What Our Fans Say

I would like to take the pleasure of recommending Event Mechanics to anyone that has event creation and management needs. Angela has been working with me since 2009 on specific events in order to raise money for a non-profit organization. The events ranged from corporate breakfasts, golf days, ladies day workshops and gala dinners which raised in excess of R5million. They are creative, innovative, enthusiastic, reliable, dedicated and extremely hardworking from introduction to completion of the event.  Event Mechanics are always ready to offer their assistance in any area of event management. I am confident that they will be an asset to any organization they contract to. I would therefore strongly recommend them for any event management requirements. Projects: Breakfast events in aid of Noah (up to 35 events annually), CEO Golf Challenge 2011 & 2012, Noah Gala Dinner events and more…

Angela is calm, unflappable, resourceful, professional and energetic when it comes to any of the behind the scenes requirements for seamless event management. QualityLife Company prides itself on creating surprises and pulling new tricks out of the bag at our conferences and events but we’ve discovered that there’s nothing they can’t handle. Angela is reliable, fun and creative and are a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended!

Jennifer Christie

Consultant at MTN, Jennifer Christie Communications

Angela Clark of Event Mechanics provided event management support for MSF Southern Africa’s Scientific Day Southern Africa (https://www.msf.org.za/msf-scientific-day) for us in June 2016. She facilitated regular meetings with our committee with follow ups, and on-site running of the event on the day. Throughout our engagement with her, Angela was highly organised and effective in delivering a professionally run, hassle-free event. We were grateful for her warm, team player approach, gently and with diplomacy guiding us and advising us on the best way forward to create an event on budget, that met our goals without stress. We would strongly recommend Angela and Event Mechanics for future events.

Kate Ribet

Communications Advisor, Doctors without Borders (MSF)

MediaCom SA sourced Angela from Event Mechanics to assist with two small events during 2018, the first being to secure promotional materials and packs for a CSI initiative we were undertaking which included ensuring correct lists, sourcing sizes, procurement and the logistics around delivery – Angela was highly efficient, professional and worked to an extremely short timeline and with extremely limited budget and was fantastic in her delivery. The second event was the launch of a new learning hub (internal activation) which included concept, budget proposal, sourcing suppliers as well as event activation and post-campaign reconciliation. Again, Angela worked on short timelines with extremely tight budget and managed to pull off a very successful event for around 60 staff members. I would highly recommend her for any CSI/SED, activation, event management, be it small or large-scale.
