Event operations for curated agencies

Behind every flawless evening is a week of chaos.

Mise is where agencies turn it into calm, from the client's first brief to the last guest home.

Scroll to follow one gala, from brief to encore

Monday · 09:04

A brief arrives, the way briefs always do.

A long email, an attachment and a voice note. Paste it into Mise exactly as it came. It picks out the date, the guests, the budget and the feeling your client is hoping for.

Monday · 09:06

Two minutes later, the whole event is drafted.

Phases, workstreams, tasks, a first budget, the run of show and the risks, laid out as a living map of the event. You review every line. Nothing is created until you say so.

Week 2

Every part of the event has a home.

Open Catering and it is all there: the brief, the checklist, who owns it, the deadline, the budget lines and the partners you trust. Search the whole event in a keystroke.

Weeks 3 to 5

Partners and money, finally under control.

Follow every partner from quote to contract to delivery, and your own team when you do it in-house. Estimated, committed and actual, in birr or dollars, with your margin always in view.

Week 5

Your client watches it come together.

A private link under your agency's name. Your client sees how ready the event is at any moment and approves the menu with one tap. Your team hears about it instantly, on Telegram or email.

Saturday · 19:30

Doors open. The night runs from every phone.

What is happening now and what is next, guest check-in, protocol and the issue log, live for the whole team. When the venue's signal drops, Mise keeps working and saves everything when it's back.

Sunday · 11:00

Proof that you cared, and a head start on next year.

A polished report your client will actually read. Then duplicate the gala: the map, the partners, the timings and your real costs come with it, and every date moves for you.

Our 10th anniversary gala 🙏

Hi team! We'd love to celebrate ten years with our donors on Saturday 14 November.

We're expecting around 320 guests. It should feel warm, Ethiopian, modern, never stiff.

A traditional coffee ceremony is a must. Our budget is roughly ETB 2.4 million all in.

Could you send us a first plan next week?

The difference

Your clients see the magic. Mise carries the weight.

Great agencies already care about every detail. What they lack is one calm place to hold them all.

Today

  • Twenty WhatsApp groups per event
  • budget_FINAL_v7.xlsx, edited by four people
  • Chasing sign-offs by phone and screenshot
  • No idea what the venue signal will do on the night
  • Starting every repeat event from a blank page

With Mise

  • One map per event, with every detail on its own page
  • One budget, with costs and margin only for the right people
  • Clients approve with one tap, on the record
  • Event-day mode that keeps working offline
  • Duplicate last year's event with every date shifted

Everything in one place

The tools of a great agency, finally speaking to each other.

Mise AI

Ask anything about your events. Get an answer from your own work.

Mise AI reads your events, guests, tasks, partners and approvals, with the same permissions as the person asking. It links straight to the page that matters.

  • Drafts a whole event from a client brief
  • Answers from your data, never a generic template
  • Never shows budgets to people who can't see costs
  • A daily allowance per agency, so costs stay predictable
Who hasn't confirmed dietary needs for the VIP table?

Mise

Two guests at Table 1 have no dietary note yet: Amb. Liya Mekonnen and Dr. Samuel Haile. Both RSVP'd yes. Want me to add a task for Meron to follow up?Open guest listCreate task

Why agencies switch

Made for the agency, not the venue or the ticket buyer.

Most event software is built for venues selling space or platforms selling tickets. Mise is built for the team that designs the whole experience and answers to the client.

A dash means partly, or only with add-ons. Based on our review of the main tools in each category in 2026.

Security

Your clients trust you with a lot. We take that seriously.

How we protect your data

Each agency is sealed off

Every record is locked to its agency inside the database itself, not just in the app.

Money stays private

Costs and margin live in separate tables that only owners, producers and finance can read.

Links you control

Client and partner links are long random keys, stored only as fingerprints, and can be switched off at any time.

Phones wiped on sign-out

Offline copies on a phone are deleted the moment someone signs out.

Every detail, in its place.

See Mise on one of your own events. We'll walk you through it in thirty minutes.
