Planning your fundraising event takes time, expertise and valuable resources, whether it’s your 1st or 101st event. Our process starts with recommendations for getting the right people in the room, choosing the type of event that best suits your supporters, and finding a way to align yourself with sponsors to help fund your event. Hiring a professional event planner enables an organization the benefit of years of planning expertise and cost-saving techniques,
while allowing its own staff to focus on day-to-day operations.
As an extension of your team, we take the best elements from your past event successes, add some creative suggestions for improvement, and the result is a fresh new event for your attendees.
Ooh La La Events works closely with organizations to obtain the greatest return on your event investment. How do we do this? We keep operating costs low, pass our professional vendor discounts on to your organization, secure donations where available, and help to bridge on-going relationships with sponsors who will help underwrite your event costs.
