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.”

EVENT MARKETING

conferences  *  fundraisers  *  activations

We build a customized marketing plan for every single event, and we use data to measure success. Through targeted marketing, our events reach new guests and keep loyal attendees engaged.

You’ll benefit from the full power of our relationships, connections, and reach when you partner with us. We partner with the best suppliers, so you’ll get top quality graphics and branded supplies. Through our high-traffic website and active and engaged social media feeds, our audience will be at your fingertips. That’s the power of StarEvents working with you!

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. The right talent can attract and engage a specific audience and act as th primary tool to bring in your target audience. We know who and we know how!

With 25 years of booking talent under our belt, StarEvents knows how to bring the right speakers, musicians and other entertainers to best fit your style and budget. Communicating with national talent agencies and prestigious Chicagoland personalities, we’re what you need to bring the audience in and keep them there.

From orchestras and executives to metal bands and tv stars, we’ve got the connections and knowhow to keep any gathering alive and on point! 

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!

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!

So you want to bring attention to your brand. You want to kickstart things. You want to make sure your audience is engaged. Launching a new chapter or revamping your product can be intimidating, but we’re here to take care of the tough stuff!

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!
