Commercial events need planning that works behind the scenes

Business events are about more than logistics. They need to support brand goals, attendee experience and operational efficiency. From conferences and product launches to exhibitions and internal events, Bark helps businesses find commercial event planners across the UK who manage complex requirements and deliver events that run smoothly.


Commercial event planners usually support businesses with:



  • Event concept development and planning

  • Venue sourcing and supplier coordination

  • Budget management and scheduling

  • On-site event management and logistics

  • Post-event wrap-up and reporting


Services can be scaled depending on whether support is needed for part of the event or end-to-end delivery.


Commercial planning differs from private events


Business events often involve larger budgets, multiple stakeholders and stricter timelines. Planners work around:



  • Corporate branding and messaging

  • Compliance and health and safety requirements

  • Supplier contracts and negotiations

  • Guest management and registration

  • Technical production and staging


Experience in commercial environments helps avoid costly mistakes.


When to hire a commercial event planner


You may want a professional planner if you are:



  • Organising a conference or trade event

  • Launching a product or service

  • Hosting a corporate celebration or awards event

  • Managing an exhibition or networking event

  • Coordinating events across multiple locations


Professional planning frees internal teams to focus on business priorities.


Choosing the right commercial event planner


Look for planners with experience delivering similar business events. Clear communication, transparent fee structures and strong supplier networks are key. Case studies and references from corporate clients are especially useful.

Greg, from Wonderland Events, was outstanding from start to finish. We held a canapées and manapées party on Sunday lunch-time, for my husband’s 70th birthday party. Greg was superb to deal with, coming up with creative ideas and flexible to our needs. Every single morsel was delicious and amazing. Greg’s team made sure that everyone was superbly looked after, with something to eat and drink all the time. We had a macaroon tower, instead of a birthday cake, which was a total showstopper. Ask Greg to know more. Greg and his team tidied everything away and left everything immaculate. It was a really special event and Greg and his team made sure that everyone enjoyed themselves and they were a huge support to me. Thank you Greg and your team. Pippa

We are so grateful to Kate for the incredible support she gave us on the morning of our wedding. She was extremely knowledgeable and immediately took control of the setup, which made such a difference and helped everything run smoothly and on time. Her calm, approachable manner put us at ease, and her professionalism really stood out. It was clear she knows exactly what she’s doing, and we felt completely confident in her hands. Thank you so much for all your help. We would highly absolutely recommend her services to anyone planning an event - you won’t regret it!

We ve used Greg and Georgia for a surprise birthday party at home and could not be happier with their service! Greg was of amazing help in the leading up to the party and super accommodating! Georgia was helping and serving guests on the day and was also super helpful ! Food quality was top notch (they cook many things I site - they even deep fry home made french fries in situ) and nicely presented Will definitely use them again
