Patu Anu

What Patu Anu does

Patú Anú is a privately held event venue operator headquartered in Brasília, Distrito Federal, Brazil, founded in 1996 by Ivana Gasparotto. The company runs two exclusive event venues — Park Way (a 900 m2 mansion-style property surrounded by gardens, accommodating up to 300 guests) and Lago Norte (a 450 m2 contemporary lakeside property with suspended balconies, accommodating up to 120 guests) — operating on a one-event-per-day exclusivity model that ensures each booking receives undivided attention.

The company's product surface combines physical venue rental with optional in-house services: authorial gastronomy directed by founder Ivana Gasparotto and a team of specialized chefs, and bespoke decoration led by Rafaela Orlandini, an architect, landscape designer, scenographer, and floral designer. The integrated offering targets two distinct demand segments: social events (weddings, birthdays, 15 anos celebrations) and corporate events (meetings, product launches, conventions). Underlying "technology" is experiential and design-led rather than software-driven — integrating nature, light, gastronomy, scenography, and service into a sensory event narrative.

The business model is direct-to-consumer and quote-based, with sales conducted via website contact forms, phone, WhatsApp, and email. Revenue is generated from one-time venue license fees and professional services (catering and decoration). Marketing relies on a professional website, Facebook, and TikTok for top-of-funnel demand, with high-touch consultation driving conversion. The company is founder-owned, employs roughly five people, and serves only the Brasília-DF local market with no disclosed external investors, funding rounds, or expansion plans beyond its current footprint.
