The Sand Lovers
Event Management
Why Choose Our Team? We are a full service event management company with over 20 years experience in event management, project management and logistics. Our team has a proven track record and experience combination to host major events (over 40 to-date). Not just anyone can manage or produce a successful
sand sculpting event, it takes years of experience and a passion to get the job done right. Are you willing to take the risk of not having the right team operating your event? Simple, we have the "proven" experience. Currently we are managing four annual sand
sculpting events and each of them are not only successful but, growing each year. Why? Because we do our research to see if the event would (along with many other considerations) be beneficial to the local economy and have sustainability.
100% Turn key - We manage everything, from sculptors to equipment.
Project Management - The key to the success of an event: We don't just claim to be project managers, we are educated and certified project managers. We take the time to plan everything. Project, communication and logistic plans are essential to any successful event.
Site Development, Set up and management - Including to scale plans/layout.
Vendors - We have a database of hundreds of vendors waiting to attend your new event. We are accustom to managing well over 100 vendors for one event.
Permitting - Along with permitting over 12 major sand sculpting events, as a previous Town Manager Bill has extensive experience in permitting and working with local, State and Federal Governments.
Volunteer Management - Volunteers can be not only a very important part of an event, they can quickly become the backbone. In all of our events, we coordinate and team with hundreds of volunteers.
Web site Management - We have been designing, developing and maintaining web sites for well over 20 years.
Logistics Planning - One step further than project management. You have to have a firm understanding of logistics to ensure everything arrives on-site at the scheduled time. There are many, many moving parts to operating an event. Poor Logistics cost you money.
Licensed, Insured, Bonded - We are licensed, insured and bonded and have been since we opened our company. It's an important question to ask "DO YOU HAVE INSURANCE AND WHAT KIND?"....DO NOT RISK hiring a company that does not have suitable insurance or that is unable to add you as an additional insured on their policy.
Consulting - Maybe you don't want to hire us to run your event and just need some guidance, we would love to be your consultant.
Budget Management - When it comes to event management, this is one area that is commonly over looked. We have managed sand sculpting budgets exceeding 200k and in the corporate world over 300m dollar budgets.
Like we said......100% turn key.
