HOW WE WORK WITH YOU
Every client has a different starting point. Some arrive with a fully formed brief and a date set. Others present us with a challenge – a brand moment that needs to land, a leadership team that needs to reconnect, a product that deserves a worthy launch. Wherever you are, let ONIRA meet you there.
ONIRA offers five distinct ways to engage: full event production, modular support for a specific part of the process, curated venue sourcing, on-site concierge support, or strategic consulting to help you define the right concept before anything else. All five paths lead to the same outcome – an event that reflects the standard your brand demands.
Your event. Our full commitment.
Every brief is different and that’s exactly how we treat it. We take the time to understand not just what you need, but why: the audience, the objective, the message the event needs to carry. From that understanding, we build the concept, coordinate every supplier and manage every detail through to the final moment.

Where your event begins.
The venue sets the tone before a single guest arrives. It determines the atmosphere, the flow and whether the event achieves what it was designed to do. We start with your objective, your audience, and your brand, and work from there.
Relationships, not research.
Fifteen years of producing events across Switzerland, Germany, Spain, and Asia have given us direct relationships with the people who run the spaces. We know the market, we know what to look for, and we know which questions to ask. Every shortlist we present is backed by genuine knowledge of the venues and the teams behind them. From a concise recommendation to full venue management including contract negotiation and contingency planning, the scope is yours to define.
The range is wider than you might expect.
From alpine retreats and historic estates to urban rooftops and unconventional creative spaces – we source venues that match the brief.
On-Site & Beyond
ONIRA Concierge & On-Site Support
ON-DEMAND | LOCAL EXPERTISE | VIP SUPPORT
Your trusted local contact. On the ground.
For international clients and companies visiting Switzerland, Germany or Hong Kong, the event programme is rarely the only thing that needs managing. Transfers, reservations, last-minute requests, VIP arrivals, supplier coordination – the details that surround a corporate event matter as much as the event itself. Having a trusted local contact who knows the market, has the right connections and can act quickly and discreetly makes the difference between a smooth visit and a stressful one.
The scope is your define.
We have sourced private drivers at midnight, organised flowers for a keynote speaker by 8am and managed the arrival experience for a group of 40 international delegates. We have also simply been on call for a client who planned their own event but wanted experienced, confidential local backup. Whatever the request – handled with professionalism, discretion and without making it your problem. This service is available alongside any ONIRA production, or as a completely standalone engagement.
Flexible & transparent.
Concierge and on-site support is invoiced by the hour or as a daily rate agreed in advance, with full transparency and no hidden costs.
Event Strategy & Consulting
STRATEGY | CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT | EVENT MARKETING
Clarity before commitment.
The most common reason corporate events underdeliver is not poor execution – it is the wrong format chosen for the right objective. Before a venue is booked or a budget approved, the most valuable investment a marketing director or brand manager can make is a clear strategic framework: which event format serves this goal, which concept will resonate with this audience, and what does success actually look like.
What we offer.
We work with marketing teams, brand managers and C-suite decision-makers to develop event strategies grounded in business objectives — not assumptions. Our corporate event consulting services include:
Event format evaluation & recommendations
Annual event calendar development
Brand experience concept creation
Event marketing strategy
Budget framework
Feasibility planning
Why it matters.
The right concept makes every subsequent decision easier and every budget work harder. A strategic conversation at the start of the process gives every element of the event a clear purpose, saves time and complexity down the line, and ensures that what you produce actually delivers what you set out to achieve.

Frequently asked questions
How far in advance should I contact ONIRA?
We recommend a minimum lead time of 8–12 weeks for full-production events.This allows us to secure the right venues, suppliers and team for your project. That said, we understand that timelines are not always ideal, and we are experienced in delivering at shorter notice when needed. For complex or multi-day programmes in peak season (May–June, September–October), 4–6 months is advisable. For modular engagements such as venue sourcing only, 4–6 weeks is generally sufficient.
Do you work with companies outside Switzerland?
Yes. ONIRA works with international clients planning corporate events in Switzerland, and supports Swiss and European companies organising events in Germany, Spain and Hong Kong. For events in other markets, we assess feasibility on a case-by-case basis – our network extends well beyond our three core markets.
Can we engage ONIRA for just one part of our event?
Yes. A significant proportion of our work is modular. Clients engage us for venue sourcing, supplier management, on-site coordination or logistics oversight as standalone services. We are equally comfortable leading the full production or supporting one specific part of it, and we work independently or alongside your internal team.
Do you offer event consulting without full production?
Yes. Event strategy and concept consulting is available as a completely standalone service. If you are evaluating which event formats serve your brand, building an annual event calendar or defining a concept before committing budget – that is exactly the kind of conversation we are built for. No production mandate required.
How does pricing work?
Every project is scoped individually – there are no standard packages, because no two briefs are alike. Full production is priced on a project fee basis. Modular support, venue sourcing and concierge services are available on hourly or daily rates. All fees are agreed transparently in advance.
DISCREET BY DEFAULT
We work with CEOs, investors, VIP guests and senior leadership teams. Discretion is not a feature we offer – it’s how we operate.
