Founder and Event Director – Sam Horton
An event professional with over 10 years’ industry experience, Samantha founded Firefly in 2015 to further her passion for creating bespoke, end-to-end event solutions that both meet, and exceed, her client’s expectations.
Samantha’s particularly passionate about creating unique corporate conferences, but is equally experienced and pleased to work with commercial, not-for-profit and Government clients, on events of all types, sizes and budgets. Samantha spends her days drinking way too much coffee, planning events for Firefly’s clients and dreaming of where she’ll travel next.
“Organising our work Christmas Party was a no-stress affair and everyone had a blast! Firefly Events thought of fun styling elements and important service requirements I’d never have thought of myself (for example, a bucking bull and an on-site medic), and were present all evening to make sure the event ran smoothly. I can’t recommend Sam and the team highly enough.”
Mandy Morris, Mi Electric
“We have worked with Firefly on multiple, large scale events at North Harbour and would highly recommend the team to anyone looking to hire the best for their next event. Firefly’s attention to detail, level of experience and calm make Sam and the Firefly team a pleasure to work with. From inception to delivery, their knowledge and ability has made every North Harbour event we have hosted with them a success. We look forward to many more!”
