On Saturday, March 22, VASEY came together to celebrate another incredible year of hard work, collaboration, and excellence at our 2025 Annual Awards Dinner. Hosted at the sophisticated 502 East Event Centre in Carmel, Indiana, the evening was a shining example of our company’s dedication to recognizing the outstanding contributions of our team.
From the moment guests arrived, the tone was set for an unforgettable night of appreciation and connection. Attendees enjoyed a mouthwatering buffet featuring hors d’oeuvres, freshly carved prime rib and Jonathan Bryd’s famous fried chicken, and ravioli in a marinara sauce for our vegetarian friends. Trimmings included Italian salad, rolls, southern style green beans with bacon and decadent scalloped potatoes, ending with chocolate chip cookies and brownies. The evening’s energy was brought to life by The Juan Douglas Trio (JD3), whose vibrant, eclectic performance set the perfect backdrop for celebration.
This annual event is more than just a dinner—it’s a meaningful tradition that highlights the spirit of teamwork, integrity, and excellence that defines VASEY. Everyone was honored: sales, project management, technicians, dispatch, purchasing, accounting, human resources, management, and most importantly the spouses and significant others of VASEY’s team members for their support. Each role is vital to our collective success, and the event served as a powerful reminder of what we can achieve together.
The highlight of the evening was the presentation of Service and Sales Awards, recognizing team members who went above and beyond in their roles over the past year. These awards not only celebrate individual accomplishments but also reflect the strength of our team as a whole.
