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.

I have over 15 years of project management experience across university, government and not-for-profit sectors, and more than a decade of event planning. I spent six years managing professional development programs, events and conferences at a university, and five years as the Melbourne Cricket Club (MCC) Netball Club Events and Fundraising Officer coordinating award events, social functions, international sporting tours and fundraising initiatives.

Over the last seven years, I’ve worked at more than 350 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. Events have included conferences, workshops, workplace celebrations, gallery openings, launches, fundraisers, birthdays, baby showers, bridal showers, funerals, weddings, engagements, and school and kindergarten functions.

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.

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.
