True Elevated Events

Tru Elevated Events is an Oklahoma City-based business that offers customized décor for special occasions, including balloon arches, centerpieces, floral backdrops, and greenery installations. Founded by Da’Onne Bolden, the company specializes in transforming visions into memorable experiences for weddings, graduations, corporate gatherings, and proposals. Each arrangement reflects a commitment to detail, personalization, and environmental responsibility.

Bolden’s passion for event design grew from hosting her own children’s celebrations into a business grounded in creativity and community support. With more than six years of experience in event décor and a background in corporate operations, she has combined professionalism with artistry to meet the needs of her clients.

As her business gained momentum, Bolden sought support with strategic growth, locating storage, and strengthening her foundational structure. She turned to the Oklahoma Small Business Development Center, where she was advised by Business Advisor Greg Jones. Through this, Bolden refined her business plan, reviewed industry trends, explored potential funding opportunities, and developed strategies to leverage marketing efforts to expand her client base.

Recognized for two years of steady growth and community presence, Tru Elevated Events continues to expand its role in Oklahoma City. Beyond business, Bolden has dedicated her work to uplifting the community. By partnering with corporations and local nonprofits, she helps provide joyful celebrations for foster children, ensuring every event carries a deeper impact. Bolden and her team are celebrated not only for their creativity and skill, but also for the compassion and commitment they bring to every event.
