Creating an Immersive Event Experience: Art, Music, and Guest Magic with Sky Madden
This week on Elevate Your Event, we are joined by Sky Madden—owner of Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre and Executive Director of the Museum of Outdoor Arts in Greenwood Village, CO—for a conversation about creating events that are anything but ordinary.
Fiddler’s isn’t just a concert venue—it’s a piece of living art, a 17,000-seat amphitheater born from sculpture, sound, and thoughtful design. From the venue’s rich history to the 37,000-flower living mural, Sky shares how the team behind Fiddler’s has made art part of everyday life—and how that approach can transform any event.
They talk about why Red Rocks isn’t always the best guest experience, how Marjorie Park (once a detention pond) became a premier outdoor venue, and what event planners can learn from creating immersive, unexpected experiences—from fire pits and LED sponsor walls to champagne dresses and caviar on kettle chips.
If you’ve ever been stuck in the ballroom rut, this episode is your permission slip to think differently. Because when you design for experience first, everything else—including fundraising—gets better.
