We’re a collective of event planners, camera clickers & social media addicts - formed by creatives Sam Lando and Stephanie Polivka .

Formed at World Bar, in the heady days of Kings Cross’s golden era, Banquet began as a community incubator running their namesake event as a weekly Friday night party. It’s success was immediate and our little weekly event on to dominate the scene for over four years.

Since that time we have sprawled our passion for creativity and connecting people by consulting, sometimes intersectionality, with music and hospitality brands to maximise audience exposure and provide brand solutions.

Banquet Creative has provided creative direction, marketing and programming services to leading brand including SXSW Sydney, Suntory, Hendricks Gin and Better Beer and to hospitality groups Merivale, Solotel, The Point Group, Whitehouse (Beach Road Hotel Bondi), Gage Roads, who were looking to tap into new markets, develop new spaces and revitalise their branding and entertainment offering.

We have assisted and consulted on the digital marketing, social media and promotional teams of leading music brands Sweat It Out Music, Your Paradise Festival Fiji, Marco Polo @ The Ivy.

Business owners by day, Banquet DJ’s by night - An initial connection through bass lines and a desire to create unforgettable experiences for audiences has grown into a collective of creatives united by a continued drive for connecting people with passions.

When it comes to event production and touring, we’ve curated talent and worked on teams for some Australia’s biggest festivals including Falls Festival, Splendour In The Grass and Laneway. On the international stage, we have long standing relationships with some of the world’s leading talent including Alt J, Queens Of The Stone Age, Jack white, The Dandy Warhols and Arctic Monkeys curating and managing after parties globally for these acts.

Passionate about connecting, we’d love to work with you.
