Trusted Event Support for Professional Events and Private Celebrations
About
Hi, I'm Linden Clarke, the owner and founder of LinStar Events—a boutique event management business based in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs. I offer event planning and coordination, wedding planning, bartending, cocktail service, and catering support services for all kinds of occasions.
With over 15 years of experience in project management across the university, government, and not-for-profit sectors, and more than a decade of event planning, I bring a depth of knowledge and professionalism to every event I support. I spent six years planning and managing professional development events and conferences at a university, and five years as the Melbourne Cricket Club (MCC) Netball Club Events and Fundraising Officer where I coordinated presentation dinners, social events, international sporting tours, and fundraising initiatives.
Over the last six years, I’ve worked at more than 250 events, honing my skills in event coordination, wedding planning, bartending, and catering support. I’ve had the pleasure of working with private, corporate, and commercial clients. These events have included conferences, workshops, workplace celebrations, fashion parades, gallery openings, store launches, fundraisers, birthdays, baby showers, bridal showers, funerals, weddings, engagements, and school or kindergarten functions.

Why Work With Me?
After over a decade working in project management across universities, government, and community sectors, I launched LinStar Events to combine my passion for planning with my love of creating meaningful, memorable experiences.
​
I’ve now supported over 250 events—from weddings and private parties to professional development workshops and stakeholder forums. What clients value most is my calm approach, attention to detail, and ability to bring order and ease to even the most complex days.

Passionate
I genuinely love what I do. After leaving the corporate sector, I followed my passion for events to start LinStar Events. I'm friendly, approachable, and committed to exceeding every client's expectation. With creativity, attention to detail, and a flexible, can-do attitude, I love helping others so they can relax and truly enjoy their function.

One Point of Contact
When you reach out to LinStar Events, you’ll be working with me from our first conversation right through to the day of your event. You can rest assured you’ll receive consistent, personalised support throughout the process.

Flexible & Experienced
I can take on dual roles — such as event coordination early and bartending later — which is perfect for smaller events needing varied support without a full team. When additional staff are required, I carefully select experienced, professional, and friendly team members who reflect my high standards and approach to service.
