MOST EVENT MANAGERS RUN GREAT EVENTS.
WE CAN ALSO FUND THEM.

Event management, sponsorship, or both.
One team, no mark-ups.

We plan the programme, book the venue, sort the suppliers and run the day. We also write the sponsorship prospectus, make the calls and bring in the money to help pay for it. $690,000+ so far, and counting.

Take the whole package, or just the piece you’re stuck on. Either way, what the venue charges is what you pay. No hidden margin, no surprises in the final invoice.

A good event manager saves you time. A good sponsorship manager saves you money. But what you really get is one team looking after the event and the budget, so nothing falls through the gap between them.

Kia ora, I'm Tania

One home office. 25 years. 
A crew I trust.

Most of the planning happens from my home office in Martinborough. The days that count happen wherever your event is: a ballroom, a vineyard, a conference centre with patchy wifi and a projector with opinions.

I’ve spent 25+ years running conferences, retreats and sponsorship campaigns from the UK to Aotearoa, the South Pacific and beyond, with a few awards along the way. I bring in a hand-picked crew of trusted collaborators for each event, so you get the right people for your event, not just whoever’s on the payroll. Together we take care of the venue, the suppliers, the sponsorship prospectus and the run sheets, right down to the supplier who cancels the week before. Some of it is logistics. Some of it is people. All of it is handled.

The experience is nice. The crew is nicer. But what you’re actually getting is someone in your corner who’s seen it all before, so nothing about your event feels like a first time.

25+ years · UK, Aotearoa, the South Pacific & beyond · 1 trusted crew · 0 panic emails required

YOU HOST. 
WE HANDLE IT.

YOUR PEOPLE,
ONE ROOM.

THEN CELEBRATE.

Conferences

1 to 3 days · Up to 800 people

Forums, symposiums, AGMs, gala dinners.

We take care of the programme, the venue, the speakers and the sponsors.

Your job is to open the day and enjoy it.

The whole conference, or just the parts you need.

Retreats & Workshops

Team retreats · Workshops · Company getaways

When did your team last spend a day together that wasn’t in a meeting room?

We find the place, plan the sessions and sort the food.

Your people come home closer, and a little more rested.

Martinborough, or wherever your team is.

Sponsors rarely come to you.

We go to them: writing the prospectus, making the calls and looking after partners so they come back next year.

$690,000+ raised, and counting.

Sponsors who come back next year.

They hosted. We handled it.
