Where Viva takes the mic
Charity Fundraising Auctions
Live auctions for galas and benefit dinners, built to lift the energy and lift the final total. Paddle raises, live lots, and a close that finds the last bid in the room.
Sporting Club Nights
AFL club functions, Presidents' lunches, Hall of Fame nights and club fundraisers. A footy club room reads differently to a ballroom, and Viva calls it accordingly.
Corporate & Memorabilia
Corporate functions, sponsor nights and memorabilia auctions where the items carry real story. Signed guernseys, framed moments, once-only experiences.
Organisations Joel has called for
Charity galas, AFL club functions, corporate dinners and memorabilia nights across Melbourne and Victoria.
Joel Viavattene
Joel Viavattene, Founder of Viva Auction Group, specialises in corporate auctioneering, leading high-impact charity events and memorabilia auctions. He has partnered with respected organisations such as the Melbourne Football Club and the Royal Children's Hospital, among many others, helping to drive strong and engaging outcomes. Joel's goal is simple: to maximise the final sale price through competitive bidding, energy, and momentum in the room.
His experience is built on more than seven years with Harcourts Real Estate, where he works as a Senior Sales Agent and Auctioneer. This extensive real estate background has refined his ability to read a crowd, build urgency, and negotiate at the highest level. These skills he now brings to the room.
