Events Crafted: crafting experiences Plan your event
Home / How We Work

A clear process, so that event day is calm.

Good event coordination means thinking ahead, asking questions and finding possible problems before they happen. This is how we do it.

01

Discovery

We start with questions: the purpose of the event, your guests, the date, the budget and the feel that you want.

  • A call or meeting with Larissa
  • Purpose, guest count and budget confirmed
  • First ideas for venue and format
02

Quote and site inspection

We send a clear quote. When you accept it, we inspect the venue options and check the practical details.

  • Itemised quote with our fee and supplier costs
  • Venue visits and the six-point site inspection
  • Venue booked and confirmed
03

Planning and suppliers

We book and brief every supplier and build one run sheet for the day.

  • Catering, décor, AV, entertainment and transport
  • Guest list, invitations and RSVPs
  • A run sheet that every supplier receives
04

Event day

We arrive first and leave last. We manage set-up, timing, suppliers and any problem on the day.

  • Set-up and supplier check-in
  • Programme and timing managed on site
  • Breakdown and a short debrief with you
The site inspection checklist

What we check at every venue.

Power and backup

Where the power points are, how much load they take, and what happens during load shedding.

Supplier access

Loading areas, delivery times and the route from the truck to the room.

Bathrooms and parking

Enough of both for your guest count, and easy to find.

Kitchen and acoustics

Space for the caterer, and a room where speeches can be heard.

Accessibility and flow

Step-free routes, and how guests move from arrival to their seats.

Emergency exits

Clear, marked exits and a plan that keeps everyone safe.

Questions

Frequently asked.

If your question is not here, send us a message. We are happy to help.
