EVENT Consulting

We offer consulting services for clients who may need a little extra support for their own event teams. Our flexible model allows us to offer counsel on experience design & strategy, audience engagement, compliance, marketing & promotion, and analytics.

We offer supplement client teams solely on execution, lending a hand with a variety of tasks from vendor management to timelines and permits. We’re happy to provide a set number of hours to review your event and make recommendations on the following areas:

Budget
Marketing
Vendor Selection
Layout
Sponsorship

StarEvents has a winning attitude that embraces all challenges and encourages collaboration. The phrase ‘team player’ is often overused, but StarEvents is truly that.

EVENT AND STAFFING MANAGEMENT

I’m one of the three drivers who brought the “rocks” in for the Denver stage. I’d like to give a great big thank you to StarEvents for making our time here a great experience. The parking, the people we worked with, the folks on crew…everyone was fantastic! This was a great venue and you made our jobs go smooth and effortless. Hope to see you again in the future.”
