We build experiences people want to show up for.
Who we are
1 Big House Events & Management is a UAE-based events and experiences company producing live music events, workshops, culinary collaborations, pop-ups, markets, creative showcases, and community-led projects. We work with artists, venues, brands, and partners to develop and deliver well-organized events for diverse audiences across the UAE.
How we think
We believe good events come from the right mix of idea, people, place, and execution. Our approach combines creative thinking with practical production, strong partnerships, and an understanding of how different audiences experience live events.

We work best when the right people come together — artists, venues, brands, suppliers, creatives, and communities. Some projects begin with us. Others begin with a conversation.
