Christmas Party to IMPRESS for International Company
The Brief
To organise for the fourth time an impressive Christmas Party that would be even bigger and better than the previous three events. All drinks would be included, and the venue and entertainment had to be top class.
The Venue
From the choice of venues we presented to the client they chose the Royal Garden Hotel set in the heart of Kensington just a stone’s throw from Kensington Palace, many international embassies and homes of well-known celebrities. The event was held in the opulent Palace Ballroom. This hotel is renowned for its high-quality food and service.
The Party
The theme was Brazilian. The guests entered and were given Brazilian cocktails and were greeted by beautiful Brazilian dancers, with the drumming of the band in the background. The tables and chairs were bedecked with multi-coloured linens in the national colours of green, yellow and blue in the Palace Ballroom. With uplighting around the room and on the tables there was an atmosphere of Carnival Time in Rio. As the first course was served, our teenage Brazilian footballer – Colin Nell – wowed the guests with his foot balling skills. He is now the European football trickster champion who has appeared in many films and television advertisements. The guests loved this original ‘cabaret’. After the welcome speeches and the presentation of awards, guests feasted upon a traditional Christmas dinner and at the end of the meal 20 Brazilian dancers came onto the dance floor and performed their 30 minute cabaret which included a great deal of audience participation. After dessert Colin Nell returned to the floor and tried to find from the audience the top football trickster. A great deal of fun and excitement ensued, involving all the guests. The DJ played on till 2am and the dance floor was throbbing. As an additional gesture to the guests arrangements had been made for those who wished to stay overnight at very good rates. The next morning an extra surprise was laid on for our client as we had hired the private restaurant on the 10th floor for those who had stayed and they were able to enjoy a buffet breakfast overlooking the grounds of Kensington Palace.
