WHY SUPPORTING SMALL BUSINESSES FOR YOUR NEXT EVENT MATTERS

In a world full of options, choosing where to invest your event budget can be challenging.  

We’re here to make that choice clear and rewarding.  

By partnering with a small business, you’re not just securing an event – you’re guaranteeing a tailored experience, unmatched quality, and the knowledge that your money directly supports the local community.  

Here’s what choosing HOST really means for you and why it’s a choice that adds value to every aspect of your event.

1. Quality that speaks for itself

Our vetted network of venues, experiences, and entertainment are chosen for their consistent quality and expertise, ensuring your event shines from every angle. Because we collaborate directly with these specialists, you receive high-calibre service without the middleman, and without the worry. 

But it’s not just about quality – it’s about the relationships we’ve built.  

Our close partnerships with venues and suppliers give us greater flexibility to accommodate bespoke requests and budgets, ensuring every detail fits your vision.

And when the unexpected happens, these relationships allow us to smooth things over seamlessly.  

For example, when a client recently needed additional TV screens for a bespoke drag gameshow, we were able to pull a favour with the venue and provide the solution for free – saving £1500 and delivering an incredible experience.

That’s the kind of added value you can count on. 

Why this matters: Unlike standard event packages from bigger companies, we guarantee that each vendor is fully committed to delivering quality tailored to your vision – no shortcuts, no compromises. When you work with us, you can be confident your event will meet the highest standards.

 

 

2. Experiences tailored to you

We don’t believe in solely off-the-shelf event solutions.  

Instead, we take the time to understand your goals, values, and preferences, creating bespoke event packages that reflect your unique needs.  

Whether it’s a team-building event with a twist or a formal gathering with style, our packages are designed for maximum flexibility and interactivity, and our team ensures every detail is curated to bring your vision to life. 

Why this matters: Your event is about you and your team – not generic features or rigid experiences. With a HOST event, you’re getting an experience that’s crafted to suit your exact requirements, so your event feels personal, intentional, and memorable.

 

 

3. Transparent pricing and budget control

When you go the DIY route, costs can add up unexpectedly.

With our transparent, per-head pricing, there are no hidden fees, and every cost is agreed upon upfront. By managing your budget efficiently, we take the worry out of planning, so you know exactly where your money is going. 

Why this matters: Enjoy peace of mind and stay in control of your budget – there’s no need to track down additional vendors or fret about surprise costs. Our pricing includes all the essentials, freeing you up to focus on the experience, not the expense.

 

 

4. Supporting London’s community

When you choose HOST, your event also becomes an investment in London’s independent businesses.  

Every service we offer is sourced locally, contributing directly to the livelihoods of the most trendiest and diverse small-business ecosystem that makes London unique. 

Why this matters: Sustaining local jobs and strengthening the community is a feel-good choice with a direct, positive impact. Knowing that your team event supports the people who bring their passion to work every day adds a new level of meaning and purpose to your event.

 

 

Why choose HOST? More than just an event 

“We recently partnered with HOST for our Summer event, and their support was nothing short of exceptional.  

From the initial planning stages to ensuring our day was organised to the T, their team was incredibly professional, attentive, and proactive in ensuring that every detail was taken care of.  

HOST not only provided outstanding service but also expertly coordinated with various vendors, ensuring that everything was delivered on time and to the highest standard.  

Their constant communication kept us informed throughout the process, making us feel confident that the event was in good hands. HOST made sure everything ran smoothly and that our guests had an amazing time.  

Thanks to them, our Summer party was a huge success, and we couldn’t have done it without their expertise and dedication.  

We highly recommend them for any event planning needs and look forward to working with them again in the future!”
