EVENT PLANNING & MANAGEMENT
Event planning and management in Vancouver
Every full-service Avela event includes on-site management: a dedicated manager who runs staffing, rentals and the timeline on the day, so one team owns the event alongside the food and bar. When you need more, we also offer vendor and venue management, day-of planning and full event production as additional services.
Included
What we handle
Every full-service Avela event comes with on-site management. Your manager runs the day itself, which is different from planning the event.
-
On-site management
A dedicated manager who is first to arrive, last to leave, and your single point of contact on the day.
-
Staffing
Chefs, servers, bartenders and event staff, all trained in-house.
-
Rentals
Tableware, furniture, linens and equipment, ordered and managed for you.
-
Timeline
A run-of-show that keeps food, drinks and key moments on schedule.
Additional services
Other services available
For events that need more than on-site management, our team can take on the planning too. These are separate services, scoped and quoted in your proposal.
-
Suppliers, vendors and venue management
Sourcing and coordinating your venue, DJs and bands, AV, tenting, florals, décor, transportation, security and more.
-
Day-of planner
A planner who coordinates every vendor and moment of the day, beyond our food, bar and service.
-
Event production and management
End-to-end planning and production for larger or more complex events, from the first concept to the final run-of-show.
Our approach
We prioritize clear communication and solutions tailored to your event. On site, our team acts as your advocate and handles last-minute needs quietly, so you can focus on your guests.
Where partners are involved
Some elements, such as venues, entertainment and specialist décor, are delivered by trusted partners. We coordinate them and remain your main point of contact.
