We Got You Events has been in this industry for over seven years. We have seen what good looks like and what failure looks like. Here is what to look for — and what to avoid.
1. Verified Experience in Your Event Type
Not all events companies are the same. A company that specializes in weddings is not automatically the right choice for a corporate conference.
Ask specifically: have you produced an event of this type, at this scale, in the last 12 months? Ask for references you can call, not just photographs you can view. Photos show results. References reveal the process.
2. A Real Portfolio — Not Just Social Media Highlights
Every events company in Kenya has a highlight reel. What you need to see is the full picture — the brief they received, the budget they worked with, the challenges they encountered, and how they handled them.
A credible events company can show you a client list with contacts, a credentials document with verified contracts, and specific productions they can speak to in detail.
3. Transparency on Pricing
A professional events company will give you a detailed quotation — line by line, with clear inclusions and exclusions. If a company gives you a single lump-sum figure with no breakdown, that is a red flag.
What We Got You Events does: Every client receives a detailed quotation before any commitment is made. We walk through each line item together so there are no surprises — not during planning, not on the day, and not on the invoice.
4. A Production Process, Not Just a Price
Professional events production is a process. It involves a detailed brief, a site visit, a supplier coordination plan, a program run sheet, a technical rehearsal, and day-of management.
Ask them: what happens between when we sign the contract and when the first guest arrives?
5. A Team, Not a One-Person Operation
Events production requires multiple people on the ground simultaneously. Ask who will be on-site on the day of your event and what their specific roles are.
6. Insurance and Legal Standing
A professional events company in Kenya should be a registered business with a valid business permit, insurance cover, and the ability to issue VAT-compliant invoices.
7. Communication Before the Event
The way an events company communicates during the planning process is a direct preview of how they will communicate on the day. If they are slow to respond during planning, it will be worse on the day.
8. Honest Advice, Not Just Agreement
The best events companies will tell you when your budget is too small for what you want, when your timeline is unrealistic, or when a venue choice will create production problems.
What to Ask Any Events Company Before Signing
- Can you show me a verified client list with contacts I can call?
- What does your production process look like from brief to event day?
- Who specifically will be on-site on the day and what are their roles?
- Can you provide a detailed line-item quotation with VAT clearly stated?
- Are you a registered business and can you provide a formal contract?
- What happens if a key supplier fails on the day of the event?
- Have you produced an event of this type and scale in the last 12 months?
At We Got You Events, we welcome every one of these questions. We can provide a verified client list, a detailed credentials document, a formal contract, and a production process that is transparent from start to finish.
