Gala dinners and award ceremonies

Whether you are looking for a gala dinner or award ceremony, we know how to create an unforgettable event that brings your people together in celebration and lets them know just how special they are.

Celebrate, rejoice, and engage your people.

From the classic, formal black-tie affair to themed parties and even festivals, your gala event should be unique to you. It should be designed to celebrate your moment, whether that’s a company achievement or milestone, recognition of your people’s hard work, loyalty and dedication, or a thank you to your customers or partners.

Your people deserve an experience that makes them feel truly valued.

Let’s put on a show.

We create unique gala and award events that focus on the finer details.

Our gala dinners and award ceremonies create experiences that put your key messaging and objectives in the spotlight. We give your guests joy and memories they’ll share again and again. We look after all aspects of your event creation and execution to create a unique experience that will leave a lasting impression on your attendees.

Heritage ballrooms, unique or unusual spaces, purpose-built structures – we’ll find the right setting for your event. Multi-course tasting menus, classic three-course, pie & mash, food trucks; we’ll create a menu that whets the appetites of your guests. Simple and elegant or a fully immersive environment, we’ll bring your event to life. Acts that reflect the local culture, acrobats, bands and DJs, even global headliners, solo artists, duos, quartets, orchestras and dance companies, we can book them all. Interactive entertainment, sky-high displays, or the unique and unusual, created just for you. We can keep it simple or go as big as you want.
