The business operates in a destination known for its hospitality venues and event settings, which creates opportunities for both local clients and visitors organising occasions in the Western Cape. Its profile is relevant to awards categories covering event planning, celebration design and client experience.

Its services are suited to clients looking for an organiser to translate an idea for a wedding or special occasion into a planned programme, supported by venue decisions, styling, vendors and on-the-day management.

In Kenya’s active hospitality and celebrations sector, specialist planners can offer value by bringing together decorators, caterers, entertainment providers and other suppliers within one workable brief.

Lionheart Events
Events & Celebrations
Lionheart Events
Lionheart Events is an Accra-based events company working across celebrations and professionally organised gatherings. Its offering addresses the practical and creative tasks associated with weddings, social occasions and corporate functions, where successful delivery depends on clear planning, vendor coordination and attention to how guests experience the occasion. The company represents the specialist planning businesses that form an important part of Ghana’s wider hospitality and events market. For clients, the role of an event organiser extends from shaping the programme and aesthetic direction to overseeing suppliers and changes on the day itself. Lionheart Events could therefore be considered for categories focused on event management, celebration planning and service quality. A formal awards review should examine recent case studies, customer feedback and the team’s involvement in each project before reaching conclusions about its performance or impact.

The company’s relevance to the Global Events & Celebrations Awards lies in the broad skill set needed to manage occasions from concept to execution. Potential areas of review include the originality of event themes, the clarity of planning processes, vendor management and how clients’ priorities are reflected in the final event.

Its services extend beyond event coordination to production-related requirements, helping clients address the technical, logistical and supplier-management demands of professional occasions. Working in a market that regularly hosts meetings and international visitors, the company is positioned within Rwanda’s conference and destination-events infrastructure. Organising an effective conference requires careful control of registration, staging, audiovisual needs, schedules and the relationship between organisers and attendees. Rwanda Events is therefore relevant to awards categories for business events, event production and destination event services. Documented conference projects, operational planning and client outcomes would provide more meaningful evidence of quality than unsupported claims about size, market position or industry leadership.
Fenon Entertainment
Events & Celebrations
Fenon Entertainment
Fenon Entertainment is a Ugandan entertainment and event-production company whose capabilities include technical support for live experiences. The business is known for work around stage production, sound, lighting and the systems needed to present performances or larger gatherings to an audience. Unlike a conventional wedding or corporate planning agency, Fenon operates in the production layer of events, where technical reliability is central to the finished experience. Stage equipment, power requirements, crew coordination and live audiovisual delivery all play a substantial role in the success of concerts and public events. Fenon’s inclusion recognises that suppliers and production specialists are part of the wider celebrations industry, not simply behind-the-scenes contractors. Relevant awards criteria could include production design, operational standards, adaptability to different venues and evidence of successfully delivered live projects.

The studio’s role covers the creative concept as well as the detailed organisation needed to work with venues and event suppliers. Marrakech provides a distinctive setting for destination weddings, with varied hospitality properties, architecture and local craftsmanship. A business such as MAEV can connect these settings to the expectations of clients planning from abroad or elsewhere in Morocco. The studio is a prospective candidate for destination wedding and event design categories, with judging best supported by project portfolios, client references and clear evidence of the services it directly delivers.

Associated with founder Vandana Mohan, the company works at the creative and organisational end of the wedding sector, combining theme development, visual environments, hospitality requirements and production coordination. Its offering reflects the complexity of weddings that may extend across multiple functions and venues. For such events, a design-led agency must align floral and decorative concepts with technical production, guest movement and service expectations. The Wedding Design Company is relevant to categories recognising wedding creativity and complex event execution. A credible nomination would focus on completed project examples and document what the company designed, managed or produced, while avoiding assumptions that an established reputation automatically places it within any particular business-size bracket.
The Wedding Entourage
Events & Celebrations
The Wedding Entourage
The Wedding Entourage is a Singapore-based business working with couples on the planning and styling of wedding celebrations. Its services address the combination of supplier selection, timelines, presentation and event-day coordination that couples often find difficult to manage independently. With weddings involving both personal traditions and practical arrangements, the agency operates in a client-facing sector where communication is as important as creative direction. Singapore’s event environment includes city venues, hospitality spaces and connections to destination wedding markets elsewhere in Asia. The Wedding Entourage is therefore suited to consideration in boutique wedding planning and client service categories. A nomination could draw on examples showing how different couples’ briefs are translated into distinct settings and schedules, supported by feedback from clients and the event partners involved.
WEDS Weddings
Events & Celebrations
WEDS Weddings
WEDS Weddings is a Malaysia-based wedding planning and styling business focused on helping clients shape cohesive celebrations.

