Events you’ll wanna talk about
When we first sat around the table it was apparent very quickly that our joy for delivering events comes from helping to provide connection of people - both to each other and to a place. We love to bring stories, places, topics and causes to people’s attention, leaving them with interesting dinner table conversations in the future.
I’ve attended two Women on Top events and loved both of them thoroughly. they’re raw, inspirational, empowering and both times I've left feeling so warm and fuzzy. I'm always keeping an eye out for Lisa’s next events! - Kelsey Waghorn
Blending a unique life experience with her love of New Zealand, Founder Lisa Rooney accidentally found herself working in hospitality when she first moved to Tauranga in 2014.
Born and bred in Ireland, Lisa has been involved in events since the age of 7 years old when she would plan, organize and host talent shows for the kids who lived on her block.
Learning about the NZ Hospitality and Events industries from the inside, she’s honed her skills and specializes in helping businesses build and deliver show stopping events. A big part of this includes supporting these industries with their digital marketing
Blabla Events was an invaluable asset during the 6-week period leading up to the launch of our new Eatery. Lisa, the mastermind behind Blabla Events, not only exceeded our expectations but also put our business on the map. Her extensive connections in the hospitality, event, supplier, and advertising industries proved to be incredibly beneficial.
Under Lisa's guidance, our opening party was a resounding success, flawlessly organized by her. We were thoroughly impressed.
As a result of our exceptional experience, we have chosen Blabla Events for our ongoing Social Media Marketing needs. We enthusiastically recommend them to friends and fellow business owners, confident that they will receive the same outstanding service and results that we did.

Seeing the demand for locals to become more connected, Lisa has created her speaker series Women on Top celebrating the careers, success and survival stories of females (Link back to that page) and Blabla’s Secret Society, an event full of powerful short talks by experts, food and drink tastings and the Blabla Book Swap, both of which you can now see popping up all over New Zealand.
A lover of a worthy cause, Lisa has used her skills to deliver a number of events raising funds for various charities including Women’s Refuge, Pet Refuge, Mates4Life, Gender Dynamix, Middlemore Foundation, BOP Breast Cancer Trust and many more.
Lisa’s also the first person you contact when you want a great and unique wine recommendation, the insight on a new spot to dine, or even the perfect hidden gems to swan off to around NZ.
Here at Blabla we pride ourselves on helping you deliver the right event, with the right help to reach your target audience. Big or small, local or outside the Bay of Plenty. If you’re looking for someone who can help you with your bespoke event, you’re in the right place.
