Diner En Blanc -Sydney 2019
When a major supplier pulled out just two months before Dîner en Blanc Sydney 2019, O.C.D was brought in by 8 Agency to take over full event production. With a 12-person team and Head of Production, we stepped in as true partners — not just contractors — to deliver one of the city's most elegant global dining events. From supplier procurement to live coordination, we ensured every detail aligned with the client’s vision. The result? Over 5,000 guests and what was hailed as the best Dîner en Blanc in its eight-year history. A high-pressure turnaround, delivered flawlessly.
“The Most Successful Edition Yet”
A Client’s Perspective
“Dîner en Blanc Sydney 2019 was the eight consecutive edition and by all accounts the most successful logistically, operationally, and with the best guest experience and most amazing overall vibe throughout the evening. I want to express my sincere gratitude to Tobias and his team at O.C.D InEvents for this very positive outcome. In pre-production, Tobias brought his keen eye for detail, impeccable professionalism and solid work ethic that allowed us to be better prepared than we have ever been in the lead up to a DEB. From bump-in to bump-out, he managed and controlled site, crew, suppliers and venue stakeholders with a calm and firm demeanour. His agility in the face of the inevitable ‘’on the night’’ challenges was matched by his ability to make key decisions quickly and with confident resolve. I will definitely engage Tobias and O.C.D InEvents for my next events”

The Project
In 2019, O.C.D was engaged by 8 Agency to assume full event production services for Dîner en Blanc, a global dining event spanning six continents. This collaboration arose when 8 Agency, the operator of the Sydney event, faced a last-minute setback with their contracted supplier dropping out just two months prior to the event.
The Service
O.C.D furnished a Head of Production, along with a team of 12 event managers, and facilitated the procurement of various suppliers across a spectrum of services. Our approach transcended the conventional supplier-client dynamic, as we seamlessly integrated into the organizer's team. This collaborative method allowed us to closely align with our client, ensuring that their objectives took precedence and successfully met the rigorous demands of the event.
The Result
The 2019 edition witnessed an impressive turnout, with over 5,000 attendees, marking a significant milestone for the event. Notably, it garnered acclaim as the most exceptional gathering in its eight-year history, showcasing the event's growth and success.