As a boutique operator, its public identity places the wedding’s visual presentation and the couple’s preferences at the centre of the planning process. The Malaysian celebrations market includes a broad mix of cultural and religious traditions, making sensitivity to the client’s expectations especially important. WEDS Weddings is a relevant prospect for emerging event business, wedding styling and planning categories. Its suitability should be judged against examples of recent events, including how it handles budgets, timelines, design revisions and delivery, rather than against claims about being the most luxurious or best-known provider.
Events by Miss P
Events & Celebrations
Events by Miss P
Events by Miss P is a Philippine events business providing planning and coordination for weddings, milestone celebrations and corporate occasions. The company caters to clients who need structured assistance with event preparation, from organising suppliers and schedules to ensuring the programme moves smoothly on the day. Its work represents the broad range of smaller operators serving family celebrations and business customers in the Philippines. Different event types demand different service styles: a wedding is typically personal and family-centred, while a business event may give priority to timing, branding and attendee experience. Events by Miss P is a potential fit for planning versatility and event coordination awards. Evidence of delivery standards, client testimonials and clear case studies across its service areas would help establish how the company approaches these varied requirements in practice.
TW
Events & Celebrations

Its services support couples arranging ceremonies and celebrations away from home, where local venue knowledge and dependable supplier relationships are important.

Destination weddings introduce additional considerations such as weather, travel timing, accommodation and communication across different time zones. The Wedding Bliss Thailand is well aligned with prospective categories covering destination event planning, celebration design and guest experience. An award entry would be most informative if it showed specific projects, the division of responsibilities between the agency and venues, and evidence of how the team manages logistical changes.

Venues across Vietnam can range from urban hospitality settings to coastal and resort destinations, and each imposes different production and guest-management requirements. The Planners is a suitable prospect for wedding design, destination celebrations and event management categories. Assessment should focus on verifiable recent projects and how successfully planning decisions translate into the event experience, especially where multiple suppliers are working together.
PA
Events & Celebrations

Plan A Bali is an Indonesia-based event planning company specialising in weddings and celebrations on the island of Bali. Founded by Tash Heyder, the business positions itself around personalised destination event services, helping couples and private clients develop an occasion suited to their setting and guest list. Its work draws on Bali’s established network of villas, resorts, hospitality venues and creative event suppliers. Planning in a destination market requires practical knowledge of local venues alongside detailed coordination for clients who may not be present throughout the preparations. Plan A Bali is therefore relevant to boutique wedding planning and destination event categories. A nomination could show how the company manages communication, selection of suppliers and the transition from initial brief to delivery, supported by recent case studies and client feedback.

Its offering encompasses the sourcing and booking of acts suited to weddings, corporate functions and special events. The business occupies an important supplier role within the live experience industry, where the entertainment selection can influence a gathering’s energy, atmosphere and overall identity. An entertainment agency must interpret the organiser’s brief, understand practical performance requirements and manage coordination between talent and event teams. Sternberg Clarke could be considered for specialist event supplier and live entertainment categories. Relevant evidence would include the range of event formats supported, how bespoke entertainment briefs are fulfilled and the consistency of the booking experience for clients and performers.

Fête in France is a wedding planning business serving clients organising celebrations in France, including international couples. Its work combines event design and coordination with the practical expertise needed to plan from another country.

France offers a wide variety of wedding settings, from countryside estates to urban and coastal venues, each with its own planning demands. Fête in France is relevant to destination wedding and international client service categories, particularly where bilingual coordination and supplier relationships can be demonstrated. Its performance is best judged through completed event examples, communication processes and feedback that shows how expectations were managed.
Jazzunique
Events & Celebrations
Jazzunique
Jazzunique is a Germany-based creative business working across brand experiences, live communication and spatial design. Its services connect the world of events with architectural environments, storytelling and branded experiences, making it relevant to clients seeking more than a conventional meeting or product presentation. The company develops concepts in which physical space, visitor movement and creative production contribute to how an audience engages with a brand. For experiential events, the quality of the outcome depends on how clearly a creative concept supports the client’s purpose and how effectively it can be delivered in a real setting. Jazzunique is a potential entrant for brand activation, event design and experiential innovation awards. Evaluation should consider project briefs, completed installations and measurable outcomes where available, while distinguishing its documented client work from broad promotional language.
SP
Events & Celebrations

Its public offering brings together venue selection, event styling and coordination, helping couples arrange celebrations in settings that may include Tuscany, the lakes and coastal destinations. The company works within a hospitality-led sector where local knowledge and the ability to bring multiple suppliers into a unified plan are central to the client experience. Italian destination weddings often require the combination of ceremony logistics, guest travel, food and service, decorative design and complex schedules.

