The Story Behind KS Entourage

You may have heard it - KS Entourage Sdn. Bhd, many stories behind it especially after the much publicized wedding of Yusry and Lisa Surihani, but what you don’t know is how did it all started and what do we offer. That’s definitely the purpose of today’s post which is to write about the story behind the success of KS Entourage Sdn. Bhd.

KS Entourage is owned and managed by Khairul Shahril or KS, as the name itself suggested. After graduating from Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), KS started working for Astro. He also became the info reader at two local radio stations – Sinar FM and Era FM.

How did it all started?

Working in the broadcasting world definitely gives that person the opportunity to meet a lot of people. That was when KS was asked to become a wedding MC (Master of ceremony). Also along the way he has helped quite a number of wedding ceremonies which required him to do the flower arrangements and such. After working with Astro, he then went to Budapest for work.

After coming back from Budapest, KS received numerous questions and enquiries whether or not he has set up a company which organizes events. It was during this period of time that KS got the idea of finally setting up an event organizer company. Alas in 2008, KS Entourage Sdn. Bhd. was born!

At first, the company only offered coordination, lighting and MC services only but after six months into the business and clients asking don’t we offer dais (pelamin) decoration services and such, he decided to expand the services including decorating the entire event.

What makes KS Entourage unique?

            Of course in Malaysia, we have numerous wedding and event planners that have been doing very well and utterly famous. So what is it, that you may ask, that makes KS Entourage unique apart from all these competitors? Simple. KS Entourage is the first wedding planner who came up with the idea of event coordinator, the whole coordination team as well as catering offered in the services.

            KS got this idea of compiling these important elements into an entire service while he was in Europe. Why? Because normally when people want to get married, the first person that they will look for is either the designer or the caterer. What people don’t know is that they are making a huge mistake by doing that. In Europe and Jakarta, the first person that a bride and groom will look for is the wedding coordinator. These people are the ones who will suggest and propose what they should or should not do. Not only that they are running a business, but they are educating people at the same time, avoiding their clients not to do mistakes which at the end of the day might embarrass them.

Does KS Entourage only cater for weddings?

            Oh honey! That’s where you got it all wrong! We at KS Entourage is not restricted to weddings only. As I’ve mentioned earlier, KS Entourage is an event planner. Not only weddings, but we do everything! From birthday parties to corporate functions and annual dinners. From team buildings, product launching to make up. In other words, KS Entourage is THE one stop centre for everything you need in organizing an event. Not to mention, we were the official event coordinator and planner of Nuffnang Asia-Pacific Blog Awards 2011  as well as World Universities Peace Invitational Debate (WUPID) 2011 Press Conference.

            There you have it, everything you need to know about how did it all started and of course a little bit of KS’ background. Oh and don’t be surprised when I say KS knows how to quilt! And not to mention, he was named the top five Malay debaters in Malaysia not just by the  Teh Tarik puller at a Mamak, nor the fishmonger. But he was named by Majlis Debat Universiti Malaysia (MADUM). It is a very prestigious award. So don’t bother arguing with him, you’ll just waste your time. Cheers!
