Person Behind the Place Kristopher Jenkins

Kristopher Jenkins, the General Manager of Resonance Events, is excited to announce the venue will reopen on July 16, 2021, after a year of closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic. His passion for creating communal experiences is rooted in childhood memories of helping his grandmother in the kitchen, fostering a love for bringing people together. During the shutdown, Resonance Events made substantial improvements, including the integration of multi-camera streaming technology, allowing for hybrid attendance options. Jenkins acknowledges the challenges faced during the pandemic, particularly the emotional toll of postponing student recitals and the impact on local patrons. He expresses appreciation for the support from his owner, John Su, in navigating these difficult times.

Jenkins also shares personal favorites in Bellevue, such as local nurseries and restaurants, illustrating his connection to the community. He eagerly anticipates the return of live performances and the opportunity to collaborate with other local businesses. This reopening marks not just a return to normalcy but a chance to redefine the local event experience in Bellevue.