Corporate events can range from team gatherings and conferences to launches and incentive programmes, making flexibility important for an organiser. Eye Events could be considered for business events and corporate event management categories. Evidence of practical delivery, creative solutions to particular client briefs and reliable coordination would be the appropriate basis for assessment, rather than assuming quality from the destination alone.
By Whyte
Events & Celebrations
By Whyte
By Whyte is an Amsterdam-based event agency developing corporate gatherings and brand-led experiences. The company works with clients on the concept, preparation and production of events designed to connect people with organisations or ideas. Its positioning reflects a broader shift in the corporate events sector toward gatherings that have a clear purpose, considered creative direction and an experience tailored to the intended audience. Planning a purposeful business event involves more than logistics; it can require a clear message, a carefully designed guest journey and responsible supplier choices. By Whyte is a potential prospect for corporate event creativity and brand experience categories. Any award review should examine published work and client examples that show how event concepts were implemented and how outcomes were understood, particularly where sustainability or engagement objectives are presented.

It offers clients support in developing the visual concept of an occasion and coordinating the many suppliers that contribute to the finished experience. Its work is situated within Portugal’s growing international weddings market, where venue settings, hospitality and event styling are frequently brought together for visitors celebrating abroad. A destination celebration needs both creative sensitivity and reliable organisation, particularly when guests have different travel requirements and clients are coordinating remotely. Como Branco could fit categories covering wedding design, boutique planning and international celebrations. The most useful nomination materials would show the individuality of finished projects, the company’s responsibilities and practical evidence of client service and delivery.
Boutique de 3
Events & Celebrations

Established by a team of event professionals, the company operates in a Brazilian market known for detailed social celebrations, complex supplier networks and venues with varied production requirements.

For wedding clients, a planning team provides an important point of coordination between creative suppliers and the practical demands of the event day. Boutique de 3 is a potential prospect for wedding planning, celebration management and customer experience awards. A meaningful review should be grounded in recent events, the agency’s documented responsibilities and feedback from couples and vendors, rather than assertions about its standing in the wider market.
Penzi Weddings
Events & Celebrations
Penzi Weddings
Penzi Weddings is a wedding planning business based in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, serving couples who want to celebrate in this distinctive destination. Its services cover planning and design and connect clients with the practical elements of a wedding, including venues, decor, food and hospitality. Operating in a city known for destination celebrations, the business works at the intersection of local event knowledge and the expectations of travelling couples and guests. Destination weddings require especially close attention to timing, vendor coordination and guest arrangements, because organisers may need to plan with clients located far from the venue. Penzi Weddings is relevant to international wedding planning and event hospitality categories. Strong nomination evidence would include varied project examples, clarity around the services provided and verifiable accounts of the client experience from consultation through the celebration.
OE
Events & Celebrations

The company brings together creative event concepts and the coordination needed to deliver them, covering the relationship between venue design, decoration, suppliers and programme management. It operates in a market where both private clients and organisations increasingly seek specialised support for occasion planning. The requirements for an intimate celebration can differ substantially from those of a larger wedding or professional function. Olivares Event Planner could be considered for event design and boutique planning categories where flexibility and client understanding are important. A submission should provide examples demonstrating how particular briefs were handled, which aspects of production were managed internally and how the finished occasions met clearly defined client needs.
Julieta Doy Planner
Events & Celebrations
Julieta Doy Planner
Julieta Doy Planner is an Argentina-based wedding and events planning business offering support with the organisation and coordination of celebrations. Working with couples and event clients, the company helps structure decisions about suppliers, logistics, schedules and how an occasion should unfold. The business represents the personalised end of the wedding planning market, where clients may depend on a specialist’s advice throughout preparation rather than only on the event day. Coordination services are often most visible when different suppliers must work to one timeline or when last-minute adjustments are needed. Julieta Doy Planner is relevant to wedding planning and event coordination awards, particularly if it can demonstrate a consistent process for briefing clients, managing options and delivering varied events. Recent case studies and customer references would provide the right basis for an independent evaluation.
BP
Events & Celebrations

The business offers planning and production support for formats such as conferences, launches and celebrations, where creative presentation must be matched with accurate scheduling and supplier execution. Its service model places it within the business-to-business event sector rather than solely the private celebration market. Corporate event clients typically expect organisers to translate business objectives into clear guest experiences, whether the task is a formal conference or a more social client gathering. Blanc Producciones is a prospect for corporate event management and event production categories. Evaluation would be strengthened by evidence of planning methods, completed programmes, client satisfaction and the company’s ability to coordinate the operational and creative parts of an event.

