Bedford Gala Evening 2023 – The Future is Bright!

The Keito team were delighted to be involved with the Bedford Group inaugural Gala held on Saturday 6th May. The event was hosted by special guest Hans, whilst also featuring live music from South Australian band Bermuda Bay.

The amazing event saw all proceeds raised creating jobs & opportunities for those with a disability in South Australia. Throughout the evening guests were treated to a custom gin bar, silent auction, photo booth, 3-course meal, and locally sourced beverages. A crowd favourite was certainly Hans, especially when he played the Nutbush! There were certainly a few sore bodies the next day after all the dancing the crowd got involved in!

Keito was responsible for:

  • Event management
  • Onsite management
  • Venue liaison
  • Entertainment and staff coordination

A comment from Bedford CEO Myron Mann: ‘It was wonderful to see so many people all dressed up in a beautiful venue for a truly important cause’.

We absolutely loved working with the Bedford Group for this incredible event, we hope to see it all again next year!

From the moment you were involved with the planning of our function I knew it was going to be a success. On the night you and your staff made the event flow seamlessly and our 300 guests have since passed very favourable comments regarding the night and the launch of our new office and identity.

From our perspective we loved the activation, how it presented and stood out on the day. We were really happy with the bus positioning too. Keito were also so easy to work with, so it was a pleasure.

It’s been a big year for us party-wise and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Keito to others…hopefully we’ll be able to work with Keito again. We have some amazing memories that wouldn’t be nearly as amazing if it wasn’t for Keito and the team.

The logistics required to promote and organise the 12th Annual AIMIA Awards are substantial, demanding and are judged very publicly at the night itself. It was wonderful to have a fresh outlook, new ideas and an extremely dedicated event management team. Your contribution, management and above all hard work in so many areas crucial to the success of the AIMIA Awards is greatly appreciated.

We were extremely pleased with the outcome and our guests further endorsed this after the event. Having to organize the event with a few contacts across two different states proved not to be a hindrance given your finessed communication and  skills. Your team managed to pull all the information and requests together to ensure that nothing was missed on the night.

We engaged Keito Events to assist with the planning and delivery of the University’s inaugural ‘Showcase of Emerging Technology’, an event held on our North Terrace campus and designed to engage the university community through showcasing cutting edge and innovative technology. Being a relatively large event (40+ technology vendors, 1000 attendees), and a first for the University, working with an experienced team in Keito was invaluable, and a key factor in the success of the event. Beth and the team were friendly and professional, and their enthusiasm and attention to detail made it a great experience from start to finish.
