BEE Events

You get a Harrogate team that can find your venue at no charge and then, if you want, run the whole event, from theming and staging to entertainment, catering suppliers and health and safety paperwork. BEE Events says its focus is corporate events that build employee engagement, such as awards dinners, conferences, family fun days and team days, and it also takes on private parties and weddings. If you are a PA or executive assistant organising on top of your day job, the agency says it set out to support people in that role.

Services

You can hand over a single task or the full programme. The agency lists these services on its What We Do page and its process page.

• Venue finding. A free venue-sourcing service, in the UK and abroad, in which it says it negotiates rates and terms with venues for you.
• Event design and creative. Concept development after a free first consultation, theming, decor styling and event design consulting.
• Production and staging. Bespoke stage sets, lighting and AV, sourced through AV specialists it works with, who it says also produce event videos.
• Entertainment, speakers and catering. Sourcing of acts, motivational speakers and team-building activities, and food from caterers it recommends.
• Delegate and project management. Delegate registration and engagement tracking, pre-event planning, budget control, contract and supplier management, and on-site management.
• Travel and destination management. Travel and logistics for international events and incentive trips.
• Safety and compliance. Risk assessments, method statements, checks on suppliers’ health and safety licences, and safety, security and regulatory planning.
• Digital. Interactive 3D showcases, virtual events, and corporate gifts and engagement boxes.

Sectors and clients

If you run staff recognition or engagement events in a professional services firm, the published work is closest to your brief. Four of its six case studies were for a law firm, covering two awards dinners, a family fun day and a senior management conference. The other two are a wedding and a private birthday party. The agency does not name its corporate clients.

Recent work

The case studies show how much of an event the agency takes on itself, which helps you judge what would be left for your own team. None of them is dated.

• Awards ceremony at the Royal Armouries, Leeds. A black-tie dinner and awards for a law firm with a medieval winter theme in the client’s purple. BEE says it handled venue sourcing, creative design, theming, lighting, entertainment, a finalists’ reception in the Hall of Steel, a bespoke awards stage, a finalists’ video and health and safety.
• Awards ceremony at the National Railway Museum, York. A 1920s-themed awards dinner in the museum’s Great Hall, with a finalists’ reception at a hotel across the road, a stage, a live band and a photo booth.
• Family fun day at Wetherby Racecourse. A day for 2,000 staff, family and friends with fairground rides, food vans, activity zones, a wet-weather plan, security and car parking. The agency reports that candidates mentioned the event at job interviews afterwards.
• Senior management conference in Barcelona. A three-day conference with excursions, travel and health and safety managed by the agency.

It also publishes a wedding at The Normans near York and a themed 18th birthday party for 150 guests at the De Grey Rooms in York.

Company

You deal with a small, founder-led business. Companies House lists BEE Events Limited, company number 11489365, as incorporated on 30 July 2018 and active, with Rebecca Wood as its sole director and accounts filed to 31 July 2026. The founder and CEO, Becky Wood, says she worked for 24 years as an executive PA in the legal, insurance and manufacturing sectors before starting the agency. The office is The Hive, Ground Floor, Osbourne House, 20 Victoria Avenue, Harrogate. The site does not give a team size or any industry memberships.

On terms, fees are quoted per event and cover planning, project management, on-site management, supplier vetting, public liability insurance and travel expenses. You pay a 50% non-refundable deposit within 7 days of the pro forma invoice and the balance 30 days before the event. The agency says it will refund its full management fee if you are not satisfied.

What to ask before you appoint them

• The venue-finding service is free to you, so ask whether venues pay the agency commission and whether it will show you every venue it considered.
• Which staging, lighting and AV suppliers would it use on your event, and who holds the contract with them?
• How does the management-fee refund guarantee work in practice, and how does it sit with the 50% non-refundable deposit?
• Its published case studies and blog post look several years old, so ask for two or three recent corporate events and a client you can speak to.
• Who from BEE will be on site on the day, and how many staff will cover an event the size of yours?
