About Events Crafted

Your event, guided with care and expertise, so that you can celebrate, not stress.

What we plan

Six kinds of event. One careful approach.

Each event has a different purpose, audience and budget. We plan each one around those three things.

The planning behind the scenes.

Certified expertise

Professional training in event management, applied to every event we plan.

We ask before we quote

We first learn the purpose of your event, then we plan and price it.

Proper site inspections

Power, supplier access, bathrooms, acoustics and exits are checked before you sign.

One point of contact

One planner who knows every detail and every supplier on your event.

How we work

Four steps from idea to event day.

01

Discovery

We ask about the purpose, guests, budget and feel of your event.

02

Site inspection

We check the venue for the practical details that make the day work.

03

Plan and suppliers

We book and brief suppliers, and build one run sheet for the day.

04

Event day

We run the day on site, so that you can focus on your guests.
