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, bartending, 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?
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.
Experienced, Professional Staff
Any staff I bring on board are carefully selected for their professionalism, experience, and excellent customer service. I only work with team members I trust to represent my brand and deliver a high standard of service.
Flexible Support on the Day
One of the advantages of working with a small business like mine is flexibility. I can take on dual roles—providing event coordination early in the event and working as a bartender later on. This is ideal for smaller events that still need hands-on, expert assistance throughout which don’t have a need for multiple staff.
Passion & Commitment
I genuinely love what I do. I left the corporate sector to pursue my passion of event management and absolutely love running my small business. I'm friendly, approachable, and committed to going above and beyond to ensure your event is a success. My creativity, attention to detail, and flexible approach means you can focus on enjoying the event while I take care of the details to ensure that your event runs smoothly.
