✨ Event Planning Insider Tips from Wantz Events! ✨ With our team’s extensive experience, we ensure events planned by our team run smoothly and flawlessly. Here are some pro hacks to elevate your next event:

Always keep in mind how you want your attendees to feel and what they will walk away with. Have this be your guiding force in ALL details!
Transform your venue with strategic lighting to completely change a space! 🌟 We work with lighting specialists when we need to transform the General Session ballroom into the evening event space for a TOTALLY different look!
Personalize your event with custom signage and branding - remind everyone who you are every step of the way! It adds a unique touch while tying everything together. 🖋️
Keep EVERYone on track with a detailed “ROS” (Run of Show) / event timeline. 📋
Always have a backup plan for those unexpected hiccups. It’s all about contingencies, and how you handle the pressure! 🔄
Bonus tip: we recommend NEVER wearing heels onsite but you do you, girl 💅🏻
