Corporate Events
Business event management with panache
Are you launching a product, impressing VIPS, thanking crowd funders or organising a corporate away day? The key to making these successful is efficient business event management. I work with SMEs, social enterprises, indie businesses and business owners to create events that perfectly reflect your organisation.
As a professional in business event management, we cover everything from logistics to styling. We also have great connections with venues and suppliers. With years of experience, I know what pitfalls to avoid and what really works.
Corporate needn’t be cold. Let’s create a magical experience for your organisation.
Festival production and styling with flair
LND Events loves nothing more than a great festival! Indeed volunteering for these amazing celebrations was my first taste of event management.
It doesn’t matter how impeccable your logistics are, or how thorough your Health and Safety paperwork. It don’t mean a thing if it ‘aint got that swing! A great atmosphere means a great time, but also builds anticipation for repeat festivities and keeps your sponsors happy.
We can style and dress your event to make it truly memorable. The type that guests want to post on Instagram and reminisce about.








Our initial corporate event management consultation
The process starts with an hour long kick-off meeting. This is free and comes with no obligation.
Should you select me, I’ll send you a full set of notes with suggestions. Then you just need to choose which package, or combination of packages, best suit your needs:
Full planning service
This covers:
- Sourcing a suitable venue if you haven’t already chosen one
- Planning for a particular theme or style
- Creating an event plan covering every aspect, from catering to decorations
- Sourcing, recommending and co-ordinating with suppliers
- Sourcing and co-ordinating the supplies needed to style your venue
- Setting up the venue to ensure everything is prepared as planned
- On the day co-ordination of your event




Styling and set up service
Will you simply not have the time to set up the venue before your event? Is the bulk of the planning done but you need help with the ‘look and feel’? This package can help. It includes:
- A free initial consultation. This should take place at least a month before your event where we will clarify planning and progress.
- On-going contact and co-ordination with you. I’ll check your preparations are finalised and all necessary supplies are available.
- Setting up your venue to your specification.
On the day co-ordination package
If you need someone to take charge on the day, this package includes:
- A free initial consultation. This should take place at least a month before your event where we will clarify planning and progress.
- On-going contact and co-ordination with you. I’ll check your preparations are finalised.
- Support from the start of the event day to ensure that provisions, entertainers and guests arrive on time and in the right place.
- Continued support to the end of the day to make sure everything goes to plan.




Pay per hour assistance
Perhaps you want to source something special, but don’t know where to start. Or need some professional guidance on making initial ideas into reality. If so, pay per hour may be the best option.
We’ll discuss your ideas in detail at the free initial consultation meeting. We’ll also talk about the kind of hourly based assistance I could provide.
Don’t just take our word for it…
“Ellen became part of the YO1 events team during the early part 2012. Ellen quickly fitted into our way of working and was quick to show initiative and an ability to work well under pressure. A festival is a fast paced, high-pressure environment and is no place for the faint hearted.
Ellen adapted well and from her initial voluntary work position, she quickly became a valuable and integral part of the team.
In 2013 Ellen’s role increased to include the procurement and management of all the food concessions as well as taking her first steps into the media aspect of the event. She took on the responsibility of creating the event programme. Ellen also negotiated with sponsors and clients for adverts and content within the programme. She took to the challenge well and excelled once again.
By 2014 Ellen had reached the point of being part of the festival management team. Her roles included being media manager, concessions manager and art coordinator. She also gave support to the event director in the day to day running of the business.
Ellen now goes from strength to strength. She is an enthusiastic, knowledgeable, focused individual. I for one would feel completely at ease knowing she was in charge of making my special day one to remember.”
— John Drysdale, YO1 Festival Director
“Ellen has worked with me at Britain Does Vintage for many years. She started when she was looking for work experience and has turned into a really great team member who we can call on whenever we need some extra hands.
Our business often works on a cash entry system so to have someone we trust implicitly is extremely important to the running of our events. Not only do I trust Ellen to ensure the event is set up correctly, to offer exceptional customer service to the businesses joining us on the day and to make sure the event runs smoothly – I also trust her to handle our cash – which is a huge issue for us when finding staff. The fact that we are confident to allow Ellen to handle all of this is a reflection on her bubbly, caring and reliable attitude.
Ellen came to me with no knowledge in the events industry and now runs many of our events – she is a quick learner, completely trustworthy and very creative.
I would 110% recommend Ellen to any businesses looking for extra hands, any business also in the wedding industry looking to work with an events planner AND all brides/grooms-to-be who need help and inspiration for their big day!
Ellen is a lovely superstar and I’m honoured to call her my friend.”
