What we do
For Weddings & Functions…
Whether it be a backyard wedding with a soloist and dj, or a thumping warehouse 21st birthday - we have done it all. We can curate the perfect environment for whatever you need.
For Events…
Straight up djs, classic vinyl sets, and hosting - we do this week in and week out. Or maybe you want unique - like a dj and sax player, or a dj and opera singer (Yes we do that!).
For Venues…
The biggest hotel groups in Adelaide trust us to provide weekly musical offerings at their venues. From a once off performer, to a completely turn-key solution involving marketing and promotions - we have the skills.

I'm Ryley Tennyson...
... director of Tennyson Events and I've run hundreds of events for thousands of people over the last 15 years.
You might know my voice from the Drive show on Fresh927, or you could have seen me standing behind the equipment at one of thousands of gigs I've played.
I'm passionate about creating environments which make guests feel something. From spinning vinyl at weddings and birthdays, to event managing daytime winery parties, to programming entertainment and promotions for venues, to mixing music for fireworks displays - I have done it all!

With 15 years of events experiences there isn't much we haven't done...
...sweaty nightclub shows, day time winery parties, backyard weddings and warehouse birthdays. We can organise everything; marketing, tickets, performers, drinks, decor, and sound.
We work with you to concept the brand. We then take that concept to our designers to build the what your customers will see. Post-launch we use target advertising, traditional and online, to spread the word. On the day of the event we manage all stakeholders to curate the perfect environment down to the last detail; photographers, videographers, security, musicians, furnishing, styling, and more. Post-event we can provide databases of clients, social media reports, video and photo content.
Club & Warehouse parties
We cut our teeth running clubs and the occasional warehouse party. From branding and marketing of shows, and curating line ups. To facilitating warehouse parties for external stakeholders.
We have run so many, but our favourite by far was TrappedADL. 3 years of club shows and a massive warehouse party. A passion project with our partner Dylan Sanders, our shows utilised multiple Adelaide nightclubs, and toured both Australian and International artists.
Day Club
Our current focus is Day Club, a series of day time events in iconic South Australian locations. As the event has grown we've been able to focus more on the great talents and produce coming out of our state. Day Club is run in collaboration with our event's partner Dylan Sanders.
Our 2015/16 season featured music from Motez, SA Producer of the year 2015/2016 and Flamingo, Robert Stigwood Fellows 2016. Our 2016/17 season expanded to McLaren Vale where we raised $4500 for the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre. The sold out event was held at Alpha Box & Dice, in collaboration with Motez, and with support from Novatech, and Fresh927.
