Jakob Puck is a co-founder of Renty and writes about event planning for the Renty guide. Since 2014, he has worked as a DJ, event manager, and entrepreneur, supporting over 3,000 events. His focus is on scheduling, budgeting, and concepts for weddings, birthdays, and corporate events.

Jakob Puck is a co-founder of Renty, where he oversees business development, marketing, sales, and the development of the booking system. His experience in events began in 2014, first as a DJ and then as an organizer, conceptualizing and executing his own formats ranging from club nights and weddings to corporate events. It was during this time that he developed an eye for what actually causes a celebration to fail, and it is rarely the technology. It is unrealistic schedules, venues booked too late, and budgets with missing line items.
Jakob holds a Master’s degree in Entrepreneurship & Sales Management from the FH CAMPUS 02 in Graz. In 2022, he co-founded Renty in Graz with André Deutsch and Simon Illedits with the goal of making event technology bookable online instead of through email inquiries and cash deposits. To date, he has supported over 3,000 events.
In the Renty guide, Jakob writes about event planning: schedules and timelines, budget calculations, guest counts, and concepts for weddings, birthdays, garden parties, and corporate events. His articles require no prior knowledge and identify the areas where the effort is simply not worth it.

A wedding candy bar is a self-service sweets buffet set up on its own table, decoratively staged with glass vessels, tiered stands, and wedding-themed stationery. As a rule of thumb, plan for 100–200g of sweets per guest and 8–12 varieties. Set it up 1–2 hours before guests arrive, and open it traditionally after the cake cutting. Here you will find planning guides, quantity calculators, decor ideas, and modern variations from salty bars to hot chocolate bars.

Event insurance is not a single product, but a modular system consisting of four services: organizer liability for third-party damages, event cancellation for called-off events, equipment protection for technology, and weather coverage for outdoor events. Which ones you need depends on the risk, not the size of the event. For small to medium-sized events, costs are usually in the low three-digit range per event. If you are renting event technology, it is worth checking the rental terms first, as an included all-risk insurance policy may make equipment protection redundant.

The median lead time between booking and the start of an event is 7.09 days (95% confidence interval 6.70–7.86). 25.5% of all events are equipped less than 48 hours before they begin, and 16.1% even less than 24 hours in advance. This shows that event technology is not a long-term planned trade, but a short-notice market. The booking year follows a clear season with a peak in June (index 161) and a low in January (index 43), and this pattern aligns with independently collected Google search volume (r = 0.901).

A baby shower is typically held 6-8 weeks before the due date, with an intimate group of 8 to 20 guests, usually lasting 3-4 hours. Whether it's a brunch, spa afternoon, or garden party: a clear color scheme, three to four games, and a cozy photo corner will make the baby shower unforgettable for the mom-to-be. This guide provides ideas for home, outdoors, and the office, along with decor, games, a menu, and a complete planning checklist.

The basic equipment for a workshop consists of a moderator kit, flipchart or whiteboard, projector, and a way to document results. Everything else depends on the method and group size. Here are the checklists for materials, technology, room, and catering, categorized by in-person, online, and hybrid formats.

You can tell a good theme party by how naturally the dress code, decor, and music fall into place. Themes where only the decor fits tend to fizzle out as the evening progresses. Here are 15 proven themes for adults, each with a dress code, decor elements, music style, and snacks, plus an overview based on effort.

A garden wedding rarely fails because of the decor, but rather because of power, sound, and weather. First, clarify where the power will come from and where guests can go if it rains; everything else follows. Here you will find step-by-step planning, how to choose a sound system and power station, and a Plan B for the weather.

A civil wedding offers more creative freedom than many couples realize, from personal vows and rituals like ring warming or sand ceremonies to custom decor. This guide provides concrete ideas for ceremony rooms, music, champagne receptions, photography, and guest favors to ensure your ceremony is just as emotional as any other wedding celebration.

Wedding entertainment works best in short bursts: no more than two or three segments throughout the evening, each under ten minutes. Anything longer kills the mood instead of lifting it. Here you will find 20 games and specials, each with details on effort, group size, and advice on when to skip them.

A schedule should contain four columns: time, program item, person responsible, and required resources. Anything beyond that won't be read on the day of the event. Here you will find templates to download, the structure of the modules, and a checklist for on-site tasks.

A workshop should be planned in reverse: first the result, then the method, then the agenda, and finally the room and technology. Those who start with the agenda fill time instead of achieving goals. Here you will find the complete process from conception and method selection to room setup and follow-up.

A wedding playlist follows the flow of the evening: calm for the reception, understated for dinner, and building up from the first dance. Plan for about 20 songs per hour and ensure there are no gaps between tracks. Here you will find the structure by phase, song suggestions, and the technology needed for a DIY playlist.
