Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our event management services in Johor Bahru
General Event Planning
What types of events do you manage?
We specialize in corporate events (annual dinners, conferences, seminars, AGMs), product launches, team building activities, opening ceremonies, exhibitions and roadshows, virtual and hybrid events, and private celebrations. Our services span from small intimate gatherings of 20 people to large-scale events with 1,000+ attendees.
How far in advance should I book your services?
We recommend booking 3-6 months in advance for major events like annual dinners, conferences, or product launches. For smaller corporate events or team building, 4-8 weeks notice is typically sufficient. However, we can accommodate last-minute requests (1-2 weeks) subject to availability, though earlier booking ensures better venue selection and vendor options.
Do you only serve clients in Johor Bahru?
While we're based in Johor Bahru, we manage events throughout Malaysia including Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Malacca, and other major cities. We also coordinate events in Singapore and internationally for Malaysian companies. Our local JB base offers cost advantages while our nationwide network ensures consistent quality anywhere in Malaysia.
What's included in your event management services?
Our full-service packages include event concept and strategy, venue sourcing and coordination, theme design and décor, AV equipment and technical production, catering coordination, entertainment and talent booking, registration and guest management, on-site coordination and troubleshooting, photography and videography, and post-event reporting. We customize packages based on your needs and budget.
Pricing & Budgets
How much do your event management services cost?
Costs vary significantly based on event type, size, and requirements. Annual dinners range from RM25,000-150,000 (50-500 pax), product launches from RM30,000-150,000, corporate conferences from RM40,000-200,000+, team building from RM8,000-50,000 (half to full day), and opening ceremonies from RM15,000-80,000. We provide detailed quotations matching your budget and can offer tiered options.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes, we structure payments in stages: typically 30% deposit upon confirmation, 40% one month before the event, and final 30% upon completion. For larger events, we can arrange customized payment schedules to ease cash flow management while ensuring service delivery.
What's included vs. what costs extra?
Our package quotations clearly itemize all inclusions. Standard packages cover planning, coordination, basic décor, standard AV, and management fees. Premium upgrades (celebrity performers, elaborate stage designs, drone photography, special effects) and variable costs (guest count changes, menu upgrades, overtime charges) are quoted separately. We're transparent about all costs upfront.
Logistics & Coordination
Do you handle venue booking?
Absolutely! Venue sourcing and coordination is central to our service. We have established relationships with premier venues across JB including Persada Johor ICC, Renaissance Hotel, DoubleTree by Hilton, KSL Hotel, Pulai Springs Resort, Amari JB, and numerous ballrooms, conference centers, and unique venues. We negotiate rates, manage contracts, and coordinate all venue logistics.
Can you arrange catering?
Yes, we coordinate catering with trusted partners offering diverse cuisines and service styles (plated dinners, buffets, cocktail receptions, bento boxes). All our catering partners are halal-certified, and we accommodate dietary requirements (vegetarian, vegan, allergies, religious restrictions). Menu tastings can be arranged before finalizing selections.
What happens if something goes wrong during the event?
Our experienced on-site team is trained in rapid problem-solving and contingency management. We prepare backup plans for critical elements (power failures, AV issues, weather for outdoor events, vendor no-shows). Our event coordinator has authority to make real-time decisions, and we maintain vendor relationships ensuring quick replacements if needed. You have a dedicated point of contact throughout the event.
Cultural & Special Requirements
Do you handle multilingual events?
Yes! Our team and vendors are experienced in bilingual and multilingual events. Our emcees are fluent in English, Bahasa Malaysia, and Mandarin. We coordinate seamless language transitions, provide translated materials, and ensure cultural sensitivity. This is especially valuable for Malaysia's diverse corporate environment and events involving Singaporean or international participants.
Can you coordinate traditional Malaysian ceremonies?
Absolutely! We specialize in cultural elements including lion dance performances, 24-drum ensembles, traditional blessings (Buddhist, Islamic, Christian, Hindu), ribbon cutting ceremonies, auspicious date selection (Tong Shu consultation), and proper protocol for government dignitaries. We respect and incorporate cultural traditions while maintaining modern event standards.
Do you manage permits and government approvals?
Yes, we handle all permit applications as part of our service including MBJB event permits, road closure applications, entertainment licenses, temporary structure permits, food sampling approvals, and any venue-specific requirements. Our local expertise navigates JB's bureaucratic requirements efficiently.
Virtual & Hybrid Events
What platforms do you use for virtual events?
We're platform-agnostic and work with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex, Hopin, vFairs, YouTube Live, Facebook Live, and custom solutions. We recommend platforms based on your audience size, interactivity needs, and budget. Our team handles complete technical production including multi-camera streaming, graphics, and engagement tools.
How do hybrid events work?
Hybrid events seamlessly integrate in-person and virtual attendees. We set up professional livestreaming from your physical venue, manage two-way interaction (virtual participants can ask questions, vote in polls), coordinate breakout sessions for both audiences, and ensure neither group feels secondary. Technical requirements include multi-camera production, confidence monitors for speakers, dedicated streaming encoder, and strong internet connectivity.
