Feast It - Digby Vollrath


Listen Later

Introducing Digby Vollrath on the podcast. He co-runs Feast It, the UK's leading digital event marketplace, connecting party planners with over 1500 of the best suppliers, from food and drink, through to florists, photographers and marquees in just a few clicks.

Launched in 2017, on a mission to simplify organising events, they've become a go-to destination for weddings, corporate parties and festivals - working with the likes of Spotify, Soho House and Secret Cinema. They've also facilitated parties for Taylor Swift, Tom Cruise, Lewis Hamilton and Angelina Jolie.

Having been described as 'the Airbnb of the party food world' - they've revolutionised an industry that previously only really existed through word of mouth, yellow pages and behind the closed black books of event organisers. However, digitalisation is not the only string to their bow. A big part of what they do is curation. Only 1/20 supplier applications are successful ensuring that all their suppliers are top draw.

In this episode we talk about his tactics for getting started, whether he's a professional party planner's best friend or worst nightmare and what someone who helps facilitate thousands of parties a year does to switch off.
