'The Greatest Show'

History / Background

Our client was already using a large hotel venue for their internal sales conference of circa 80 personnel. To simplify logistics and keep within budgets, the evening awards dinner needed to be staged in the same venue.

Challenges

• This event was one of a series of annual events attended by many of the same guests so it was important to offer something different and make it stand out from past events.
• Due to room availability High 5 Events transformed the conference room in a (busy!) 2-hour period from meeting into a spectacular ‘Greatest Showman’ circus-top environment for the evening awards dinner
• The dimensions of the room, particularly as the height restricted the variety of theming to be added
• There were also restrictions on what could be attached to the walls.

Planning

High 5 Events co-ordinated the room setup with the venue and sourced professional dancers, entertainers and live circus themed performers for the evening while working with the client and our AV partner to produce a showreel and brand images to be displayed on plasma screens.

Outcome

While the use of hanging drapes, lighting and globes lowered the ceiling height, the break-up and colour had the effect of creating a circus top entertainment space suitable for the stage performances. This really created a wow as guests stepped from “corporate hotel” to gala dinner venue, complete with red carpet, champagne lady, contortionists, dancers, statues, cocktails, fine wines, gala dinner, awards & dancing with a memorable sparkle for all!
