We have just had our annual awards event and used Eventologists for the venue décor and evening's entertainment, and I can't express how grateful I am. The evening was a huge success! Eventologists did an amazing job in making it what it was and creating the vibe! Jen was lovely and hugely supportive. She captured everything we wanted and communication was exceptional - we know this is key, so I can't thank you enough. We look forward to working with you again!

This was my first time working with an event management company, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. Rita and her team were exceptional—everything was executed beautifully and exactly as I had envisioned. The decorations received so many compliments, and all our guests had a wonderful evening.

We recently worked with Eventologists for our Greene King & Belhaven event and they were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. The bespoke venue dressing they provided was spot on and really brought our vision to life. Their team was incredibly helpful, friendly, and nothing was too much trouble, they truly couldn’t do enough to help. They were more than happy to go above and beyond and their attention to detail played a big part in making the event a great success. Highly recommended!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Eventologists for our Congress gala dinner, and they were nothing short of exceptional. From the beginning, they embraced our Bridgerton theme with creativity, enthusiasm, and incredible attention to detail - transforming the venue into a breathtakingly elegant space, complete with a stunning floral tunnel that truly wowed our guests. Despite several last-minute changes and back-and-forths with the venue and room location, Rita and her team remained patient, professional, and kind throughout. Their flexibility and calm under pressure made the process so much easier and more enjoyable for us. They didn’t just meet our expectations - they went above and beyond anything we had imagined, bringing our vision to life in the most magical way. We can’t thank them enough and would highly recommend Eventologists to anyone looking to create a truly unforgettable event.

We were under a tight deadline to open a new lounge venue at our Virgin Hotels London Shoreditch property, and Eventologists saved the day! I reached out to them in the last hour to install temporary artificial plants around the top perimeter of the venue for a photo shoot and our grand opening party. They responded to me in such a quick manner and installed the plants overnight! The team loves how they turned out. Thank you Eventologists!

Whatever my vision is for an event, Eventologists always deliver and then some! I've worked with them on three events, one of them was transforming our plain office to an 80s wonderland with a Speakeasy bar! Andrew and the team are a dream to work with and they're SO good at what they do and nothing is ever too much trouble, and if it is - they never make you feel like it is! Would highly recommend!

We have used Eventologists numerous times over the years, and each time they exceed our expectations. Rita and the team have a keen eye for detail and ensure a seamless experience from ideation to execution. Given the scale of our events, the demand for dressing three large rooms in individual themes is always a challenge, however, the feedback from our guests is always very positive, praising what Eventologists have delivered.
