How we compare: published facts only — our own figures from our site, other businesses' facts from their own pages with the date we read them — no invented prices, no disparagement, and we say where the other option wins. Updated 5 September 2026.
Time: allow at least four weeks for a kick-off of around two hundred people; shorter is possible with fewer options, and a party can be produced in as little as two to three days when it must. Suppliers: we source multiple quotes, negotiate and coordinate every partner against one plan, and you pay suppliers' prices with no markup; in-house you build the network from zero. Per-head budget: we publish no per-head price — every event is quoted per brief with every cost itemised, and our fee, a flat project fee, shown separately. Risk: a team on site solves what comes up; event insurance and security are handled by the venue and by us as set out in the contract; who holds the serving licence depends on the country and venue and is confirmed per event. Invoicing: a deposit on signing, the balance on invoice after the event; invoices can be split across cost centres or companies; EUR or SEK; guest numbers confirmed on the suppliers' date, every extra guest charged per person.
When in-house wins: a dinner at a restaurant that handles everything, a smaller group, a simple format, and a person who enjoys running it. When the agency wins: when nobody has the time, when the evening needs a concept, when several suppliers and transports must be held together, or when something has to be built.
