BW Productions is one of the most renowned event companies in South Africa. Founded by Bibi Burness in 1993, the company has almost 30 years of experience bringing the biggest live events to major cities from Johannesburg to Cape Town.

The goal of BW Productions is simple: provide a complete event management service, planning and executing all events from the smallest company picnic to the biggest headline acts. We do it all.

Indeed, over the more than 9,000 events we’ve run in the past thirty years, we’ve learned more than a few industry tricks. And we’re ready to put them to work creating an event you’ll never forget. We know the secret to an extraordinary event is in the planning. We know you can never be underprepared; it’s why we always go above and beyond for clients.

Little wonder we’ve become your 360° one-stop-shop for event management. We’re quite simply the best event management company anywhere in South Africa. Just ask any of our over 500 clients.

Event management is a broad sector, covering the planning and execution of events, like conferences, conventions, concerts, trade shows, ceremonies, and festivals. Not all events need to be large-scale; they can be as small as a coffee morning between business partners. What is critical is the event management company manages that event’s overall logistics. Event management companies are responsible for running the entire event from the venue to the catering.

Large-scale events, on the other hand, rely on months of planning. With perhaps dozens of staff involved in the project, event managers need to ensure everything runs smoothly, culminating in an event to remember (for the right reasons).

In addition to running the event, event management companies may also manage the budget, hire vendors, and run the entire team responsible for the event. However, some larger companies may hire outside event companies to run only a specific portion of the event planning and execution.

Do you want to enjoy your big day? Or would you rather be rushing around stressed about everything going perfect? We’d choose the first option. That’s why you need an event company. Rather than stressing out, you can relax, greet your guests, and enjoy yourself safe in the knowledge that we’ve got you covered.

That’s not the only reason to hire an event company, however.

Saves time and money. With years of industry experience, we know how to save our clients a fortune. Whether it be using our connections with vendors to get a discount or simply saving you the time it takes to run an event properly. We also know a few insider tips on saving money, and we’re experienced negotiators always ready to spot a bargain.

Professional standard. Running a flawless and professional event looks easy – it’s anything but. Each event is a carefully managed machine from the design to the catering. You need a professional to run it. Using our experience, we’ll ensure everything looks fantastic and runs on time. We’ll bring you the WOW factor without breaking the bank.

Staying safe. There are numerous health and safety aspects to an event. It could be basics like food allergies or more significant problems like managing fire escapes. It’s easy to miss many of these essential aspects if you’re inexperienced in event management. However, event companies know how to run events efficiently and safely.

WOW factor. The WOW factor is the moment when it all comes together. When the food is delicious and the entertainment engaging. It’s when everyone is chatting and having a good time. But it takes a look of effort for something to feel effortless. That’s our speciality: wowing you, one event at a time.

BW Productions focus on corporate event management. However, we have run many successful personal events, like weddings or ceremonies. Our event management services cover festivals, conferences, ceremonies, weddings, formal parties, concerts, conventions, or company picnics.

Nor are we restricted in our locations. We can book acts and organise food and drink to be supplied to hotels, hospitals, pubs, cruise ships, parks, filming sites, event venues, even aircraft.

Whatever you want, we’ll always try to meet your requests. In fact, we’ve run some of the biggest events in South Africa, be it concerts for headline acts or corporate days for the high street brands. One thing is for sure; everyone leaves our events with a smile on their face.
