Sylvester Creates. Captures. Moves.

Sylvester is the longest-existing production house in Belgium, but we are not yet dealing with a walking frame. With TV, video, live events and (since this year) online and virtual events, we have 4 specializations in-house, with 1 common goal: telling stories and connecting staff, customers and / or stakeholders with a full experience. Today we have hundreds of events and programs on the counter. Realized by fantastic teams who in some wonderful way always manage to turn the idea you have in your head into reality. And also within your budget. Programs, videos and events that resonate.

Set up events that bring people and companies closer together and make them grow. Creating films and television programs that hit ten strings at once. And in the mix of these areas of expertise, we also create high-profile online events (live streams) and virtual events with our self-built virtual event platform MEEPLE, which has now been echoed abroad.


Every day is a pleasure to accomplish great things. To organize the most complex projects in such a way that it seems as if it took no effort. To smash the walls between television, video and (digital) events with the creative sledgehammer. And thereby achieve results that open mouths and create pure magic.

There are trendy terms for this, such as cross-media, multi-platform and live communication. But our cases say more than 1,000 buzzwords. Create, invent, organize, delegate, develop, design. We are born for it. It is the accelerator of our existence and we still have a tight grip on the control stick after 25 years. Every little aspect of your assignment is handled by our people. From idea to concept. From logistics to production. And we are proud of that. Because control freaks? Yes, we are. But the result is also corresponding.

Interested? Contact us and we will sit down or set up a video meeting.

Fast, reliable and friendly!

Bednet will be celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2024 and we wanted to celebrate that. Sylvester helped us set up an event in the Flemish Parliament. From the start of our collaboration, they made a great effort to create something beautiful that fit within our budget and the idea we had in mind. They also clearly indicated the deadlines and what we could expect from the day. Increases (or decreases) in price were checked in advance. On the day itself, Jason and Lieselotte had everything under control and took on tasks to relieve us of our worries. We received many compliments about the event from those present. Highly recommended to work with!

Circular State of the Union

We have worked with Sylvester before to our satisfaction. We also called on them for our community event Circular State of the Union 2024. Their professionalism, extensive experience and proactive attitude provide peace of mind when organising large events. They are a reliable partner, both in the preparation and during the event itself. We also appreciate their smooth and clear communication.

Expert meeting in connection with the Belgian Presidency of the EU

In the context of the Belgian presidency of the Council of the European Union, Sport Vlaanderen organised an informal expert meeting on “(Digital) solutions to involve the independent athlete/sportsperson more" in Sport Vlaanderen Bruges on 25 and 26 April 2024. We called on Sylvester Events to organise this two-day expert meeting. Communication with Marjon, Stefan and Lieselotte went very smoothly and constructively from the start. Lieselotte was our main point of contact and the first coordinator (besides ourselves) for the organisation of the expert meeting. She often came up with creative ideas and thought of things that we would not have thought of at first. In addition, there was always clear communication about the expected budget and which decisions/applications would have an impact on this. Together we succeeded in setting up a very successful expert meeting, so we look back with great satisfaction on the collaboration with Sylvester Events.

Staff event

We called on Sylvester to organize our staff event for 650 participants. Hendrik and Lune guided us very well in this: we received clear feedback on our questions, they thought constructively and proactively about the design and also made suggestions for improvements/adjustments. They also looked at what was possible to provide everything within our budget and looked for alternatives where necessary. During the set-up and during the event, they monitored everything carefully and provided us with feedback on the state of affairs. They professionally resolved some practical problems with the catering and subsequently discussed them with the caterer. It was a great collaboration with a successful event as a result.

Flexible and proactive!

We worked together with Sylvester to organize a symposium on menopause. It had to happen quickly! Colleagues Shannon and Gelein acted flexibly and proactively to realize all our wishes. A very nice event was put together at very short notice, with nothing but congratulations afterwards! Until next time!

Thanks, Sylvester!

We worked with Sylvester to organize our Smart Shipping Conference in Antwerp (May 16, 2024), which was part of the Belgian EU presidency. The event was planned and prepared in detail from A to Z. The conference took place on board the ship 'Blue Rhapsody', which presented many logistical and technical challenges. And that's where Sylvester came into the picture perfectly. Not only did we as an organization receive maximum support during the preparations, the communication prior to the event and the day itself also went smoothly and professionally. The contact with Femke, Randy and Jason from Sylvester was very nice, so at the end it really felt like we were one team. Thank you for that!

European event on the right track with Sylvester

In the context of the European Presidency of the Council of the European Union, PMV organized an event in the Brussels Bozar together with Wallonie Entreprendre, SFPIM and finance&invest.brussels. We called on Sylvester for this, who did this excellently: very hands-on and always willing to listen and looking for solutions.

Because it was an event in co-organization with 4 parties, this was not always an easy task in terms of communication, but given the good multilingualism of the team, they also managed this in an excellent way. Recommendable!

The PMV New Year's reception is the networking moment of the year for many in the investment world. More than 800 bankers, entrepreneurs, lawyers and financiers look forward to our event every year. Of course, everything must run smoothly. We called on Sylvester for the first time and we did not regret it: the Sylvester team had complete control over the entire event and managed to improve some aspects of the event.

A blast of an event! Top organization by the Sylvester team!

Only superlatives about the event, so all credit goes to the Sylvester team: open and correct communication, transparent accounting, creative ideas, videos with a large portion of humor, a quick pen, ... we were in good hands for the organization of our 50 year anniversary. They put on a fantastic event and took care of us from start to finish. Thank you!

Great experience with Sylvester

Last week we had the pleasure of working with Sylvester Events for our corporate event for Murprotec. We would like to express our sincere appreciation for the excellent work done by the team. The event went absolutely smoothly, and everything we requested was carried out immediately without any problems. From the very first contact with Sylvester we felt like we were in good hands. They immediately understood our wishes and needs, and translated them into a fantastic event in a professional and efficient manner.

A special word of thanks goes to Wouter and Rani van Sylvester, who assisted us throughout the entire process. Their expertise and dedication were evident at every stage of the planning and implementation. They were always available to answer our questions and responded quickly to any changes or adjustments we wanted to make along the way.

In addition to the flawless execution, our appreciation was especially great for the creativity and eye for detail that Sylvester showed. They knew exactly how to translate the atmosphere and message of our company to the event. From the decoration to the entertainment, everything was perfectly tailored to our corporate culture and the theme of the day.

As a company we highly recommend Sylvester Events. They have proven that they are a reliable partner that excels in professionalism, creativity and customer focus. Thanks to their efforts, we had an unforgettable corporate event that all Murprotec employees will talk about for a long time.

Sylvester is great!

If you come to Sylvester for your project(s); then you just know it's going to be perfect. From the first vague briefing to realization; Sylvester thinks along, is original and makes everything right down to the smallest detail. Moreover, they are all fantastic people who have a perfect sense of what's going on.
I could go on and on: flexible, honest, loyal, quality-oriented, sympathetic, empathetic,... in short, anyone who chooses Sylvester can be assured that something fantastic will be delivered.

All great people to work with who don't shy away from a challenge. The more difficult the question, the more enthusiastic they are to organize it. Nice people to work with, they think along and take care of the smallest details; they make the difference.
