A calmer way to run an event.
LMC Events is a Sydney event management business built around one belief: the person whose name is on the event should get to enjoy it.
Built for the businesses the big agencies overlook.
Most event management is priced for large corporates. If you're a small or medium business marking twenty-five years, opening a second site, or just wanting a Christmas party the team talks about in January, the quotes come back at 15–25% of your budget and the conversation usually stops there.
So the work falls to whoever on staff is least able to say no. They plan it around their actual job, chase eleven suppliers on their lunch break, and spend the night itself running the room instead of enjoying it.
LMC Events exists to close that gap. Full event management, the same standard the big end of town gets, at a fee that a growing business can justify — and a single person accountable for all of it.
Libby McMurray, founder.
Two years in the events industry and a Diploma in Business (Event Management) — built on a hands-on foundation rather than a theoretical one. Before ever holding a run sheet, she worked as lead bartender across events at Cronulla RSL, learning guest engagement, teamwork and how a floor actually runs when a room is full.
That grounding led to founding LMC Events and delivering its first event: Ebro Armaturen Pacific's 25th anniversary on Sydney Harbour, managed from concept to execution.

“Seeing months of planning transform into such a memorable celebration made every day and night worth it.”
Four things we won't compromise on.
Clear pricing, always
You see an itemised budget before anything is booked, supplier costs are passed through at cost, and our fee is a stated percentage of a number you've already approved. No markups hidden inside a supplier invoice.
One person, all the way through
You won't be handed from a salesperson to a planner to a coordinator on the day. The person you have the first call with is the person standing in the room when your guests arrive.
Honest advice, even when it costs us
If your date isn't achievable, if the budget doesn't match the vision, or if you genuinely don't need an event manager for what you're planning — we'll tell you. A referral you trust is worth more than a job we shouldn't have taken.
Calm is the deliverable
Things go wrong at events. A supplier is late, the weather turns, a speaker overruns. The value isn't in pretending that won't happen — it's in you never finding out that it did.
Why we're charging 10%.
Because we'd rather build a reputation than a margin.
LMC Events is new. What we need most right now isn't a high fee — it's a handful of events done exceptionally well, and clients happy enough to say so. So for our first few clients the management fee is 10% of the event budget, against an industry norm of 15–25%, with a lower daily and hourly rate than standard for any extra on-site days.
Nothing about the service is reduced to get there. Same planning, same supplier relationships, same person on the floor. The only thing that's smaller is the invoice — and that offer won't stay open indefinitely.
Sydney, and anywhere worth travelling for.
We plan events across Sydney — the CBD, the harbour, the inner west and out to the suburbs — in function venues, restaurants, offices, private homes and on the water. If your event is further afield, ask us. We'd rather have the conversation than assume the answer.
