About Zesty Events
There is a difference between inviting people to an event and hosting them.
Zesty Events is a Melbourne-based event management agency creating considered, memorable experiences for organisations across Australia and internationally.
Most agencies manage the logistics. We design the experience: the arrival moment, the flow of the room, the atmosphere that makes people stay longer than they planned. The last thing guests say walking out the door.
That philosophy has a name. We call it the art of hosting. It is the reason every client who works with us describes the planning process as a joy, not just the event itself.
The Founder
Zesty Events was founded by Damien Boecasse, a creative events director who spent a decade working across Melbourne, London, Paris, New York and Milan before building the agency he wished had existed.
Damien's background is deliberately cross-disciplinary: luxury PR, fashion, interior design, brand strategy. That breadth is not incidental. It is why Zesty approaches events the way a designer approaches a space, with an eye for proportion, atmosphere, detail and the emotional effect of every decision. Events that aren't just produced, but designed.
The founding belief was simple: the best events feel effortless to the guests and the host. Every element of complexity is absorbed behind the scenes, so the experience on the night is exactly what it should be. Easy, considered and impossible to recreate.
Over a decade in practice, Damien and the Zesty team have delivered 100+ events across Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and internationally, including corporate events, conferences, property launches, brand activations, fundraising events and gala dinners for some of the world's most recognised organisations.
In 2025, Zesty Events was awarded Best Brand Event (Victoria), Australian Event Awards, for the S.Pellegrino Young Chef Academy Cooking Competition and Gala Dinner.
How we work
Every client at Zesty has direct access to Damien. Not a junior account manager. Not a rotating team. The person who built this agency and has spent 10+ years thinking about nothing but how to make events feel extraordinary.
We build a specialist team around each brief: creatives, producers, stylists and on-the-day crew selected for that specific project. The depth of our supplier and talent relationships, built over a decade in the Melbourne and international events industry, is available to every client, regardless of the scale of the event.
What our clients consistently tell us is that working with Zesty is the least stressful part of planning their event. That is not an accident. It is the standard we hold ourselves to.

What we stand for
Zesty Events is a Black and queer-owned business. Damien sits on the committee of Queers in Property, one of the industry networks behind the Property Unites Fundraiser that raised $275,000 for people experiencing homelessness in a single afternoon. We actively support emerging artists and creatives, bring sustainable thinking into our production process, and believe that the events industry is better when it reflects the full diversity of the communities it serves.
We work with organisations that care about the experience they create, for their guests, their brand and the world around them. That shared value is usually what makes the work exceptional.
