The 5 Best Event Planners in Hong Kong That Everybody’s Hiring
When it comes to planning an event, I used to be the “I’ll just handle it myself” type. A little Pinterest inspo here, a checklist there, and I’d somehow pull it all together.
But lo and behold, the Lord tested my DIY skills one day when I attended a friend’s wedding and it looked like a stunt off of Cirque du Soleil. I didn’t even know you could hire fire-breathers for a wedding!
That’s when I learned that hiring the right event planner can be a total game-changer. And if you want to dethrone my friend for having the event of the century, here are the right people you can trust.
| How much does an event planner cost in Hong Kong? The cost of a full-service event planner in Hong Kong starts at $50,000 for small-scale events. However, more comprehensive events like weddings can easily start at $100,000. In summary, it depends on how big the wedding is and what the planning package includes. |
1. Chunky Onion Productions Limited
Location: Unit G, 9th Floor, Effort Industrial Centre, 2 Kung Yip St, Kwai Chung
Contact: +852 3188 1874
Opening hours: Monday – Friday: 9:00 AM – 7:00 PM
One of Chunky Onion Productions Limited’s key strengths is its all-in-one service package. From providing venue recommendations to full project design and management, they handle every detail.
Clients appreciated their ability to include digital platforms for registration. Lucky draws also add a modern and fun touch to events.
However, the real game-changer is their in-house audio-visual setup. Unlike many event planners who outsource AV, Chunky Onion owns all the necessary equipment. This includes LED walls and sound systems, along with their own dedicated technical team.
This setup allows them to seamlessly integrate AV into the event design, offering better value for money. With their in-house carpentry team, they can also create custom-made props, backdrops, and decor without relying on external vendors.
Overall, we like this kind of setup as it maintains the consistency of the workmanship quality. It also simplifies communication which is always a plus for clients.
If there’s one drawback, it’s that their services don’t come cheap. While they offer immense value, their comprehensive approach and high-quality output may stretch the budgets of smaller companies.
But if you’re willing to invest, the value for money is definitely there.
Highly recommended
“Chunky Onion team is so professional, even we got lots of last minutes amendments. Dave and Phoebe are so helpful! The event planning is so well, the whole party went smooth and all my guests had a great night! Highly recommend this production house!”

2. BAM Works Limited
Location: 88 Queensway 35/F, Two Pacific Place, Admiralty
Contact: +852 9432 8881
Opening hours: Monday – Friday: 10:30 AM – 6:30 PM
What stood out to us the most with BAM Works Limited was their “all-in-one” service model.
They cover all aspects of event production, including conceptualization and execution. This means there’s no need to worry about outsourcing or managing multiple vendors.
Their comprehensive service ensures seamless coordination and gives clients peace of mind, which we noticed was a highly valued aspect for many past customers.
BAM Works’ extensive professional network is also a winner, especially within entertainment and pop culture. Their connections allow them to offer niche entertainment that’s tailored to the event’s brand or theme.
We see this as an advantage for people looking to elevate the guest experience with rare or exclusive entertainment.
Another strong point is their adaptability. Clients mentioned BAM Works’ willingness to take on challenging projects outside typical event formats, such as outdoor festivals and eco-friendly events.
On the downside, we noted that their services may lean towards the pricier end. Though considering they’re a full service event management team, the investment is worth it.
Goes above and beyond
“This was my first time working with BAM Works! Team, and they are absolutely professional and proactive. They did not only deliver what they had committed, but also went above and beyond by offering suggestions and advices on their responsible areas and even other aspects of the event. Will definitely recommend!”

