About Columbia Events

Columbia Events was created to bring professionalism back to event bar operations.

Founders Hadyn and Sean had noticed, whilst the rest of the event and hospitality sector were evolving immeasurably, there was a distinct lack of creativity and innovation within the bar operations world. Winding queues, unimaginative tariffs, poor quality drinks, archaic payment systems and rude staff etc.. Meaning event goers and, ultimately, event organisers were paying the price.

Columbia’s mission is to partner with exciting & inspiring event organisers, working collectively to provide attendees with joyful and seamless event experiences. Through in-house, bespoke bar designs to sourcing top-tier event teams, Columbia work tirelessly to innovate and provide an unwavering service and set new industry standards for the future.
