About Us
Founded in 2002, JTB Events is a Colorado-based event planning and management company dedicated to creating thoughtfully planned, professionally executed, and memorable events. For more than two decades, our focus has remained simple: provide personalized service, thoughtful attention to detail, and dependable support from the earliest stages of planning through the final moments of the event.
We believe great events begin with understanding the people and purpose behind them. Every organization, couple, family, and event has its own priorities, personality, and goals. That’s why we take a hands-on, collaborative approach to planning, building each event around what matters most to our clients rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all formula.
From corporate and nonprofit events to weddings, fundraisers, tournaments, and private celebrations, JTB Events manages the many moving pieces that bring an event together. We help coordinate the details, logistics, vendors, timelines, registration, and event-day execution so our clients can spend less time worrying about what happens behind the scenes and more time enjoying the experience they worked so hard to create.
At JTB Events, our role goes beyond simply planning an event. We become a trusted partner throughout the process, bringing organization, clear communication, and thoughtful guidance to every decision while helping turn our clients’ ideas into experiences people remember.

PEOPLE • PURPOSE • MEMORABLE EXPERIENCES
Hi, I’m Justin. Event planning isn’t just my profession. It’s something I genuinely love. I thrive on bringing structure to complexity, turning ideas into thoughtful plans, and bringing all the details together to create seamless, meaningful experiences. Every event is different, and that’s one of the things I enjoy most about what I do.
JTB Events was founded by my aunt, Jan Blankennagel, and I had the privilege of working alongside her and gaining hands-on experience in the business. When Jan retired in 2024, I proudly took over JTB Events, continuing the legacy she built while bringing my own experience, leadership, and vision to the company.
My background in customer service, banking, and finance also shapes the way I approach event planning. I understand budgets, financial accountability, risk management, vendor relationships, and the importance of clear communication. My goal is to take the stress and complexity out of planning by creating an organized, transparent process that allows my clients to focus on what matters most: their event and the people it brings together.
