To Whom it May Concern,
I have worked with MKG Events since 2015 as they have managed our annual Christmas Carols Event that has had an average attendance of 800 families over this time. They assist us with everything from helping to arrange bands and carolers to marketing, sponsorship and helping us with operations on the night.
2020 has been a year of challenger’s caused by Covid 19, I have no doubts in recommending and working with MKG Events as over the past 5 years we have experienced at all times consistency in delivery, professionalism, attention to detail and most importantly their ability to be agile and adapt to deliver what is required which is a critical skill in these uncertain times.
We understand that it is highly likely this year will have new challenges that are not foreseeable at this stage, but we know that MKG Events has our back. The team at MKG Events has always exceeded my expectations and I look forward to working with them in the future.
In all the time I have known Michael, it is his passion for business and pleasing his customer that makes him unique. In business today, we seek people who are trustworthy and hold to solid values and ethics.
Michael and his team are all of this and even though our projects have not gone live, due to COVID, the grant he obtained in Melbourne and the commitment he has to our organisation, is one to be admired. We look forward to continuing our relationship with MKG in the future.
This was our first ‘in person’ event since COVID and the team at MKG made sure that all measures were strictly adhered too. Everything was done by the book and very professionally. Given the year we have had I would recommend MKG to anyone that wants to start face to face meetings again safely.
All-round awesome experience and service!
Dear Michael
I wanted to write to you personally to express my gratitude to yourself and the MKG Events team for assisting with our recent Gala Dinner to raise funds for the Jesus Cares Ministry charity. This has been a very difficult year with the coronavirus pandemic and I wasn’t confident that we would succeed with dinner this year. However, your positive attitude kept our hopes alive and we ended up with a much better result than I expected. The feedback that I have received is that everyone enjoyed the night and thought that the venue and food were excellent. The best we have had so far. It wasn’t easy with the uncertainty surrounding the corona pandemic in regard to knowing what number of participants would be allowed and the forever changing restrictions. Once again many thanks to you and your team. We wish you and MKG Events every success in this difficult period. I’m more than happy for you to use this letter as a testimonial.
It has only been a new business partnership but Michael and MKG events have been nothing short of a pleasure to work with.
Always looking at ways to do better, Michael has a passion for his business and is always looking at ways to better for his clients.
I look forward to a successful future with MKG events and assisting him in looking after his clients.
I recently started a new business (AussieBizOwners.com) and created/hosted a LIVE Online Q&A-style webinar, which included three panelist business leaders; Naomi Simson (Founder, RedBalloon), Rachel Bajada (Founder, Noshu) and Stefano De Blasi (Co-Founder, Salt Meats Cheese).
I got in touch with Michael from MKG Events to partially assist with marketing efforts as the window to spread the word was limited to a few days. Michael was incredibly professional and active in helping us drive and contribute awareness and consideration to my event. If you’re looking for someone who can act quickly, Michael is your guy!
Thanks, Michael for helping promote our recent events in collaboration with The Network Q. The RSVPs doubled and the event got out to a broader range than our current circles.
As many business activities have moved online overnight, there is value to be added in promoting webinars and other online events the right way.
I run a venue that provides a high-level Virtual Reality Experience in Sydney and Melbourne for any occasion from Birthday Parties to Corporate Team Building Events. We have an event coming up, which we have not started promoting and unsure where to start, so we engaged with MKG Events to provide us with Event Coaching to help drive this event forward.
We found it extraordinarily helpful and they gave us very helpful practical advice around our event and the promotion of our business that we have been able to apply and our brand awareness to grow. We highly recommend their coaching services to anyone looking for event assistance.
Michael Grey approached me through ‘Linked In’ for his marketing expertise over a year ago. Michael provides services to Speakers, or anyone running an event here in Australia. As an author and professional speaker/trainer I was excited to meet him to see how he could assist me to get my events marketed to new audiences closer to home. From the moment you meet Michael, you feel an amazing confidence vibrate from his youthful persona. You feel most welcome to be in his presence and you feel his sincerity and enthusiasm for you and your event. He truly wants to help you succeed.
As an author of 11 books, personal development coach and lecturer I was more than excited to see and feel these qualities in a person I had not met yet. What a pleasure it was to have this positive energy exude from Michael and his willingness to assist me in getting my events marketed and my books sold at these events. He was honest and direct in the changes that could work for my event promotion and also willing to assist to make those changes to fill the venues chosen.
Michael would turn up to my events just to support me. He is a gift to this world and he touches the hearts of all that he meets. I did not hesitate to have him as my Social Media Marketer and introduce him to others so that they may work with him also. I would not hesitate to recommend Michael at any time in the future. A more honest, reliable, enthusiastic, caring, positive, and thorough person with tremendous zest for doing everything with a standard of excellence is a rare find today. I will continue to use his services moving forward.
Working with MKG Events was a unique experience. They do deliver on their promise in getting the required numbers and the right selected audience that fits your selection criteria.
Chantel, my account manager, on the day was very professional as host and background logistics and facilitated in making the whole webinar run smoothly. I have had a good follow-up response from the attendees and it has very quickly opened up the possibilities of doing business in the area of Leadership, Mindset and Employee engagement. Thank you to Michael Grey and his team.
