5-Step Approach

Explore our streamlined five-step process, meticulously designed to transform your event vision into a stunning reality.

Event production with creative flair.

  • At Wantz Events, your vision is our blueprint. Our initial consulting stage is all about understanding your company vibe, and your event goals. Whether you're planning a corporate event in Chicago, or an incentive trip to Portugal, our team of experts will work closely with you to define those goals, audience, and thematic elements. We will ensure every detail aligns perfectly with your vision, setting the foundation for an unforgettable event.

  • Moving into the ideation stage, our team takes your goals and determines what event elements will bring them to life. The conceptualization of the event includes theme development, considering how to strategically tie in creative branding elements, and what surprise and delight items we can get in front of guests to create memorable experiences! Whether it be executives parachuting onto a WWII ship, a fireworks show to a live performance by Train, or a Ping Pong Master getting the C-Suite up and running around like excited children (all of these have happened!).

  • Transforming ideas into reality, where our creativity continues to shines! Our Chicago and Lisbon-based teams blend innovative design with practical logistics, crafting bespoke event elements that resonate with your theme. From breathtaking venues to cutting-edge technology, we curate each aspect to create a cohesive and impressive experience. At Wantz Events, we don't just plan events; we create immersive experiences that tell your story.

  • The planning stage is where your event takes shape as coordination is key to a flawless execution. We combine strategic thinking with creative flair, developing a comprehensive plan that covers every aspect of your event. Our meticulous approach to coordinating every component ensures a seamless flow from start to finish. As we handle vendor management, scheduling, and on-site logistics, ensuring every piece falls perfectly into place, from timelines to technical requirements, our planning process is thorough and transparent.

  • Our skilled team of event producers blend creativity and logistics with technical expertise. From concept to completion, our team ensures every aspect of production is handled with precision and flair. Whether it's a corporate conference, a grand gala, or an intimate gathering, we tailor our approach to meet your needs. We manage the venue, food & beverage, lighting, sound, staging, branding, swag, and every detail in between to create a seamless and impactful experience. Our proactive problem-solving means you can relax and enjoy your event, confident that every detail is under expert control!

  • "The Wantz team has been our go-to partner for our top executive and commercial conference needs. They bring a high class touch, and attention to detail, every step of the planning process and throughout the event. They felt like a true extension of my team. My only regret is not getting to work with them more often!"

    Sarah Z., EVP, CHRO

  • "Wantz Events and Sarah are an absolute joy to work with. The attention to detail on every single piece of a project, as well as the depth of knowledge Sarah has about the event industry, makes working with her and the team that much easier! She is always on top of her work and provides the highest quality events."

    Patrick C., CEO

  • "We were beyond impressed by the planning, attention to detail, execution and genuine care exhibited by Wantz Events for our corporate executive summit. They delivered advanced planning, communication prep, location and full vendor management. Our event was on-time, under-budget and dubbed by our CEO as 'spectacular!'. We could not have delivered such an outcome without the partnership and leadership of Wantz Events!"
