Suit up! Adelaide’s 5 Elite Corporate Event Planners

Australian Hiring Company stands out with its advanced 3D event simulation tool. This provides clients with a precise visualization of important factors like seating arrangements, theme and overall design, and more.

With over 50 years of industry experience, the company excels in corporate events, boasting a solid track record in managing product launches, exhibitions, and employee social gatherings.

Their team is quick to adapt to the client’s needs for the event. It also helps that they have a comprehensive set of materials for flooring, lighting, dining sets, and more that can accommodate most functions. 

They’re also aces of innovation as seen through their creative styling for events. In their past work, they’ve blended design styles like contemporary, minimalist, and rustic. 

That said, a downside is that their rates are pricey. They’re also often fully booked months in advance. 

Keito Events’ expertise is holding virtual and hybrid events, having a great track record in holding online conferences and product launches. They’ve handled events for IKEA, KPMG, Villawood Properties, and more. 

They have over 50 years of experience and hosted more than 100 corporate events over the years. Their edge is their ROI-focused way of planning events.

These event plans are envisioned by their knowledgeable team who have backgrounds in marketing, finance, public relations, advertising, and design. Through a 5-step process (brief, content, management, delivery, and evaluation), clients are guided well. 

Their attention to detail during events is impressive, always ensuring that each aspect (such as audio, design, and logistics) is adequately taken care of by experienced people. 

In terms of downsides, however, their event designs aren’t very innovative. Also, they’re usually fully booked months in advance.

Middleton Event is one of the most awarded event companies in South Australia, having accolades from Meeting Industry Awards and M&A Global Awards. They’re specifically recognized for their entertainment services such as DJs and musicians.

The company was founded 40 years ago by DJ John Middleton. He and his family are good at crafting a lively atmosphere for clients, turning corporate award nights, holiday events, and similar occasions into enjoyable experiences. 

They invest heavily in entertainment, with party supplies like indoor fireworks and photobooths, and maintain a roster of performers available on call.

Their rates are reasonable and come with packages that have many inclusions. 

On the downside, however, their styling choices are a bit simplistic. Also, they had cases of being inconsistent with their responsiveness to clients even during business hours.

Venue Productions’ advantage lies in their more than 15 years of experience organizing events in many local venues like Adelaide Zoo, Adelaide Pavilion, and Tea Tree Gully Golf Club, allowing them to fulfill clients’ requests easily through existing relationships.

Founded in 2006, the company places importance on providing bespoke, unique, and innovative styling choices for clients.

Specifically, they have a keen eye for providing elegant and timeless designs that complement corporate events. They boast a great track record of planning product launches, award nights, and similar events.

All their technicians are professionally trained and certified under TAFE SA for lighting, theming, rigging, and draping, which helps make their events run smoothly. 

In terms of drawbacks, however, they are often fully booked months in advance. They are also somewhat slow to respond to new clients.

Lumino Events is notable for its flexibility when it comes to the scale of events it can handle. They planners managed events ranging from simple product launches to big galas, brand activations, and more.

They specifically cater to corporate audiences, which is why their expertise in event management is comprehensive. Specifically, they can match most themes, props, and entertainment preferences of clients.

Their team also prioritizes collaboration with clients to ensure that the latter’s recommendations are always applied. From planning to execution, they are responsive and adaptable to changes.

They also have a marketing team, which helps expand their client’s event reach and meet their client’s ROI.

Where they fall short, however, is their limited availability, especially for clients who contact them only about six months before their event. Additionally, their rates are among the highest among corporate event planners in the city.
