You want to be able to report on each of these, yes? Just se up your 
tree so that your will be able to run the reports.

YOU can "set tags" as part of the account's name. You have room rent for 
all three events? Then you have an account (under expense) with room 
rent (placeholder) having three children, event1-room-rent, event2 
-room-rent, event3-room-rent. You can run a "statement of Revenues and 
expenses" for each even JUST including accounts with names starting 
event1, event2, event3.
