..centuries-old traditions,
21st century additions... OUR CREW | YOUR EVENT


PHILOSOPHY
We believe in what we do. OUTCOME
Polished. Fun.

Drawing from over two decades’ experience in Event Coordination and Management, and over four decades in cultural Arts and Entertainment, EVENTS by MANASIS provides an unmatched, unrivalled standard of knowledge and expertise in the industry. Our fundamental belief is that no event template is ever ‘standard’, and no two events are ever the same. Hence, the only pragmatic solution is in conceiving

a completely bespoke and highly customised programme, reflecting the unique personality and character of every client. INSPIRATION
Partnering your vision with our expertise. It is our utmost privilege being entrusted with the responsibility of sharing a client’s vision. Relying on both face-to-face discussions and online platform liaison from conception through to delivery, the ‘vibe’ a client wishes to create for their event is at the epicentre of every idea and decision throughout the entire process. It not only speaks to our elevated attention to detail, but also forms the foundation to our obligations in sourcing the most professional, experienced and, most importantly- ‘appropriate’ contractors and service providers. PURPOSE
Do it once, do it right. Remaining current with ever-evolving preferences, trends and fashion, along with our undisputed expertise in traditions and customs, offers reassurance and an undisputed sense of confidence to our clients. The definition of ‘tradition’ is where something is not new, yet never dates. In many instances where cultural inclusions are to be observed (and indeed respected), we ensure a fresh and original approach, ensuring a fusion of centuries-old traditions, with 21st century additions. Sophisticated. Formulating a second-by-second (not minute-by-minute) schedule, and the collaboration of diverse skillsets, passionate, attentive and enthusiastic crews, always yields the most successful of events for both hosts and guests …and us! Our success and long-standing reputation in the industry and wider community, is a testament to our authentic and tailored approach, and the calibre of our contractors, all functioning as integral components of a well-oiled machine: the absolute epitome of our brand. EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST
Even before a date has been set, and especially before anything else is arranged, contact us! Offering a multitude of services integral to weddings, corporate and private functions, cultural / community organisations, dance groups, schools, social / sporting clubs as well as individuals, we are always anticipating the opportunity to work with prospective and existing clients!

With over four decades' experience in Arts and Entertainment, being in the spotlight is one of our most comfortable environments.

As Australia's largest Greek dance school with over 700 enrolled students, and an asset base of hundreds of traditional Greek folk dance costumes and instruments, full-scale productions in the open air are our 'element' and highlight the beauty of culture through music and dance.

We pride ourselves on a multi-disciplinary approach, attending to layout, contractors, service providers, risk management, programming, coordination, schedule, costume, choreography, and more, to ensure a seamlessly flowing outdoor spectacular.

Celebrating cultural diversity, and highlighting the many similarities various cultures share, is at the core of our philosophy.

All we really need to know is a time and a place... We'll take care of the rest!

Here's some incredible moments, captured through the lenses of our most esteemed photographers... and drone pilots!

The trust that is bestowed on us as entertainment contractors by our clients, forms the foundation to our obligations in sourcing the most professional, experienced and, most importantly- ‘appropriate’ service providers.

Through both face-to-face discussions and online platform liaison, we're able to offer a completely bespoke package tailored specifically to the scale of the desired event. The range is as flexible as it is diverse:

-Live instrumental soloists
-Cocktail live bands (2 - 5 piece)
-Medium / large sized live bands (5 - 8 piece)
-The ultimate live music package, unique and exclusive to dm- Events by MANASIS (the epic BIG BAND: 20+ musicians on stage)
-Boutique-style / full-package DJs

We have a very tight and exclusive cohort of industry leaders, who have been carefully selected as the result of years' worth of interactions. Their equipment, cooperation, professionalism and characters speak volumes.

A BIT ABOUT OUR CORE MUSICIANS:
Having done extensive research in both Greece and its neighbouring countries, Dimosthenis Manasis along with other fellow musicians, have mastered the styles and techniques which characterise their rare and usually unseen collection of traditional Greek folk instruments.

Their research includes travelling to remote and isolated villages and taking lessons from some of Greece’s most influential folk instrumentalists, as well as local musicians.
..it is due to this reason,
that the essence of their music
captivates the soul, and takes their audience on a journey back to
villages and times long forgotten...

Their repertoire consists of traditional folk music from Pontos, Thrace, Macedonia, Epirus, Central Greece, Thessaly, Peloponnese, Crete, the Islands and Asia Minor, with a certain passion for recreating “village-style atmosphere” in a modern setting.

Most of our musicians began their musical careers by playing at family functions and gatherings, and progressed to playing at weddings, festivals, corporate events, and more recently, in conjunction with some of Australia’s leading folk musicians.

The rare and prized collection of over
200 instruments, include the clarinet, zourna, flogera, violin, lyra, daouli, toumbeleki, defi, as well as the famous Macedonian and Thracian “goat-head” bagpipe, the “Gaida”.

The energy and excitement our crew generates is euphoric.
..Just take a look at some of the most incredible and emotional moments caught by the lenses of our most esteemed photographers.

Utilising dance and culture to build bridges and quite literally bring people together, our participation in events have opened up the opportunity to partner up with some pretty amazing organisations.

We have a special knack for a corporate approach to cultural entertainment. It's fun, but it's 100% 'on-point':
Not too detached, not in-your-face; just a perfect balance of professionalism, pleasant engagement, interaction and an overall polished and refined presence.
..and if you want an 'all-in' Zorba dance mosh-pit with your guests after our performance is over, we'll throw that in there too!

We love what we do, and everyone we interact with can't help but be drawn in by the energy, enthusiasm and passion of our crew.

It has lead us to incorporate Greek dance and culture, as well as provide Voice Over and formal Master of Ceremonies services for a variety of events, including local councils, state and federal government, AFL, NRL, A-League (Melbourne Victory), HACCI, Fronditha Care, Oinofilia Wines of the World, food expos, exhibitions, philanthropic organisations, renowned charities, red carpet promos, and so many more!

Dear clients,

With the tireless efforts of an awesome team behind the scenes, our official website www.eventsbymanasis.com.au has now been completely updated!

From the commencement of this year, we undertook a mammoth task of sifting through our archives, and collating our entire journey into a concise 'digital publication', not only as a reference point of our bespoke Event Management services , but also as a 'go-to' for ANYTHING coordination / entertainment related.

With all information now up-to-date, visitors to the website are able to view our biographies, suppliers, photo/video galleries, and general information about the multitude of tailored services we are able to offer.

Equally, our Facebook and YouTube pages have also been completely revamped, and will continue to be updated with highlights of events as they continue to happen.

Upon reflection, it's been an incredible journey thus far, and one I'm privileged to have undertaken with the support and guidance of so many key individuals within the industry. Thank you all for your ongoing interest, support, and preference for OUR CREW | YOUR EVENT.

If we can be of any assistance, or for interest in our services, please don't hesitate to contact us.

In face, before you book ANYTHING... Contact Us.

A HUGE thank you to Mario Pongas from MarzNowDigital for his web 'mastery' in setting all this up!

For now... Happy browsing everyone!
