
A servant leader whose unwavering commitment to justice, equity, and human dignity shaped generations and moved the world forward.
We are grateful to serve on the production team entrusted with planning his Celebration of Life services, a sacred responsibility to help honor a legacy that transformed history.
His work reminds us that leadership is not about position, it is about courage, conviction, and action.
May we continue building rooms that reflect the values he lived by.
Rest in power.

Joy looks like this.
Full rooms. Little hands holding books. Big smiles, shared laughter, and moments that remind you why you do this work.
This day wasn’t about programming or production. It was about creating space, for families to gather, for kids to feel seen, for community to feel celebrated, and for joy to be felt out loud. It was about access, warmth, dignity, and giving children memories they’ll carry far beyond this day.
At Wagner Lane, we believe experiences can do more than entertain, they can uplift, restore, and connect. Watching this room come alive, seeing parents and children move freely through moments of wonder, and feeling the collective joy was everything.
This is what it’s all about.
This is why we build.
This is the work.
Grateful to be a small part of something so meaningful. ❤️

Every event tells a story.
And every story deserves a special touch to bring it to life.
This year’s @commongroundfnd Celebration honored Chicago, the heartbeat of music and culture. From gospel and blues to jazz, R&B, and hip hop, we paid homage to the legends who built the sound of this city and paved the way for generations to come.
@common continues that legacy, using his platform to uplift his community, inspire change, and celebrate the power of purpose through art.
Producing this experience was more than an event, it was a love letter to Chicago, its music, and the stories that still move the world.

We had an absolute ball bringing the vision to life for @gvf_elgin Grand Victoria Foundations Black Abundance Conference in Peoria, Illinois. This event was more than just a production, it was a celebration of excellence, creativity, and culture.
Huge thanks to our incredible team for the passion, precision, and energy that made every detail shine. It’s always a joy to collaborate with partners who share our commitment to creating unforgettable experiences.
Here’s to more moments like these!

Still reflecting on Day 2 of the WayMaker Men’s Summit 🔥
The impact of the conversations, the power in the room, and the purpose behind every moment continue to resonate.

What’s one thing Black men should leave behind in 2025? Halfway through the year. Time for a reset. @nickcannon weighed in.
Always a great experience hosting conversations at the @waymakerculture summit. Much love to @louiscarr@wagnerlaneproductions and @nicolemariechicago for putting together something special for us. Remains my favorite convention.
And to the consummate pro @brenciab ✍🏾 for putting on her producer hat - and a million others - last weekend.
Y’all can thank Brencia for that second question. I didn’t even know that kind of insurance was a thing. 😂😅
