§ HOW IT WORKS
One planner owns your event end to end — you are not handed between departments once the contract is signed.
Dates, rough numbers, the shape of the day and any spaces you already have in mind. Two minutes on the form, or a message to the events desk.
A named planner picks it up
Availability, the rooms that fit, a set-up plan and an indicative cost — day-delegate, residential or bespoke — usually back the same working day.
One document, one number to react to
A site visit with your planner and, if you want them, the chef and the AV lead. We hold the date provisionally while you decide.
A provisional hold on your date
Sign, pay the deposit, and the same planner runs the event on the day — briefing the kitchen, the floor and the technicians, and handling the breakdown.
One point of contact, brief to breakdown
§ DELEGATE PACKAGES
Day-delegate, 24-hour residential, board-dinner and wedding packages — bundled so you are not costing the room, the screen and the coffee line by line. Rates are indicative and confirmed on proposal.

§ WHY EMIN PASHA
The reasons a second event is booked before the first one has been broken down.
Venue, catering, rooms, parking and the after-party on a single contract. Nothing is sub-contracted, so nothing falls between two suppliers.
Asian, European and African menus from the hotel's own restaurants — tastings on site, dietary requirements handled, no caterer's mark-up on top.
The person who quotes your event runs it on the day. You are never handed to an 'operations team' after signing.
The Equatorial Gardens — lawned, private, and the best outdoor picture spot in Kampala — ten minutes from the CBD, not an hour down a marram road.
Delegate blocks, a bridal suite and late checkout on the same estate — speakers and the top table are not driving across town at midnight.
Gated parking, a separate event entrance and a green room off the hall — for a minister, a keynote or a nervous bride.
§ FROM THE FLOOR
Placeholder notes from recent corporate and private clients.
Annual conference, 400 delegates
“We moved off a convention centre and did not lose a beat. Registration, plenary and eight breakouts ran on one site, lunch was out in fifteen minutes, and our account manager was in the room the whole day.”
Head of events — placeholder
Financial services · placeholder date
Two-day board offsite
“Boardroom by day, private dinner by night, everyone slept upstairs. The video kit actually worked for the directors who dialled in. We have booked the next two here.”
Company secretary — placeholder
Listed company · placeholder date
Garden ceremony, 180 guests
“One wedding that day meant the gardens were ours from morning. The photos in that light are unreal, dinner in the hall was seamless, and the after-party by the pool went until we called it.”
Bride — placeholder
Kampala · placeholder date

reservations@eminpasha.com§ GOOD TO KNOW
Provisional holds, deposits, catering, AV, parking and accommodation blocks — the questions the events desk fields most.
They are indicative maximums so you can shortlist rooms. Your real number depends on staging, a dance floor, AV positions and catering style, so the exact figure for your layout is confirmed on the proposal and at the site visit.
Yes — and it is a feature, not a restriction. All food and drink come from the hotel's own restaurants, so there is no external caterer's mark-up, tastings happen on site, and dietary requirements are handled by the kitchen that will cook on the day.
Kudara Hall has an in-house stage set, screens, projection and a sound system, and a technician is on site for the event. Specialist rigs — LED walls, multi-camera, simultaneous interpretation — are brought in through our partners and quoted in the proposal.
A signed contract and a deposit confirm the booking, with the balance due before the event. Bookings over ten rooms follow our group terms — written confirmation within 14 days, rooming lists 7 days out, and a 50% deposit. The exact schedule is on your contract.
Yes. We hold a room block against your event — delegate rates for a conference, a guest block and bridal suite for a wedding — on the same estate, so nobody is travelling across Kampala late at night. Unused rooms are released back on an agreed date.
§ THE LAST STEP
Send the brief and a planner comes back the same working day with what is available and what it costs. Prefer to talk it through first? All three lines reach a person.
