One plan, every service point.

Large events are won in the planning. Before the day, we map the site with you: kitchen and service points, guest flow, deliveries and power. We write the run sheet, roster the team and brief every staff member. On the day, one coordinator runs the event from bump-in to pack-down.

Recent large events: the Flyers Ball in Longreach, with canapés for 800 guests, and the Rural Women Unite Ladies Luncheon, a three-course lunch for 500 guests.

How we plan a major event

  • 1. Discover

    Your goals, guest numbers, site and budget.

  • 2. Design

    Menu, service style and the right number of service points.

  • 3. Plan

    Site plan, staffing, equipment, transport and run sheet.

  • 4. Deliver

    Bump-in, service and pack-down, run by one coordinator.
