The smart event hire directory

One event. Three phone calls, not fifteen.

Tell EventSpeed about your event once. It works out everything you need, marquees to toilets to trackway, then finds the fewest suppliers who can cover the lot. Fewer contacts, fewer deliveries, fewer invoices.

How it works

Describe it once. We do the ring-round.

STEP 01

Describe your event

Guest count, date, venue type: 60 seconds. Our formulas and AI build a complete kit list, down to how many toilets you legally need.

STEP 02

Get the minimum package

The optimiser solves for the fewest suppliers covering everything, weighted by distance, ratings, and who delivers and sets up.

STEP 03

Track it to the last chair

One app: what is ordered, what is confirmed, delivery and collection dates, outstanding items, and every supplier message in one place.

22 categories, one search

Everything an event needs to hire

From the marquee down to the last teaspoon: every capability mapped, so the optimiser knows exactly who can cover what.

The optimiser

14 items. 3 suppliers. Zero spreadsheets.

Most organisers ring 12 to 15 companies and juggle the replies by email. EventSpeed solves it as one problem: the smallest set of trusted suppliers that covers your entire list, closest depots first.

The planner app · launching with the optimiser

From first quote to final collection

Your whole event in one place. No more scrolling email threads the night before setup day.

Live status on every item

Needed → Quoted → Ordered → Confirmed → Delivered → Collected. See exactly where each item stands at a glance.

Delivery & collection calendar

Every drop-off and pick-up plotted against your event dates, with conflict warnings if a collection lands before the party ends.

Message every supplier in-app

One thread per supplier per event. They just reply to an email and it lands in your thread. No chasing, no lost quotes.

Outstanding items, front and centre

Anything unsourced gets a countdown and a one-tap fix: re-run the optimiser for just the gaps.

Why we built it

Every organiser knows these three days

FIELD WEDDING · 140 GUESTS

"A field, a date and 140 guests. Fifteen phone calls later you find out about trackway, because the caterer's van has already sunk into the gateway."

01
The one nobody warns you aboutThe optimiser adds trackway before the van does
VILLAGE FETE · EVERY SUMMER

"The fete went beautifully. The marquee is still on the green on Wednesday because nobody chased the pickup, and the parish council wants a word."

02
The collection that never cameCollection dates tracked per item, with conflict flags
SUMMER PARTY · 600 GUESTS

"Six suppliers, six delivery charges, six invoice formats and a week of email tennis. Half of them could have covered each other's list."

03
