We're a team of event industry veterans, technology builders and Dubai locals who got tired of how fragmented the Dubai event market was โ so we built the solution.
eventifydubai was founded by two people who spent years working in Dubai's event industry and saw firsthand how much time was wasted on the wrong side of the search problem.
Layla spent 11 years as a senior event manager at DIFC-based firms, overseeing 200+ corporate events, product launches and gala dinners across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Bahrain. She experienced the vendor-search problem from both sides โ as a client frustrated by unresponsive suppliers, and as someone who knew the right vendors were out there but impossible to find. She co-founded eventifydubai to fix that permanently.
Ravi led product development at two Dubai-based tech startups before co-founding eventifydubai. With a background in marketplace platforms and a personal passion for event photography (he's shot 30+ weddings in Dubai on weekends), he brings a unique perspective that bridges technology and the real-world event experience. He built the platform's verification system, search algorithm, and vendor analytics tools from scratch.

Dubai First, Always
We know Dubai's event scene intimately โ the venues, the seasonal rhythms, the multicultural nuances that make events here unique. This local depth is our unfair advantage.
Honest Reviews, Always
We never remove negative reviews. We never charge vendors to influence their ratings. Our reputation is built on genuine information โ the same standard we hold our vendors to.
Vendors Are Partners
We don't just list vendors โ we invest in their success. Our team spends real time with vendors, understands their businesses, and builds features that help them grow.
Multicultural by Design
Dubai's event scene spans Arabic, Indian, Pakistani, Filipino, British and dozens of other traditions. Our platform and team reflects that beautiful diversity without judgment.
Simple Beats Clever
We build features that solve real problems for real people โ not features that showcase our technology. If it confuses you, we haven't done our job.
Speed Matters in Events
Event planning has real deadlines. We respond quickly, our platform loads fast, and our vendor verification takes days not weeks. We respect your time.
We're growing fast and always looking for people who love events, understand Dubai, and want to build something that genuinely helps people celebrate better.
Whether you're planning an event or running a vendor business, we're here to help make it exceptional.
