Good to know
What kinds of events do you create?
Events planned, coordinated and hosted from start to finish: brand activations and collaborations, private dinners and gatherings, book releases, gallery and art openings, restaurant and venue openings, plus retail and hospitality training. The services above show the full scope.
How early should we get in touch?
As early as you have an idea. A short call is enough to tell you what is realistic for your date and what to lock down first.
Where do you work?
Oslo is home, and we know its venues and suppliers well. We also produce events elsewhere in Norway when the brief calls for it.
What does it cost?
Every project is quoted after the intro call, based on scope. Share a rough budget range and we will tell you honestly what it can deliver.
Who handles caterers, lighting, photographers and everything else?
We do. You brief one team and we manage the vendor collective, keep one run sheet and stay in the room on the day.
Can we book training on its own?
Yes. Retail and hospitality training is a standalone offer for retail, front of house and service teams.
What is Magma Care?
