Where the work comes from

Why referrals work for an events organiser

Your best referrals don’t often come from online marketing. They come from businesses who regularly work with businesses and families planning celebrations – usually around a product launch, an anniversary or a milestone birthday. This is why caterers, photographers and venues are natural referral partners for any events organiser.

Getting there from Ongar

Ongar is a historic market town with a long, independent High Street, the Epping Ongar heritage railway and, close by, Greensted’s church, said to be the oldest wooden church in the world.
Ongar is about 15 minutes from the meeting along the A128.
By train: Ongar has no mainline station, so most members drive in; Brentwood and Shenfield stations are the nearest.

Inside a Thursday meeting

We meet every Thursday between 6:30am and 8:30am, before most working days begin. Every week you get at least a minute to tell the room about your services. Outside the meeting, you’ll book one-to-one catch-ups to learn what each other is looking for, and we have a strong social side too – summer BBQs, Halloween events and charity challenges.

Costs, and paying monthly

Visiting costs nothing. If you’d like to become a member, membership fees can be spread into monthly payments, and there’s a 6-month trial membership if you’d rather test the water, which makes it manageable for smaller businesses.

Questions

Can I recommend someone outside Ongar?

No. EBF members travel in from all over Essex, so a great events organiser in the area is worth recommending.

Is there any obligation to join?

Not at all. Visiting costs nothing, with no pressure to sign up. Come along, meet the members and make up your own mind.
