Ever wondered what really goes into creating those flawless, magical events that seem to run effortlessly? At EventLab, we believe that while our events should look effortless to guests, the magic happens through meticulous planning, dedicated teamwork, and countless hours of behind-the-scenes work. Today, we're pulling back the curtain on our process.
Meet Our Team: Every EventLab event is brought to life by a dedicated team of 8-12 specialists including planners, designers, technical crew, and logistics coordinators. Based in Larnaca, we work across Cyprus to make every event unforgettable.
1 Discovery & Vision Setting
Every great event starts with understanding your vision. Our process begins with an in-depth consultation where we:
- Listen to your goals, dreams, and expectations
- Understand your brand or personal style
- Discuss budget parameters and priorities
- Identify key success metrics for your event
For our Cyprus destination weddings, we often start this process 12-18 months in advance, allowing us to secure the best venues and vendors.
"The most successful events start with the clearest vision. We don't just plan events—we translate dreams into reality. Whether it's a corporate gala in Nicosia or a beach wedding in Paphos, understanding the 'why' behind the event guides every decision we make."
2 Strategic Planning & Design
This is where we transform vision into actionable plans. Our design team creates detailed event blueprints including:
- 3D venue renderings and virtual walkthroughs
- Detailed mood boards capturing aesthetics
- Comprehensive vendor sourcing and coordination
- Technical specifications for lighting, sound, and staging
- Custom timeline with minute-by-minute precision
3 Vendor Coordination & Logistics
We maintain relationships with over 200 trusted vendors across Cyprus. Our coordination process includes:
- Catering Partners: From traditional Cypriot cuisine to international gourmet experiences
- Technical Crews: Specialized teams for lighting, sound, and AV production
- Floral Designers: Local flower specialists who understand Cyprus's seasonal availability
- Entertainment: Curated selection of musicians, DJs, and performers
We handle all contracts, deliveries, and setup schedules, ensuring every vendor arrives at the right time with exactly what they need.

4 Production & Setup
This is where the magic becomes visible. Our production phase typically starts 12-24 hours before the event and includes:
- Venue transformation (often working overnight)
- Technical equipment installation and testing
- Decor placement with millimeter precision
- Final lighting adjustments and audio checks
- Emergency plan implementation and safety checks
For larger events, we may have 20-30 crew members working simultaneously, each with specific, detailed instructions.
5 Event Execution
While guests enjoy the event, our team operates like a well-oiled machine behind the scenes. Each team member has specific responsibilities:
- Event Director: Oversees entire operation, makes real-time decisions
- Stage Manager: Coordinates all program elements and speakers
- Guest Experience Manager: Handles guest needs and special requests
- Technical Director: Manages all AV, lighting, and sound cues
- Logistics Coordinator: Handles vendor coordination and timing
We communicate via discreet headsets, ensuring seamless coordination without disrupting the guest experience.
6 The Invisible Details
What guests don't see is often what makes an event truly exceptional. Our invisible work includes:
- Backup equipment and contingency plans for every scenario
- Emergency medical staff on standby for large events
- Climate control management for outdoor Cyprus events
- Special dietary meal preparation and tracking
- Real-time social media monitoring and content capture
- Security coordination and access management
7 Breakdown & Post-Event
When the last guest leaves, our work continues. Our breakdown process includes:
- Careful packing of all decor and equipment
- Venue cleaning and restoration
- Inventory management and equipment return
- Vendor payment processing and feedback collection
- Client debrief and satisfaction assessment
We typically work 4-6 hours after an event ends to ensure everything is returned to perfect condition.

Why We Love What We Do
At the end of a 20-hour setup day or after coordinating hundreds of details, we're driven by those magical moments: the bride's smile when she sees her ceremony setup, the CEO's impressed nod during a product launch, the surprised delight at a birthday celebration. These moments—and the relationships we build along the way—are why we pour our hearts into every event.
