EventNow Launches Last -Minute, Clearance Style Event Packages

May 31, 2012 - PRLog -- NEW YORK, NY, May 31st 2012 – A corporate happy hour, birthday party, networking event, or meet-up are usually pulled together on a whim and require strong contacts at leading restaurants or to be in-the-know of hidden finds throughout the city. The demands are high to pull together something last minute and under-budget, but thanks to a new online service the solution is a click away.  Enter 11th Hour Events (http://eventnow.com/11), a new service from the minds behind EventNow (http://eventnow.com), a leading online marketplace bridging the gap between customers planning parties and first-rate vendors across New York City. 11th Hour Events offers customers the ability to book a last-minute party package deal at up to 70% off, including birthday parties, bar and bat mitzvahs, corporate outings, dinners and even weddings, from vendors looking to sell inventory leftover from last-minute cancellations.

“It’s a win win situation,” said Alex Kombos, CEO of EventNow Inc., “Through our core online event marketplace EventNow, we have met countless restaurants, hotels, bars, catering halls, etc. that often times sit empty on Tuesday or Wednesday or even Friday night due to a last minute cancellation.  There is premium turnkey inventory ready for the taking, so we are bringing the exclusive opportunity to our clientele to book these spots in the “11th Hour” at unbelievable bargains. Most Venues will throw in free appetizers or drinks.”

11th Hour Events currently sells last minute inventory at leading restaurants and bars across Manhattan, including STK, SD26, Sky Room, The Roger Smith Hotel, Wythe Hotel, Loi Restaurant and Heartland Brewery.  The company will soon roll out a roster in the greater New York/Tri-State area including Long Island, Westchester and New Jersey and plans to launch in San Francisco and Los Angeles soon after.

Since 2010, EventNow has been making party and event planning easier and has sourced more than $24 Million in event and parties budgets to its vendors; the free, easy-to-use service helps those looking to throw the perfect soiree hire the best vendors for their event. Unlike other online services that merely serve as a directory of qualified vendors by industry and proximity, EventNow provides consumers a one-stop-shop of options and immediate proposals and bids.  How it works: simply submit what you’re looking for (DJ, photographer, barista, venue, bakery, catering, etc.) and up to five local vendors immediately bid for your business. You chose your budget, options and how many vendors you need quotes from. Since these vendors are bidding for the business they’re putting the consumer in the driver’s seat and cutting down on the amount of time, money and effort needed to plan the perfect bash.  Best of all, EventNow is 100% free for consumers and all vendors are vetted by the community.

The team behind EventNow is experienced in online marketplaces with CEO and founding partner Alex Kombos having over 12 years of producing and developing successful online interactive companies under his belt. EventNow is revolutionizing how people search and book local service providers for events and has more services and offers up their sleeve rolling out soon.
