Two Small Businesses. One Shared Vision.

Our story

After years of building Duneyrr Wine and Beer Company, a South Loop brewery and winery known for its experimental fermentation, Tyler Davis translated his creative vision into hosting private and corporate events that feel immersive, intentional, and memorable. He partnered with Blair Woerfel of BW Studio + Events, a woman-owned planning company known for a planning-first approach and a fresh, intuitive sense for event flow and guest experience. Blair now leads coordination at Tethered, bringing her expertise and attention to detail to every event.

Tyler brings creativity from the world of fermentation, while Blair adds years of event experience and planning expertise. Together, they’ve built a space where personal passion and professional care come together to create truly memorable events.

Tyler Davis - Founder

Duneyrr Wine and Beer Company

Tyler is the founder of Duneyrr Wine and Beer Company, a Chicago-based brewery and winery known for its experimental approach to beer, wine, and co-fermentation. His background in crafting sensory-driven experiences through fermentation laid the groundwork for a space designed to bring people together through elevated gatherings. When he’s not creating new blends or fine-tuning event details, Tyler is most likely spending time with his favorite sidekicks, his pug Monty and frenchie Fezzik.

Together, they’ve built Tethered Events as a collaborative venue that blends beautifully designed spaces with the personal care and coordination that only passionate, independent business owners can deliver.
