The top FOUR reasons you need to hire an Event Manager

Events are fun to attend, but planning them can involve a whole new level of complexity, coordination, knowledge and experience that can dishearten even the most determined of event planners. So if you find yourself tasked with organising an event and you’re not sure how to go about it, why not hire an event manager?

Event managers like us live and breathe the craziness of organising events. It’s both our jobs and our passions! And there are multiple ways in which we can make hosting an event an enjoyable, fulfilling and stress-free experience.

1. Event managers can save you time

Do you know the best venue in town to host a 700 guest gala ball? How about the best local band to cover a medley of Britney’s greatest hits? Or who in your area would be willing to bake up a thousand heart shaped cookies to go?

Event managers have spent their careers scouting for the coolest venues, most reliable suppliers and best deals to ensure all events reach their full potential. We have a wealth of industry connections and supplier relationships at our hands so that when you share your vision with us, we are ready to jump straight into things on your behalf.

2. Event managers can save you money

We’ve been in the game long enough to know how to get you the best deal. If you come to us with an iron set budget that can’t be tampered with, we’ll employ all of our tricks to honour these constraints.

We can also make sure you don’t waste money on little mistakes that might eventually cost you big time. Hidden hire fees, council laws, labour costs and delivery services can end up costing you dearly if you don’t know what to look for. We can navigate this minefield for you.

3. Event managers can help you with crisis prevention and risk assessment

From wild weather to unwelcome wildlife to global pandemics, we’ve seen our fair share of curveballs during our 25+ years of industry experience. Our past experience, coupled with our thorough planning methods and critical risk assessment allows us to prevent any potential hiccups from derailing your event.

Additionally, we take the time to rigorously analyse the safety of all event elements from every angle, allowing you peace of mind that the welfare of your guests is well looked after.

4. Less stress

Perhaps the biggest benefit of hiring an event manager is the fact that you get to enjoy your event as much as your guests. We will happily oversee everything from bump in to bump out, giving you time to get yourself ready for your big night.

Professionally dressed and unobtrusive, we’ll watch over your event from the sidelines as it happens, allowing you to have a drink and put your feet up like you deserve.

If you’re considering hiring an event manager for your next big celebration, conference, fundraiser or party, get in touch with the team at Keito Events to discuss the possibilities. Give us a call on 0466 395 689 or shoot us an email at [email protected].

From the moment you were involved with the planning of our function I knew it was going to be a success. On the night you and your staff made the event flow seamlessly and our 300 guests have since passed very favourable comments regarding the night and the launch of our new office and identity.

From our perspective we loved the activation, how it presented and stood out on the day. We were really happy with the bus positioning too. Keito were also so easy to work with, so it was a pleasure.

It’s been a big year for us party-wise and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Keito to others…hopefully we’ll be able to work with Keito again. We have some amazing memories that wouldn’t be nearly as amazing if it wasn’t for Keito and the team.

We engaged Keito Events to assist with the planning and delivery of the University’s inaugural ‘Showcase of Emerging Technology’, an event held on our North Terrace campus and designed to engage the university community through showcasing cutting edge and innovative technology. Being a relatively large event (40+ technology vendors, 1000 attendees), and a first for the University, working with an experienced team in Keito was invaluable, and a key factor in the success of the event. Beth and the team were friendly and professional, and their enthusiasm and attention to detail made it a great experience from start to finish.

Beth and the team at Keito Events were fantastic.  They really added an extra level of detail to our event that made it run smoothly and ensured success.  Nothing was too much hassle for them, they were flexible, dynamic, prompt and clear in their communication.  I would definitely use them again.

I attended Juvare's User Conference in Brisbane last week, and I wanted to take a moment to share some feedback about your amazing team. Jade and Sophie were exceptional in every aspect - whether it was planning, communication, their positive attitude, or their attention to even the smallest details. 

They had everything covered, making the entire experience both enjoyable and seamless. 

It was a pleasure to be there, and I wanted to express my appreciation for the outstanding work they are doing. Keep up the great work, and I hope to see the Keito team again soon!

We enjoyed working with you and your team and Keito was a huge part of the success of Exercise Aurora.

I have never worked with a professional conference organiser before and if I’m honest I didn’t quite know what to expect.

However, watching Keito support Kim, Dan and my whole exercise team added proved that this was one of the best decisions we made during planning.

Your team were responsive, provided professional advice and took away some of the administrative burden that we have carried at previous national exercises.

Because of Keito, NEMA was able to focus on what we do best and Exercise Aurora was an incredible success as a result.
