What We Do
Full Service Planning
From Concept to Fruition, We've Got You Covered.
Our Full Service Planning is all about bringing your vision to life, seamlessly guiding you from brainstorm to execution. For any event, there are many steps along the way to make that vision come to life. This service essentially lays all of those elements in our hands and provides start-to-finish planning, production, and execution of your event. We take care of every aspect, from contracting and venue sourcing to logistics, vendor management, design and décor, audio/visual, entertainment and artist booking, and day of execution.
NonProfit Services
From Elegant to Over-the-Top, Nonprofit Events Give us LIFE!
With a unique understanding of nonprofit administration and the specific needs of fundraising events, the Lott Entertainment team is your trusted partner for philanthropic success. We've been in your shoes, and in fact, Lott Entertainment was created specifically to fill the void where nonprofit marketing, operations, and development turns into ball/gala/festival planning. Our creative background in the arts gives us a unique perspective to manage design and décor-heavy, theme-based events, infusing each gathering with artistic flair and purpose.
Meeting Planning
Ensuring the Perfect Mix of Function and Fun. We Take Your Brand to the Next Level.
Taking a project-conscious approach, we produce conferences and corporate events that are tailor-made for the client’s specific needs. From agenda development to event flow, meal planning to special receptions and outings, registration setup to check-in, we handle every aspect with precision, ensuring a smooth and memorable experience for all attendees. We guarantee expert venue coordination, production, and audio/visual management to ensure your message is delivered loud and clear. Our meticulous timeline management guarantees events run like clockwork, paving the way for repeat attendance and ongoing success.
Venue & Hotel Sourcing
Sourcing the Best Location & Accommodations for Your Special Event
Venue selection isn't just a step in the grand scheme of event planning; it's one of the single most important functions of your event. Whether you are searching for a unique stand-alone venue for your corporate meeting, a hotel that combines meeting space and accommodations, or a simple hotel room block for your staff and traveling attendees, we have the tools to cast a wide net and find the ideal venue tailored to your needs. We coordinate and conduct thorough site visits, put together expertly crafted RFPs for meeting venues as well as negotiate and finalize contracts to ensure you get the best value every time. And, as an IATA Accredited company, Lott Entertainment can source and negotiate your hotel contracts anywhere in the world for FREE!
Project Management
You Can't Do it All. That's Where We Come In.
Sometimes all you need is another team member or expertise on a specific project within your overall event scope. We can fill that void and manage projects within an event to ensure that it receives the attention and skill it deserves. Are you planning a gala and need help organizing and creating a beautiful auction? Are you launching a brand and need to manage and broadcast a live stream during a big event? Do you need an artist or entertainer to push your event over the top? Do you need someone with expertise in ticketing/registration software and inventory management? At Lott Entertainment, we've done it all, and can fit in wherever you need us. As the staff member entrusted with putting together your organization's special event, you can rest easy knowing that whatever project you need to outsource is executed with precision and skill.
Fully Customized Planning
Customized Planning to Fit Your Budget
At Lott Entertainment, we firmly believe that there is no cookie cutter approach to any project or event. You are unique, and your needs for your event are not the same as any other client's needs. The first step in customized planning is to discuss the specific scope of your event, after which we will present several scope options tailored to meet your individual needs and preferences. From intimate gatherings to grand affairs, we offer multiple scope options to ensure that our planning package aligns seamlessly with your budget, without compromising on quality or creativity.
