Live Event Auctions
For bigger events, such as a Ball or Gala Dinner, live silent auctions provide a fun and engaging way for guests to bid for auction prizes. With our iPad mini bidding tablets, guests can register, view and bid for items without having to leave their tables, and watch the totals increase on leaderboard screens around the room.
Live silent auctions create a competitive and fun atmosphere, helping to increase amounts bid. Screens can be tailored to your look and feel, sponsor and charity banners can be displayed. We create our own closed network for your event so it can be set up anywhere – even in a field!

jumblebee aims to help raise funds for good causes at the lowest cost. Every effort is made to keep our cost base low so that the highest % of funds raised go to the good cause.
We price our auctions in two ways, either a fixed price or a lower fixed price plus a small % of winning bids. Our prices are not dependent on taking a number of externally sourced auction lots with a supply price.
The business partners set up jumblebee with the aim of helping good causes raise funds. They are actively involved in the business and will make every effort to attend and support your event personally. They will advise on every aspect of your auction to enable you to get the best return for your event.
