How to Build an Event Management Company from Scratch
People often see the final event.
The lights.
The stage.
The happy guests.
The photographs.
What they don’t see is everything that happened before the first event ever took place.
Every event company starts somewhere.
Usually with one opportunity, a lot of hard work and more determination than resources.
The journey of Baba Saab Events has been no different.
Over the years, Himani Sharma has learnt that building an event company isn’t about opening an office or printing visiting cards.
It’s about earning people’s trust, one event at a time.
The First Event Is the Hardest
Getting your first client feels almost impossible.
People want to know your experience.
They ask for previous work.
They want to see photographs.
But everyone starts with an empty portfolio.
That’s why the first opportunity matters so much.
Treat it like your biggest event, even if it’s your smallest project.
One satisfied client often brings the next one.
Relationships Matter More Than Advertisements
The event industry runs on trust.
A happy client tells their friends.
A venue manager recommends your name.
A photographer remembers working with your team.
These relationships slowly become your biggest source of work.
Money can buy advertisements.
It cannot buy genuine recommendations.
Learn Every Part of the Business
When you’re starting out, you don’t get the luxury of doing only one job.
One day you’re meeting clients.
The next day you’re calling vendors.
Then you’re checking hotel rooms, arranging transport and solving last-minute problems.
Those experiences teach lessons that no classroom can.
Build a Team That Cares
Skills can be taught.
Attitude is much harder to teach.
People who genuinely care about guests and clients become the biggest strength of any event company.
A strong team doesn’t wait to be told what to do.
They notice problems early and quietly solve them.
That’s the kind of people every business needs.
Don’t Chase Every Project
In the beginning, it’s tempting to accept every enquiry that comes your way.
We’ve learnt that saying “yes” to everything isn’t always the right decision.
Take projects you can handle well.
A smaller event done properly creates a stronger reputation than a large event that leaves people disappointed.
Mistakes Will Happen
No event company can honestly say every event has been perfect.
Something unexpected always finds a way to happen.
A delayed flight.
Rain at an outdoor venue.
A last-minute schedule change.
The important thing isn’t avoiding every problem.
It’s staying calm and finding a solution before the client starts worrying.
Experience grows one challenge at a time.
Keep Learning
The event industry changes every year.
Guest expectations change.
Technology changes.
Design trends change.
Learning should never stop.
The companies that continue growing are the ones that stay curious.
What We’ve Learnt at Baba Saab Events
One thing Himani Sharma often shares with young entrepreneurs is,
“People don’t remember how big your office was. They remember how well you handled their event.”
That thought has shaped the way we work at Baba Saab Events.
Every project is treated with the same level of care, whether it’s an intimate family celebration or a large corporate event.
Because every client is trusting us with an important day in their life.
That responsibility never becomes ordinary.
A Final Thought
Building an event management company doesn’t happen overnight.
It takes patience.
Long working days.
Difficult conversations.
Countless site visits.
And a willingness to keep going even when things don’t go as planned.
But slowly, one successful event leads to another.
One happy client introduces the next.
And before you realise it, you’re no longer building a company.
You’re building a reputation.
And in the event industry, that’s the most valuable thing you’ll ever own.
