Let's Make it a Night to Remember
In 2020, the year known as the COVID Pandemic all local schools in the South Eastern suburbs in line with COVID-19 restrictions were clearing their curriculum of further hosting of Presentation or Debutante Balls
for Secondary School students.
This is where a group of three friends, three individual women, from three different career paths banded together and volunteered their time to run their daughters and friends Presentation Ball.
Through word of mouth, their passionate business ideas were shared via a network of family, friends
and most importantly students.
Soon business relationships were formed, suppliers jumped on board and it was agreed that there was an opportunity to succeed in growing this venture into a successful business with a modern twist, this is when Southeast Presentation Events was established.
