At The Maru Experience, we believe gatherings should do more than simply bring people together - they should create connection, spark conversation, and leave a lasting impression.
The Maru Story
Rooted in creativity, culture, and thoughtful hospitality, we bring a fresh perspective to corporate events, private celebrations, bespoke experiences, and high-touch lifestyle requests.
We craft experiences with equal focus on design, flow, and guest experience. Our work spans events, creative production, and tailored services for clients who want support beyond the ordinary.
01 — Corporate Events
Professional doesn’t have to mean predictable.
We create elevated corporate events that express your brand, bring people together, and communicate your message clearly. From brand launches, conferences, and summits to offsites, leadership gatherings, networking receptions, holiday parties, and client entertainment, we manage the creative direction, production, and delivery - shaping experiences that feel considered, polished, and effortless from start to finish.
02 — Private Events
Your celebrations deserve to feel effortless and elevated.
We design and deliver private events shaped around your people, your style, and the way you want the occasion to feel. From birthdays and weddings to themed celebrations, intimate dinners, and relaxed social gatherings, we handle the planning and coordination behind the scenes - allowing the focus to stay where it should be: on time well spent together.
03 — Experiential Events
For brands and hosts who want to create something distinctive.
Maru Experiential Events focus on shaping environments that feel intentional, considered, and visually cohesive. From early concept development and creative direction to spatial planning, styling, décor installation, and guest movement, we design how an event looks, feels, and unfolds — creating a clear sense of atmosphere and a seamless experience from arrival to close.
04 — VIP Concierge
Our bespoke lifestyle service is designed for clients who want a single trusted team to handle anything they need — from private events and luxury travel to hard-to-access experiences and last-minute requests. We curate holidays, source exclusive venues and stays, organise seamless logistics, and arrange personalised moments with the same care and discretion we bring to our events. Whatever you’re looking for, we manage every detail so you can enjoy a smooth, elevated experience from start to finish.
