Everything on the run sheet, sorted
Food is where we started. Our events team now books and manages everything around it, so procurement onboards one supplier and you deal with one team.
One person who owns your event
Every event gets a dedicated event manager who takes your brief, books every supplier and keeps the run sheet. Our events team is led by Manny Soultan, National Event Manager, Premium Hospitality.
From the first idea to the final guest, we bring every element together with purpose.
We've seen every way an event can go sideways

“The team took ownership of logistics and vendor coordination, reducing the workload on our side”
“Hands on support on the day in Melbourne was incredibly helpful to adapt the office to be suitable for 80+ guests”

What does EatFirst Events manage?
Food, drinks, venues, staffing, photographers, entertainment, transport, styling and equipment hire, in any combination. Tell us what you need and we'll shape the plan around your format, budget and headcount.
What kinds of corporate events do you run?
Board lunches, client functions, conferences, offsites, product launches, town halls, EOFY and Christmas parties and milestone celebrations. We also create hosted long-table dinners, styled off-site experiences and market-style activations.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for large or staffed events and for peak periods like EOFY and December. We also handle short lead times, with same-day delivery available in many capital city CBD areas when the brief suits it.
How is an event quoted?
Send your brief and we'll come back within 24 hours with two or three tailored options. Pricing depends on guest numbers, menu, service style, staffing, equipment, venue and set-up.
Can you cater for dietary requirements and allergies?
Yes. Vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, dairy free, halal and kosher requests are part of normal planning, and dietary details are clearly labelled on the day.
Do you provide staff, set-up and pack-down?
Yes. Chefs, waitstaff, bar staff, equipment, set-up, service and pack-down, all coordinated by your dedicated event manager.
Why use EatFirst instead of booking suppliers directly?
You brief one team and pay one invoice, instead of managing a separate quote, contract and invoice for every supplier. Procurement onboards one supplier, and someone is accountable on the day.
Where do you run events?
Anywhere in Australia, including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, the Gold Coast and Newcastle. Tell us where your event is and we'll confirm the details.
Can we see examples of past events?
Yes. Our events book shows 21 pages of events we've delivered across nine formats. Open it from this page, or ask your event manager for examples close to your brief.
Your next event, handled.
Five quick fields and your event manager comes back within 24 hours with options that fit, and no lock-in.
