Corporate Event Planners Melbourne

A corporate event agency earns its fee when the job has many moving parts: delegates to register, a stage to build, sponsors to keep happy and a board that wants a report afterwards. The agencies on this page work across every Melbourne region, so the brief can start with the event rather than with where the agency sits.

MCO Events and Peanut Productions suit conference-heavy work. MCO Events doubles as a professional conference organiser and gives each client one project lead from strategy to delivery, while Peanut Productions manages delegates and incentive programs and films the event with its in-house content team. VEE Agency is the one to ask about permits, liquor licensing and sponsorship, and offers carbon tracking with offsets as an option.

For a gala, fundraiser or end-of-year function, Zesty Events keeps founder Damien Boecasse involved with every client and covers creative direction through to the run sheet. CIS Event Management handles presentation nights and Christmas parties, with budgeting, supplier contracts and on-site running in its remit and a designer in-house for branded collateral. Evviva Events, which also plans private parties, takes on galas, launches, conferences and charity events for a flat fee.

Put these in the brief so agencies can quote like for like:

• Attendee numbers, with the split between delegates, guests and staff.
• Objectives: sales kick-off, client thank-you, staff recognition, product reveal.
• Fixed elements already decided, such as a venue on hold or a keynote speaker confirmed.
• Reporting needs, from attendance figures to video and photos for internal comms.
• Any sustainability targets, since VEE Agency can measure and offset emissions.

Agencies here quote per event, so ask each one to separate its management fee from supplier costs. For sound and screens, see AV hire, and for the wider planning range, event planning.
