About Us

Event Leftovers was created by event professionals from the nonprofit community who were consistently frustrated with all the waste we witnessed in the event industry. Inevitably, after each event, we would be left with perfectly good items that just sat in our offices, homes or storage units taking up valuable space. We decided it was time to create a viable "green" solution for all this excess, which conversely would help us recoup some of our event costs. We also realized this would create a secondary market for us as event planners to find the best deals available.   

Whether selling, buying or both, Event Leftovers offers you: 

  • An additional revenue source
  • Access to hundreds of event-related items at the best prices available
  • A way to help the environment through recycling
  • A risk free opportunity
  • Free registration and listing
  • A rating system on sellers
  • A secure site for all payments
  • Access to potential buyers and products from all over the country
  • Increased company exposure for professionals with the option to promote your business with each posting and on your user profile
  • Opportunity to empty out your storage areas
  • The chance to find amazing items from the warehouses of event professionals
     

Event Leftovers is designed for both event professionals and companies (event planners, florists, venues, party stores, rental companies, nonprofit organizations, corporate planners, etc.) and nonprofessionals (anyone who organizes a party for themselves, family or friends - from weddings to birthday parties) as well as any type of event imaginable including parties, productions, trade shows, expos, conventions and more.

 

 

It is completely FREE to register and post items. There is a small transaction fee charged to the seller when an item is sold. That’s it.

 

Event Leftovers proudly donates a portion from its Premium Listings to breast cancer research in honor and memory of a truly inspirational woman, Sandy Latt.

Special Note: Event Leftovers recently launched and is currently focused on building its inventory. As a new site designed to provide a green solution for the event industry, we thank you in advance for your patience, support and help in spreading the word.

Testimonials

After every party we’re always left with an inventory of amazing things; finally with Event Leftovers, instead of packing them up and storing them in our warehouse, someone else can enjoy them at their party."

“My business partner and I are thrilled that there is a site such as yours out there…We certainly are doing are part and spreading the word to our event industry friends and hope everyone will take advantage of this wonderful opportunity.  Everyone benefits when we can "recycle" event leftovers!”

"I am so excited I found out about Event Leftovers! As the mother of two young children, I am constantly throwing parties and now I have a place to find great deals and also sell my leftover party goods which have been sitting in my garage collecting dust."

“Event Leftovers was a great find for me.  As a bride-to-be I have taken a very involved role in my wedding from planning to designing the look and feel of the special day.  Someone recommended the site to me, and I immediately was hooked.  Not only can I go on daily and look for anything I might need or think I would want from votive, to vases, to stationary, but I can purchase these items at a much more reasonable cost and sell back anything that I don't use which creates less waste and promotes more green!  Plus it has exposed me to a variety of local vendors from caterers, to florists, to wedding planners giving me more options for the big day.”
