Our Services
What we love to do
-
Event design is “the process of creating a vision for an event and then designing all of the visual details to transform [a] space and tie it all together.”
We love designing events that bring your brand to life.
But, how do we do this?
We take a 360 approach when creating your event.
We zoom out to focus on your event vision & (pre-, during & post-) event goals.
After we understand what you are hoping to achieve & how you want attendees to feel at your event, we zoom in on all the microscopic details that pull an event together.
-
We are project management experts. We love organizing the hundreds of “to dos” required to seamlessly execute an event.
This includes (but is not limited to):
Budget: We keep a close eye on your budget to ensure we are hitting your goals.
Venue: Venues are some of our closest partners & we work directly with them on F&B, AV, room blocks, venue limitations & more.
Meetings: Our team meets with you on a regular basis (fortnightly, weekly or biweekly) to track progress & crucial deadlines.
Onsite + Event Flow: We create comprehensive Run of Shows to guarantee that no detail is forgotten. We are event ninjas, keeping track of every partner, vendor & detail that makes your event impeccable.
Miscellaneous: We handle everything under the sun. If you have an out-of-the-box idea, we are here to bring that idea to life.
Additionally, at Whoa Events, we assign 2+ project managers to each event because we believe redundancy guarantees the ball is never dropped.
-
We wholeheartedly love venues & venue sourcing. Wherever we travel, we are imagining how a hotel, restaurant, or event space could work for a future event.
Venue Sourcing + Negotiating:
Whether your venue criteria is vague or specific, we can help you focus in on what your event needs.
Once we have an idea of what you are looking for, we manage the RFP process & negotiate the best deal for you.
