About Us
NotJustEvent is a transformative online marketplace designed to digitally advance event and entertainment planning.
Our Story
NotJustEvent was born to solve a pressing challenge in Africa's event industry, where finding reliable vendors often means turning to social media—a risky path where 1 in 5 bookings leads to scams. Growing up in a family of event planners, Frank saw these struggles firsthand. In 2019, his mother was sued after falling victim to vendor scams, and by 2023, he faced the same issue while organizing a corporate event, nearly losing his job. These experiences inspired us to create NotJustEvent—a platform that connects organizers with verified vendors, making event planning seamless, secure, and stress-free.
Our Mission
Our mission is to eliminate the stress and uncertainty in event planning by addressing the core pain points of organizers and vendors. We provide a platform that guarantees trust, transparency, and efficiency—helping organizers connect with reliable vendors and venues while empowering vendors with greater visibility and fair opportunities. At NotJustEvent, we're committed to creating seamless, secure, and rewarding event experiences for everyone.