Organízate Wedding Planner is a Peru-based planning business supporting couples with the preparation and coordination of wedding celebrations. Its service offering brings structure to key stages of the planning process, including the selection of suppliers, the development of a cohesive event plan and the management of timing on the day. Through these services, the business addresses the administrative and creative demands that can make an important personal occasion complex to organise. The value of a wedding planner may be seen in how effectively the team interprets the client’s priorities and manages numerous independent vendors. Organízate is a candidate for wedding planning and customer-focused event services categories. Any nomination should be supported by evidence of completed celebrations, examples of personalised planning processes and client feedback, rather than relying on unverified promotional claims.

Mil Besos Costa Rica is a destination wedding planning company working with couples celebrating in Costa Rica. Its services address wedding design and coordination while helping clients navigate the particular demands of hosting an occasion away from home.

By bringing together creative planning with an understanding of destination logistics, Mil Besos Costa Rica operates at the meeting point between the events and tourism industries. It is a relevant prospect for destination wedding, event coordination and guest experience categories. Appropriate judging evidence would include completed weddings, documentation of logistical solutions and direct feedback from couples whose events the business has managed.
Alison Events
Events & Celebrations
Alison Events
Alison Events is a United States-based event planning business associated with weddings and private celebrations. The company helps clients organise events in which creative design, hospitality and the management of many moving parts need to come together. Its positioning reflects the work of specialist planning firms that support the client through the event concept, coordination of vendors and the detailed preparation needed before guests arrive. Private events frequently require a high level of discretion, clear communication and careful decision-making across different suppliers. Alison Events could be considered for event planning and celebration design categories, subject to verification of its present operations and project portfolio. An entry should show specific examples of the team’s creative contribution, its role in production and how it handles client needs and guest experience across varied event formats.
SL
Events & Celebrations
Shannon Leahy Events

