First of all, we are professionals who do our job with the utmost of care and expertise. When you hire us, it leaves you to do what you do best – Your Job!

We realise that time and money are valuable commodities; we make the most of both for you.


Here are some ways that an event planner will help with your event:

Even if you are the type of person that loves to plan things and are highly detailed and organised, you can still enjoy the benefits from a professional events planner.

It doesn’t cost anything to talk to us about how we can improve or enhance your event…
You’ll be amazed at what we have to offer…..

Are you a Save*ologist

Are you a Save*ologist or do you just waste money organising events?

Are you a Save*ologist or do you just waste money organising events?
So many people ask us about why they should hire a one stop provider or event planner for their corporate function. After working with us just on one function, they start seeing the benefits and never look back. Instead of thinking that hiring an event planner is a big expense, we describe these people as Save*ologists because in booking us they have saved money and time so we have practically paid for ourselves and made you look good too! Here’s just one or two ways we can make savings for you;


Discounts through our partnerships and affiliations 
You’d be surprised at how many people simply accept (and pay) the asking price of venues at face value. By talking to us, perhaps we can suggest new venues that you did not even consider, or even get a better deal from the venue that you want because we work their regularly. This applies with caterers, DJ’s and all sorts of other suppliers. It’s a win win for all.

Discounts through Economies of Scale
If you are booking an entire package with us, we are able to look at the project holistically and question all areas of decision making, is this really necessary here. Can we double up on this and use it twice without anyone noticing. It’s all about economies of scale and looking at the project as a whole, which allows us to propose creative cost saving ideas.

Saving you time and sanity because you are dealing with fewer suppliers If you are dealing with several suppliers, imagine the sheer time you waste in negotiation, then selection of suppliers, then briefing them, then meeting them, then finalizing with them, then meeting them at the venue – phew we are tired just thinking about it!

Hiring an event planner makes good business sense
Not only in saving you money by handling your logistics, but also in preventing you from making mistakes that could cost you thousands of pounds. Here’s a poster that you can use as a screen saver, if you are a true Save*ologist

Eventologists – Their magical transformation skills showed no limits as Loughborough University mystically and majestically transformed into Hogwarts!

Eventologists – Their magical transformation skills showed no limits as Loughborough University mystically and majestically transformed into Hogwarts!

For the lucky graduates of Loughborough University, the entrance to a truly amazing and enchanting evening began by stepping through Platform 9 3/4 appeared at the doors of their Student Union last Friday evening! For those that wished hard enough, the wall magically opened up for them and transported them to The Great Hall of Hogwarts School of Wizardy and Witchcraft.

The hall itself was a spectacle to behold and if you let yourself go, it seemed that you really had travelled into another world! Candles magically floated from the star clad ceiling and flames roared from the lanterns on the stone walls. For those more adventurous, Diagon Alley was but a short walk. Once there the scenery changed dramatically and resembled the street where wizards and witches go to relax after a hard day's work in Professor Snapes class or to forget about the horrible Malfoy boy that has made their day all the more unpleasant. Butter Beers, confectionary and even being wed in the chapel was on offer here and provided endless entertainment for the Loughborough Students... and if you looked hard enough, you could spot Ol' Hagrid  tucking into some delights.

Even though the evening wore on, the magic did not end and characters from Hogwarts kept popping up as well as the more famous faces of Pixie Lott, Mistajam and Piff The Magic Dragon!.....the entertainment for the evening. As more butter beer was drank, people danced the night away in the Great Hall and some even found refuge in the Library with their nose in a book. At 2am (much later than the usual curfew in place at Hogwarts), the evening and another year at Hogwarts came to an end! This marked the end of the student's chapter as a Witch or Wizard pupil, but did not mark the end for the magic of Hogwarts.

How to Choose an Effective Theme for your Corporate Event

How to Choose an Effective Theme for your Corporate Event

The aim in achieving the right theme for your event is to aid and unite everyone's focus and energy.
After you select your objective(s) and have a written agenda, you should begin to select and develop your theme.
Here are some tips for coming up with a meaningful, on-target theme, which can create a rallying cry for your objectives and goals:
•    Review your meeting agenda to decide which theme best relates to your objective
•    Consider your employees- what would appeal to them
•    Remember the theme will have to appeal equally to men and to women.
•    Is there anything seasonal you can tie the theme in with for example Valentine’s Day, the Oscars, St Georges Day......
•    Make sure your theme is up to date with latest trends - it will be more memorable.
•    Very important is that the theme must be fun.
•    Once you've selected your theme, you must then see how it can tie in with the agenda.
•    Build every element around your theme by using references though-out relating to the theme
•    If possible, create a logo-look for your catchy theme. You can add this to hats, t-shirts, mugs, pens, screen savers etc.
•    Use the theme on all the literature.
•    Use prizes and freebies that fit with your theme.

Meeting Santa

Meeting Santa himself comes top of most kid’s lists of things to do at Christmas……

Visiting Santa in his Grotto is one of our favourite modern Christmas traditions. Is there a more amusing photograph than you as a child visiting Santa’s grotto and sitting on Santa’s knee?
Did you know the world's first Christmas grotto was opened in 1879 in Lewis’s Department Store, Liverpool and was named ‘Christmas Fairyland’. One hundred and forty two years later Christmas grottos remain very much part of this joyous tradition but they are now bigger, more elaborate, adventurous and imaginative than ever!....and that’s where Eventologists comes to the rescue every time, where every year we look forward to the hustle and bustle of designing, creating and imagineering a ‘wonderland of magic’ to entice those little ones into meet the man in red.

So what are the trends leaning to this year? Winter Wonderlands and Ice Palaces, Giant Baubles and Candy Canes, Animated Characters, Snow Globes and we definitely think a red white and blue splash of colour will be visible to all these magical decorations, because after all this has been a very special year here in the UK ......

Catch up with you later in the year when you have been wowed by one of the many ‘Eventologists’ themed Christmas Grottos. In the meantime we have a direct call coming in from Lapland about some giant Gingerbread men......

Prohibition and gangsters were an integral part of America's history in the 1920's: Capone was ‘Public Enemy Number 1’ - So shake out those tassels, uncurl your feathers – Prohibition is back...with a vengeance!

Sssh...... Whisper the password at the door to gain access to an evening to remember........

Hidden away from the prying eyes of the law; Nottingham students were welcomed at Colwick Hall into the jazzy underworld of the ‘speak easy’ establishment for an intimate gathering of mobsters and molls. A glamorous affair where the rules of prohibition were truly broken...... This beautiful location was filled with flappers and dandies quaffing bootlegged booze, trying their hand at roulette, palm reading, and catching up with Fat Sam and his boys.....

Under a star light night sky...  Eventologists broke all the rules with the decor... Al Capone keeping a watchful eye on the moonshine, glamorous pillars adorned the establishment along with an amazing array of colours on the jazzy dance floor and the very famous skyline of New York could be seen from all angles of the underworld... even the lady herself was their Liberty.....

The night was truly a ‘one-off’.....Bugsy Malone having nothing on this memorable occasion. An amazing event, courtesy of Eventologists and one that will go down in the history of Prohibition!!
