  • Budget
  • Marketing
  • Production Schedules
  • Layout
  • Sponsorship
  • Attendee Engagement

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 MARKETING

A great event starts long before the doors open

We build a customized marketing strategy for each of our events that serves as your roadmap to achieving your goals. We make every promotional dollar count with our existing relationships with marketing partners.

We understand how to protect and leverage your brand to deliver messages that support your mission. We design and produce collateral, social media posts, and multimedia experiences.

Talent Buying and Entertainment

speakers  *  musicians  *  interactive entertainers

It’s important to set the proper tone for your event in order to bring people into the fold for an enjoyable, engaging time. But with thousands of bands, dancers, speakers, and other performers, how do you know who to chose or how to contact them?

With 25 years of booking talent under our belt, we have the largest network of entertainers, rentals, event services, and photographers in the Chicagoland area. We find the best entertainer for your audience and your budget. Communicating with national talent agencies and prestigious Chicagoland personalities, we’re what you need to bring the audience in and keep them there.

Our leverage in the market allows us to negotiate and secure top-tier talent within your budget. Our attention to detail and professional approach ensure a smooth and seamless operation. 

Having never had a live band at our gala before, we did not even know what kind of sound we wanted. StarEvents made the whole thing easy, from finding the right band that fit our budget, to making sure they had the right equipment. The show was a total hit! 

– Board President, Face the Future Foundation


experiential events

Presenting your crowd with the right tone and attractions is vital to the success of any unique event. 

We listen to your concepts and goals, then work with you to find the avenues to make them happen! We take the work out of finding the right space, equipment, and design to host a unique, interactive experience.You give us the ideas, we’ll show you how we can make it work!

Whether your goal is to appeal to a wide audience or a specific niche, we know where to focus. The cultural feel of an international pinball championship. The spacial and equipment logistics of a cooking competition. The combination of bold sound and classic touches for a charity ball. In two and a half decades, on the job, we’ve done a little bit of everything and will find ways to do even more for you!

activations



We understand how to protect and leverage your brand to deliver messages that support your mission. We design and produce memorable experiences that will keep your audience engaged!

We’ve got 25 years of experience on both sides of activations. We know how they work inside and out. We know the answers to the questions because we’ve asked them ourselves. That intimate knowledge of the processes involved in announcing yourself to the world.

When you need a crew, our staffing service is here to put boots on the ground, ready to build, brand, and bring the right type of attention to the operation.

I was VERY impressed with everything. I was so pleasantly surprised with all of the organization and amenities. Great job!