Flawless events

3. Entertaining Asia Limited
Location: 701, 7th Floor, Yu Yuet Lai Building, 43-55 Wyndham St, Central
Contact: +852 2815 7919
Opening hours: Monday – Friday: 10:00 AM – 7:00 PM
What truly distinguishes Entertaining Asia is its comprehensive event management. Their team collaborates closely with clients, where they develop easy-to-follow event plans that integrate smoothly with existing workflows.
The people we interviewed also highlighted the creativity that they bring to event concept creation. They can craft unique themes and engaging experiences that are ideal for big events.
Moreover, their on-site support team enhances the experience. This ensures flawless execution during the entire event, whether for large music festivals or private yacht parties.
With 20 years of experience, their end-to-end event solutions are seamless. They offer full creative services and an on-site support team.
What’s great is that they’re flexible enough to accommodate both small and big gatherings under their wing.
While their rates are favorable and they deliver quality results, there’s little transparency on their vendor network. This can be particularly concerning for clients who want a more consistent approach to events.
We recommend reaching out to the coordinator for more info before committing to a schedule.
Professional and timely
“I worked with Nick and his team several times in the past few years. They’re always provided a professional and timely visa services. We’re glad we can entertain Hong Kong with their help!”

Puts 150% effort
“I always love these events, always top level high class and quality events. Would highly recommend this company to anyone. You can see they always put 150% effort into whatever they do, and everything goes off without a hitch, at least as a guest I do not notice anything. Nick is probably one of the most notable and knowledgeable people in the industry.”

4. Pink Wedding Hong Kong
Location: 14 Lan Kwai Fong, Central
Contact: +852 9191 9500
After our assessment of Pink Wedding Hong Kong, we were impressed by their detailed approach to wedding management. Specializing in large weddings of up to 600 guests, they provide a seamless experience from planning to execution.
One of the standout features is their budget management. They assist clients in budget management and offer rounded support to allocate funds only to essential areas, which are crucial for any successful event.
We also found that the team is adept at recommending and coordinating with various vendors, which makes the planning process less stressful for clients. This attention to detail in logistics management sets them apart from many competitors.
However, while their services are comprehensive, the reliance on a fixed timeline may limit flexibility during the event. This could pose challenges if last-minute changes arise.
On the good side, they offer two primary planning packages: Interactive Event Planning and Event Day/Banquet Coordination, both tailored for up to 600 guests.
The Interactive Event Planning package is designed to involve clients every step of the way. People prefer this for ongoing communication, as the team coordinates details through phone, email, and in-person meetings.
For those seeking a more hands-on approach on the event day, Pink Wedding’s Event Day/Banquet Coordination package is ideal. Customers can expect rehearsal management, detailed event timelines, and coordination with vendors.
With both options, we definitely appreciate the flexibility they offer.
Professional and experienced
“MC Ingrid is very professional and experienced, she got a very attractive voice which made her presentation even better. She is very nice and easy to deal with, and I can see her did a lot of preparation before the show. With her help on our wedding night, there are nothing to worry for us.”

5. The Wedding Company Ltd.
Location: 1903, W50, 50 Wong Chuk Hang Rd, Wong Chuk Hang
Contact: +852 2869 4222
After seeing The Wedding Company Ltd., it’s clear why they’re one of Hong Kong’s premier wedding planning services. Their commitment to delivering high-quality weddings has earned them a solid reputation, particularly among couples who don’t mind spending a pretty penny.
What truly stands out is their attention to detail, with services ranging from attire consultation to custom floral styling. We were impressed by how they curate every aspect, ensuring they meet the client’s vision.
For couples with diverse needs, they also offer comprehensive services such as ceremony coordination and specialized guest management. This flexibility in planning is something that we always look for in providers.
Their destination wedding service is particularly impressive. Couples who dream of an exotic ceremony in Europe or a serene beach wedding will find their dreams within reach, thanks to the company’s extensive network of global vendors.
That said, they’re definitely among the most expensive wedding planners you’ll ever book in Hong Kong. And they only work on weddings, so it’s best to look elsewhere for other events.
Most professional planners
“Michele, Rainbow and the team are some of the most professional planners I have met / worked with. They were very organized throughout the wedding planning process – from day 1 of engagement through the big day (even with some of the follow-up tasks after the wedding), especially under the covid circumstances that made the planning extra difficult. I can’t recommend them enough.”