The business combines detailed organisation with an emphasis on visual presentation, helping clients establish a coherent event concept while coordinating the services needed to execute it. Its offering sits within the design-led segment of the celebrations industry, where aesthetics and practical delivery must work together throughout the planning process. The strength of a design-led event is not simply the appearance of its setting but also the consistency of the experience across ceremony, reception, hospitality and transitions. Shannon Leahy Events is a potential prospect for wedding creativity and event design categories. Suitable evidence for judging would include portfolios showing different client briefs, explanations of design decisions and references that establish the company’s responsibilities in each project.
23 Layers
Events & Celebrations
23 Layers
23 Layers is a New York-based event production and experiential agency working with business clients on designed experiences. Its service offering is positioned around corporate events, brand activations and gatherings that give an organisation a physical setting in which to engage audiences. The agency connects event strategy with creative design and production, making the experience itself part of how a client communicates its message. For experiential work, the practical challenge is to deliver a compelling audience journey while managing suppliers, timing and the details of an event environment. 23 Layers is aligned with categories for brand experiences, corporate event production and event innovation. A formal review should examine completed projects and distinguish creative concepts from measurable client outcomes, supported by direct evidence where possible rather than assumptions about the agency’s reputation.
Bisous Events
Events & Celebrations
Bisous Events
Bisous Events is a Toronto-based event planning company providing services for weddings and other organised occasions. Its work covers the preparation and coordination associated with personal celebrations and professional gatherings, helping clients manage decisions about event flow, suppliers and timing. In an urban events market with many venues and service providers, boutique agencies such as Bisous Events act as an organising link between the client’s brief and the people delivering it. The ability to work across event types can be a useful advantage, but each type must still be planned around its specific audience and purpose. Bisous Events is a prospect for wedding coordination, celebration planning and client service awards. Recent project examples and client feedback would be valuable in assessing how the company adapts its processes and maintains quality across different occasions.
Mad Bash Group
Events & Celebrations
Mad Bash Group
Mad Bash Group is a Toronto-based creative events business operating under a name that succeeded the earlier Love by Lynzie brand. Its services span weddings, celebrations and business-related events, bringing together planning, creative direction and production for occasions with distinct audiences. The company’s broad service mix places it within both the private events market and the corporate and brand experience sector. A company working across these settings must understand the difference between an intimate, highly personal celebration and an event designed to engage customers or employees. Mad Bash Group is relevant to creative event agency, celebration design and experiential event categories. Because business names and service offerings can evolve, any nomination should use its current branding and be supported by recent work that demonstrates both its creativity and delivery capabilities.
Paras Events
Events & Celebrations
Paras Events
Paras Events is a Canadian event design and decor business based in the Greater Toronto Area. Its offering places emphasis on the visual environment of a celebration, with work connected to wedding styling, decorative installations and the event products or rentals needed to create a complete setting. The company represents a substantial and often specialised part of the events industry: suppliers who shape how spaces look and feel rather than controlling the whole planning process. Decor and rental specialists must translate visual concepts into practical installations that can be delivered safely and consistently within venue constraints. Paras Events could be considered for celebration design, specialist event supplier and wedding decor categories. A credible submission would document its own design and installation work, demonstrate how different briefs were handled and include examples of coordination with planners, venues and other event partners.
Carousel
Events & Celebrations
Carousel
Carousel is a Dubai-based wedding and events company associated with the planning and design of high-end celebrations. Its work brings together creative concepts, event styling and the coordination needed to organise an occasion in the United Arab Emirates and wider destination market. The company occupies a sector where visual creativity is important, but where a polished guest experience also depends on the quieter discipline of managing suppliers, programmes and logistics. Dubai’s event settings range from hotels and ballrooms to outdoor hospitality venues, each with distinctive production requirements. Carousel is a prospective fit for luxury wedding planning and event design categories. Judging should draw on clearly attributed project portfolios, client references and examples of how bespoke requirements were handled, rather than accepting descriptions such as ‘luxury’ as evidence of quality in themselves.
PME
Events & Celebrations
PME
PME is a Saudi Arabia-based event and brand experience company offering creative and production services for business clients. Its work covers the development and execution of branded occasions such as launches, promotional experiences and professionally organised gatherings. Positioned at the intersection of events, marketing and production, the company illustrates how live experiences can serve a communications purpose as well as bring people together in a physical setting. Brand-led events have to balance creativity with the client’s commercial objectives, the expectations of guests and the practical limits of venues or public spaces. PME is a potential candidate for corporate event innovation, brand activation and experiential production categories. An informed assessment would look for completed case studies describing the brief, the agency’s responsibilities and outcomes that can be independently substantiated.
Red Apple Event Management
Events & Celebrations
Red Apple Event Management
Red Apple Event Management is a Qatar-based events business with services aimed at corporate and social occasions. Its offering includes the organisation of professional gatherings, exhibitions and live experiences that require multiple production and supplier elements to operate together. In a market with substantial hospitality and conference activity, the company provides a locally based point of support for clients arranging events with different objectives and audiences. Exhibitions and corporate programmes make particular demands on venue use, scheduling, signage, technical equipment and attendee movement. Red Apple Event Management is therefore relevant to business event production, exhibition services and event coordination awards. Specific completed-project evidence would be needed to establish the quality of execution, particularly where marketing descriptions make broader statements about capability or client satisfaction.

Technical event suppliers have to interpret a brief in the context of venue requirements, safety considerations and changing schedules. HBBS could be considered for specialist event production and supplier excellence categories, where evidence of reliable installation, communication and completed project delivery would be central. Before formal outreach, the organiser should confirm the precise services currently supplied and the legal entity under which an entry would be made.
Indigo Events
Events & Celebrations
Indigo Events
Indigo Events is an Oman-based event management and production business operating in the corporate and live experiences sector. Its services are aimed at clients who require planning and practical event execution, potentially bringing together programme development, venue requirements, technical partners and creative presentation.

Professional event production depends on how effectively numerous individual decisions are combined into a coherent occasion for attendees. Indigo Events is a potential prospect for corporate event organisation, production and live experience categories. Evaluation should focus on recent examples of delivery, the scope of work actually undertaken by the company and independently supported information about client outcomes, rather than general statements about service excellence.

We Plan Events
We Plan Events is a Lebanon-based event planning and design business associated with weddings, celebrations and professional occasions. Its work combines the creative construction of an event environment with organisational services such as supplier coordination and programme planning. The company’s presentation reflects the design-oriented side of the regional events industry, where architecture, decor and guest experience can be considered together from an early stage. For both social and corporate clients, translating an imaginative idea into a workable event requires attention to site constraints, build schedules and operational detail. We Plan Events is a prospective candidate for event design, celebration planning and creative production categories. A compelling nomination would include a portfolio with clearly described projects, the company’s direct role in each and client feedback addressing execution as well as appearance.
