Which authority handles what – public order, building safety, environmental protection, or fire regulations?
Without experience, it’s easy to lose track. We know the system – and guide your event safely through it.
Plan your event – we handle the permits.
Stress-free permits and compliance with OM Consult & Event
Planning a street festival, open-air concert, or another public event in Berlin – but don’t want to get buried in paperwork?
We handle the entire permit process for you – fast, reliable, and with direct access to local authorities.
Confusing approval processes
Unclear which permits and documents your event needs?
Site plans, safety concepts, hygiene protocols – event organizers often struggle to know what’s actually required.
We provide clarity and ensure all documents meet official standards.
Permit deadlines are tight
Late submissions risk rejection. Many authorities require several weeks’ notice – last-minute changes are rarely accepted. We know the timelines and ensure everything is submitted on schedule.
Inconsistent rules depending on the district
Each municipality has different priorities. What’s accepted in one area might be rejected in another. Standard solutions rarely work – local knowledge is key.
Every clarification request means lost time.
Unclear details or missing documents often trigger follow-up questions from authorities – wasting time and causing frustration. We prepare your application with precision, so nothing slows you down.
Challenging contact with local offices
Long processing times, unclear contacts, and complicated forms often make communication with authorities a real challenge. We handle the coordination, follow up with the right offices, and keep your event on track.
Lack of coordination among authorities
Police, fire services, public transport – if no one manages the coordination, essential details can fall through the cracks. We connect the dots and make sure nothing important is missed.
Unclear regulations and risk of fines
Hosting an event without clear approval can lead to fines or forced cancellations – a risk that keeps many from moving forward. We handle the legal side, so you can focus on delivering a great experience.
Quick Check – Do you need a permit for your event?
Whether it’s a street festival, cultural event, or large gathering – if your event requires official approval, things can get complicated fast.
We handle every step for you – from the initial consultation to final clearance from the authorities.
That’s why we start with a few key questions:
Is the event open to the public?
Are you using public space (streets, squares, or parks)?
Will there be live music, food & beverages, or stage setups?
Are you expecting more than 50 attendees?
Will streets need to be closed or traffic managed?
Will you be using technical infrastructure (e.g. electricity or water connections)?
If you answered “yes” to one or more of these questions, you’ll likely need a permit – and we’re here to help!
Our services – so you don’t have to worry:
- Consulting on the right permit strategy
- Preparing all required documents (e.g. site plans, safety, hygiene, and traffic concepts)
- Direct communication with authorities
- Coordinating with other stakeholders such as fire services, police, transport providers, and public interest bodies
- Supporting you throughout the entire permitting process
