What Qube Events & Productions does

Qube Events & Productions is a Manchester-based, founder-led event styling and planning company operating under the Qube Decor Group umbrella (legal entity Debbie Marks Ltd.), serving weddings, corporate events, private parties and Bar/Batmitzvahs across the UK. Its core product is full-service luxury event design, delivered through a vertically integrated stack that combines event planning tiers (full, partial, on-the-day), bespoke in-house design and fabrication in a 4,500 sq ft workshop and warehouse, floristry (fresh and silk), decor and prop hire, creative technical production, entertainment sourcing, bar and catering coordination, marquees and tipis, and photobooth hire. The group is structured around five sub-brands — Qube Events (full-service styling), Qube Hire (dry-hire decor rental at event-hire.co.uk), Qube Luxe (residential home decor at qubeluxe.com), The Decor Qube (pre-packaged Christmas tablescape boxes), and Debbie Marks Events (luxury wedding planning and mentoring) — alongside Event Igloo Experiences for at-home celebrations.

The technology stack is craft-and-inventory-led rather than software-led: a 4,500 sq ft warehouse at Irwell Bank Business Park, Radcliffe, Manchester houses one of the largest in-house decor hire inventories in the North West, while an in-house design studio fabricates bespoke centrepieces, backdrops, suspended floral installations, selfie stations and one-off features. The Bride Style Quiz is run on a third-party platform (Kartra), and online booking for free consultations uses meetme.so/qube; no proprietary AI/ML, API, or integration ecosystem is disclosed.

Revenue is generated via professional service fees across event planning tiers, transaction-based decor hire (full-service and dry-hire options), and one-time-purchase consumer products (Qube Luxe home decor and The Decor Qube Christmas boxes), with a £100 holding fee to secure event dates. Customer acquisition is sales-led: direct outreach, showroom appointments at the Bury/Manchester event studio, presence as official stylist at the National Wedding Show (Manchester Central), venue-referral partnerships with North West venues, and content marketing across Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and a blog covering wedding trends. The company has 1–10 employees, is privately held with no external funding, and has been built around founder/CEO Debbie Marks's 1,500+ live events track record.
