Weddings and luxury private events are no longer cookie-cutter affairs. From multi-day destination celebrations to immersive at-home soirées, today’s events are more personalised, creative, and technically complex than ever before, thanks to bigger budgets! Behind the visual magic lies a workforce of planners, designers, producers, and operational leads - all working in perfect harmony.
At Live Recruitment, we specialise in helping production houses, suppliers, and creative agencies find the talent they need to bring these extraordinary moments to life.
The new era of private events
Today’s clients expect more than just an event - they want an experience. Think immersive lighting design, curated menus, multi-sensory environments, and performances that rival the main stage at Glastonbury. Weddings, milestone birthdays, and even corporate-hosted private events now feature:
•Architectural structures and striking venues
•Celebrity appearances and world-class entertainment
•High-spec AV production and stage design
•Florals as art installations
•Full-service hospitality with impeccable detail
Delivering on these demands takes more than creativity. It requires technical knowledge, flawless logistics, and an experienced team of professionals who know how to operate under pressure - often within tight turnaround times.
