Event creators, memory makers, idea generators
Expert event management, technical production
and interactive entertainment in London.
Standing up against average-itis
The events industry is archaic, unregulated and full of average-itis. Equipment is often cheap, tatty or damaged, entertainment is naff or non-existent, the AV isn’t reliable and, of course, it’s always someone else’s fault.
We believe events should make everyone grin from ear to ear. So we’re on a mission to create memorable events that make guests feel giddy and event organisers even giddier.
If you’re going to do something, you should make it abso-blimmin-lutely brilliant. Because who remembers mediocre?
Matt Turner
Founder
Hi. We’re Clownfish.
We’re ridiculously energetic, enthusiastic and exuberant about events. We organise company events, conferences, team days and Christmas parties; the kind of events that people talk about loooong after the event.
We own the equipment
Our AV, staging, lighting and entertainment all come in-house - designed, owned and operated by our own team. Most agencies brief an AV company and an entertainment supplier separately and hope it fits together on the day. We already know it will.
One team, total accountability
Every element of your event sits with one team who are responsible for all of it. Most agencies are a coordinator sitting in the middle of 8 different suppliers, each with their own agenda. When something goes wrong, everyone points at someone else. With Clownfish there’s one number to call. No excuses, no finger pointing.
17 Years, nothing surprises us
We’ve delivered thousands of events across every venue type, scale and format you can imagine. That instinct, knowing what works, spotting problems before they happen, only comes from doing this hundreds of times.
Backed by our guarantee
We’re so confident in our team and our kit that we back every booking with a money-back guarantee. Anything that doesn’t deliver? It’s on us.
Our awards
When we’re recognised for doing things well, it’s the cherry on top of our cupcake.

How we guarantee grinning, giddy guests
Our business may be run on fun but it’s serious about events.
We employ event geeks with hearts of gold
We get our hands on the slickest AV equipment
We stockpile the most unusual and unexpected entertainment we can find
What we stand for
Four things we won’t compromise on, in the office or on the event floor. Don’t just take our word for it, either.
Infectious enthusiasm
We exist to make people happy. So yes, we are that annoyingly upbeat team overflowing with energy, enthusiasm and ideas. Even our tech team are unusually sociable and smiley.
Somehow all members of staff are always enthusiastic and happy even in sub-zero temperatures. Love working with them.
Positively Putney BID
Happy colleagues and happy clients
We’re generous with our ideas, energy and time. We bend over backwards for our clients and our team because we believe happy colleagues = happy clients.
Clownfish seem to have a knack for hiring the best people. Always smiling and enjoying their work and managing on the spot requests with a willingness you don’t often find.
Tracy Francis, Happy Customer
Picky and proud of it
We’re not interested in cutting corners. We own all our equipment and we keep it pristine. And when you work with us, you work with us: we rarely outsource, and if we do, we’re very picky about who we work with.
If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Callum, Tom and Alfie were amazing on the day and went the extra mile for us. Everything was easy and stress-free.
Laura-Jane, Happy Customer
A force for good
We’re empathetic and accepting and we use our small but mighty business to do great things. We’ll always prioritise a heart of gold over qualifications. We mentor misfits and help them belong. And we look after our people and our stuff so we don’t have to replace them.
Clownfish are just an awesome team to work with. You can tell how much they care about what they do. On top of that, they’re just genuinely fun people, which makes the whole experience so much better.

It doesn’t matter which staff arrive, we always get the same service delivery. They work really well with our students, with our staff, with our guests as well too, and that’s really important in a school environment.

Our fundraising has gone up significantly, a really big step up in our income levels because of the higher professionalism that we’re delivering with these events.

It was so important to me that this event went well. It was the first awards event for the magazine… we had so much good feedback, the atmosphere was great, the production worked so well. I just couldn’t say enough good things about it.

What I love about the Clownfish team is their can-do attitude. Nothing’s too big a problem, it’s resolved and you end up really with what I would call a perfect event.
Flawless in action
Every event tells a story, here are a few that went from vision to flawless reality.
FAQs from people like you
Can’t see yours? Our event experts are happy to help.
Who are Clownfish Events?
Clownfish Events is a London-based events company that designs, produces and runs corporate events, including conferences, Christmas parties, launch events and engagement days. We’ve been running events since 2009, with our own full-time team and our own equipment, so every part of your event is handled by people we employ.
Do you run whole events or supply entertainment?
Both. Clownfish started out in event entertainment, and plenty of people still know us for our games. Today we plan and run whole corporate events: the venue, the production and the entertainment, all delivered by our own team.
You can hand us the whole day, or book us for the part you can’t do yourself. Either way, you get the same team and the same guarantee.
Who will be running our event on the day?
Our own team. A full-time member of Clownfish leads every event, and you can meet them before the day. The crew are Clownfish people, trained by us, not day-rate crew we’ve never met.
We also own our equipment, our vans and our warehouses, so we’re not relying on a chain of other suppliers.
What is the Clownfish guarantee?
If the AV isn’t technically perfect or your guests don’t get stuck in, you don’t pay for it. As far as we know, nobody else in the industry offers that.
Read our guarantee for the full details.
Can you work with our procurement process?
Yes. We’re used to working with procurement, finance and HR teams. We can send our insurance certificates, risk assessments and method statements, fill in your supplier onboarding forms and work to your purchase order and invoicing process.
Tell us what your team needs on the first call and we’ll have it ready, so getting us set up as a new supplier doesn’t hold anything up.
Can we see your work before we book?
Yes please. Come and see our office and warehouses in Chessington, meet the team and have a look at the equipment behind your event. We also run open days, and we can share case studies and videos from events like yours.
Book a call and we’ll set it up.
Where do you run events?
Mostly in London, and across the South East. We also run larger events further afield for clients we already work with.
Don’t have a venue yet? We work with venues all over London and can help you find the right one, and sort the catering too.
The friendly faces behind your event
Full-time, in-house and very picky about the details. These are the people you’ll talk to from your first call right through to the big day.