I have performed at many of Michaels Events over the last 13 years, which included at events he ran prior to starting MKG Events in 2014. Michael is a man of consistency and integrity. He always treats people with respect even, people who most would say may not deserve it.
Michael fell into events at young age and he has always been about helping people particularly charities make a difference. I can attest to his skill set when it comes to organising, promoting, seeking sponsorship and media coverage for a wide variety of events over the last 13 years.
In the events industry, it is a known fact that sometimes things do not go to plan for a wide variety of reasons which can include external factors that are not in the control of any party to an event, for example, an outdoor event and rain. There are also times where the client does not listen to or enact professional advice or compile with the terms of an agreement that impacts delivery. Whatever the situation Michael is a man that will pull out everything he has to make it work the best he can.
Covid 19 has presented many challenges for the events industry, many people in the industry have lost so much, their businesses, careers, livelihoods, and mental health. This destruction has upset Michael and many of us in the industry but despite this during the toughest months of April, May, and June during the Covid 19 lockdowns, Michael helped his clients see returns of up to 830% ROI through online events, another client wanted 150 people for their online event, and he secured over 700 registrations for the online event. Since July when in-person gatherings could resume in NSW he has held several successful in-person events. I look forward to singing at one of Michael’s events next month and what the future holds.
Michael Grey isn’t just a great listener. He also knows exactly the right questions to ask and when to ask them. He’s definitely the ‘go to’ man when it comes to marketing your event. Michael knows his stuff. He has the right experience, the right skills and the right team. And he has the right contacts. He helped me organise, market and deliver my first online event on How to Master Tough Conversations and Deal with Difficult People on August 26 2020. Michael and his team did an outstanding job and the webinar was a huge success: the people I wanted to come along, were there.
Michael kept in contact, kept me updated and was always there to help me out – at every stage of the journey. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Michael is extremely easy to work with. He understands your needs and creates a way forward which is tailor-made. I highly recommend Michael and his team and I have already booked them in to help me with another event. I know I’m in good hands.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
My name is Peter Collins, I have been in many aspects of sales for over 56 years now as a high-end salesman, sales manager, corporate, SME, and business sales trainer, mentor, coach and consultant to many businesses. Over the past 40 years, I preferred to do my own marketing as so many event promoters made massive promises, wanted payment upfront and delivered very little. On the other hand, Michael is the first I have known that has the ability to draw in an effective buying audience.
Recently I had the privilege of working with Michael and the team at MKG Events and engaged them during the Covid 19 in May 2020. The ROI made from that first 90-minute online webinar grossed $20,000. Michael is the first event promoter I have met that has the knack of matching potential prospects that will open their wallets based around viable concepts – and I will be using his services on a regular basis in future.
MKG Events was recommended to me by a colleague and I have been delighted with the outcome. The Director, Michael Grey, gave excellent personalized service. He was quick to understand my online event requirements and managed to secure an appropriate audience for my online event in a very short space of time.
Michael answered emails promptly and initiated and responded to the phone calls necessary to fine-tune the details of my event. Not only is his service prompt and professional, but also friendly, caring and focused intently on customer satisfaction. He was flexible in responding to my evolving requirements. His courtesy call following the event was very much appreciated.
I have no hesitation in recommending his service to customers seeking a professional, but also personalized event management team.
To Whom It May Concern: I run a venue in Parramatta and I have had the pleasure of working with Michael and his team from MKG Events a number of times now who have constantly run events that are well run and well attended.
I enjoy working with them and I look forward to continuing to work with them in the future.
In February 2020 we held our annual conference – Intrigue Summit in Melbourne Australia, we had a number of challenges arranging this event from abroad and we were very fortunate to have the experienced team at MKG Events supporting us on the day to help with addressing these issues.
We originally only engaged MKG Events to provide crew for the day and to help with registrations and they went very much beyond the call of duty to help us with overcoming these unexpected challenges of the day that were not in their original work scope. I very much look forward to working with them in the future to run the entire event from start to finish and I could not more highly recommend their services to anyone looking to hold an event.
“MKG Events worked tirelessly to make our Masquerade Ball a success. They went well beyond what we engaged them for and took a personal interest in everything they did. A very experienced and dedicated team!”
I have recently worked with Michael, as he marketed and produced a Radical Consultants Event in Sydney. I found him to be professional, accommodating, and true to his word.

The commitment and dedication Michael has shown towards myself and the vision of my events shines through his attentiveness in conversations and willingness to go the extra mile.
I knew that getting back into online events was the key for 2022 and here’s my chance. I met Michael through the Sydney meet up and was quickly intrigued about how he could help before I knew it, the offer was presented to me straightforward and precise. Professionally it was the next step and Michael and his team have done all the work from marketing to messaging and also designing posts and graphics.
I’m extremely satisfied and honoured with his service.
I have worked closely with Michael Grey and the team from MKG Events on and off for 5 years in various capacities. I have always found Michael to have displayed the highest standards of ethics, customer service and event delivery.
On October 24, 2022, Michael and his team worked with us to deliver the WEXPO event at Blacktown. I found Michael and his team, to be hard working, purposeful and customer focussed and we will be working with him in 2023.
With WEXPO Michael worked with me to:
• Securing Sponsors for the event.
• Promoting the event.
• Providing me with ongoing support which helped the event be a success.
