Event Suppliers & Services
Event suppliers for Melbourne and Sydney
Bring your event staffing and supplier requirements into one enquiry with One Events. Outline catering, entertainment, audio visual equipment and production needs separately so each service has a clear scope and schedule.
You can work with your existing suppliers and request the gaps you need covered. Tell us what your venue provides, what is already booked and the services you want to discuss for your corporate function, launch, conference or private celebration.
For bar staff, wait staff or general event crew, follow the dedicated staffing pages. Additional supplier requirements are reviewed separately for your booking.
Send your event and supplier brief. Suppliers introducing their business can email One Events with service categories, operating areas and business details.
Live Entertainment & DJs
Entertainment for functions and live events
Enquire about DJs, live musicians, MCs and other entertainment for your Melbourne or Sydney event. Describe the audience and programme: background music for a reception, a hosted presentation, a performance slot or several event areas.
Prepare your entertainment brief
Share the date, venue, attendance, preferred style, performance times and budget parameters. Include setup access, sound restrictions, staging, power and the audio visual equipment already supplied. Specify whether you need an MC, DJ, live act or a combination.
For corporate functions and brand activations, provide the running order and brand requirements. For public and live events, separate entertainment from entry, hospitality and crew staffing so responsibilities are clear.
Discuss your entertainment requirements with your programme and venue details.
Food & Beverage Businesses
Catering and food service support
Include catering requirements in your event enquiry, from canapés and grazing-style service to buffet or seated dining. Describe the menu style, guest numbers, dietary requirements, serving times and venue facilities.
Separate catering supply from staffing
Food preparation, catering supply, equipment and service staff are different requirements. Tell us whether your caterer provides wait staff, kitchen support and clearing. For extra food and beverage attendants or bar staff, specify duties and shifts separately.
Plan equipment, access and clearing
Include kitchen access, refrigeration, serving areas, glassware, crockery, waste facilities and loading arrangements. For bar service, explain who supplies beverages, ice and equipment. Include preparation before guests arrive and clearing after service.
Explore private function staffing or conference hospitality support, then submit your catering and staffing brief.
Audio Visual & Event Production
Audio visual and event production enquiries
Outline sound, lighting, presentation screens, staging and production needs for your conference, launch, business function or live event. Keep technical requirements separate from general event staffing so the work can be reviewed with the appropriate supplier.
Brief the technical requirements
Include venue plans, audience numbers, presentation or performance format, microphones, screen content, power access and setup and pack-down windows. Explain which equipment the venue supplies and whether you need installation, operation or onsite technical support.
Clarify crew responsibilities
General event crew can assist with agreed practical tasks under your onsite supervisor. Identify rigging, electrical work, machinery operation and specialist tasks separately. Include venue inductions and supplier access instructions.
For conferences and exhibitions, send session and room requirements. For festivals and live events, include production access and opening times. Discuss production and staffing support in one enquiry.
How to find and choose event vendors
Start with the services your venue and existing suppliers already cover. Group the remaining requirements into catering, entertainment, audio visual production and staffing, then give each supplier the same event date, location, guest count and running order.
Compare the scope, not just the headline price
Check what each proposal includes: equipment, delivery, setup, operating staff, service times and pack-down. Ask about exclusions and confirm who supplies items shared between teams, such as power, staging, glassware and waste facilities. A clear scope makes quotes easier to compare.
Check the practical fit
Review relevant event experience and examples of previous work. Confirm venue access, sound limits, technical requirements and the named onsite contact. Keep agreed responsibilities and timings in writing so catering, production and hospitality teams can work from the same plan.
For a launch or function, pair supplier arrangements with product launch staff or venue hospitality support. Send your event and supplier brief to One Events.
Introduce your supplier business
Suppliers can email One Events with their service categories, Melbourne or Sydney operating areas and business details.
