About Eventwell Group
An event management and experiential marketing practice on Wilkins Avenue in Port Chester, working across Westchester, Fairfield County and New York City.
Why we hold nothing
Eventwell Group was founded to manage events without making clients dependent on us.
Our people had all worked at agencies that held every supplier agreement. It was efficient, it was normal, and it meant a client wanting to leave faced rebuilding their entire supplier base from nothing.
Switching cost is the real product in this industry. Not the events, which any competent agency can run, but the accumulated relationships a client cannot take with them.
It obscures the money as well. A client receiving a single consolidated invoice has no reliable way to establish what each supplier was paid or what was added on top.
So the contracts are yours. Every supplier signs with your organization, invoices you directly, and stays with you if we part. Our management fee is invoiced on its own and is the entirety of what we earn.
What this means in practice
More administration for you. Several supplier invoices rather than one consolidated bill. We prepare the schedule and reconcile it, but the payments are yours to make.
Complete visibility of cost. You see what every supplier charged because you paid them, and our fee sits beside those figures rather than inside them.
No commission from anybody. Venues, caterers, production companies and staffing agencies pay us nothing, in either direction.
A roster you keep. After a year of working together you hold a tested supplier list with your own trading history behind it, which has value whether or not we continue.
