The Painful Search for an Event Planning Company begins …..

 

We know what it feels like, January hits and the frantic search for your Corporate Event Management Company begins. When it comes to décor – where do you starts?? Who do you choose?? How do you choose? OMG how hard is it to work out who is right for you? What do you do? Most companies these days turn to the net but you can spend days trawling through pages and pages - wasting precious time and energy trying to find different companies for different things – when one company can manage a whole host of things and take the pressure away. Google madness begins – every permutation of googling to find the right supplier starts here – or does it have to????

We advise many companies on the best ways to search, we suggest doing the following:
- Getting word of mouth advice from venues or group companies works
- Do your research when you are shortlisting who you like;
- Go on their website and get an understanding of who they are and who they work with
- Call the theming company and speak to them to get a feel for what they do and whether you can work with them.
- The best way is a face to face meeting having understood more about the corporate theming company

Party time for Mitchells and Butler – Office Christmas Party Theming by Eventologists

Party time for Mitchells and Butler – Office Christmas Party Theming by Eventologists

Eventologists helped to make the party rock with theming and entertainment at Mitchells and Butler Head Office on Fleet Street this week for their annual staff Christmas party. The challenge was to set-up overnight for the party and then de-rig overnight to recover for business as usual for the next day. Team Eventologists always rise up to the challenge with a strong team led by Sital transformed the corporate space into the magic of Christmas and Winter Wonderland.

The balcony was draped in Fairy lights, our stunning trees were dotted around as statement pieces around the building. The band area was dressed with a grotto style ice canopy. An ice cave was created for the bar area and lit up in cool blues to create a great chill out space and drinking area for guests. Cool Blue theming meets Winter Wonderland in a contemporary and classy way was the ambience that Eventologists finally created. As Office Christmas Parties  go, this was a great one! Midnight struck 12 and our little helpers arrived again to clear the room. By 1am – all was quiet and the mammoth task of clearing up started. Within a few hours, the Mitchells and Butler office started to look like something of the past rather than a party platform. By 4am – the office was clear – the party was over for another year. Check out the before and after pictures of the event.

Testimonials

We’ve had some great feedback that we would like to share with our readers and would like to thank Mitchells and Butler for their trust in us to deliver their event
Congratulations for arranging such a fantastic Christmas party last night and for returning the offices to normality today so brilliantly.
It was a great evening which I am certain our colleagues enjoyed enormously. I am pretty sure that the event beat expectations.
The band was pitch perfect: it could not have been bad if its music encouraged the CEO onto the dance floor at one point!
I know that you all put a huge amount of effort in: thank you.

Brilliant job on the Xmas party last night mate, big thanks to all involved.

Just a quick note to say that last night was brilliant, everyone was so impressed. Please pass on my thanks to you and everyone else who helped organise the event

…… fantastic night folks – it was a tremendous success and you should all be so proud of yourselves for making it a party that we will be talking about for a long time to come.  Everyone appreciated the amount of hard work and time that went into ensuring that we all enjoyed ourselves – well done J. Please pass on thanks and congratulations to your teams.

Who can I thank for the absolutely fantastic time which I had last night. I don’t think I can find enough words of praise to thank everyone concerned for the first and hopefully not the last Christmas party.

Wanted to say a BIG thank you to you and your guys who did a fantastic job last night (and throughout the early morning to put everything back together!).  Your efforts were definitely worth it!

Orchard Hotel Launch at East Midlands Conference Centre by Eventologists

Orchard Hotel Launch at East Midlands Conference Centre by Eventologists

Eventologists created a real organic theme for the new De Vere Hotel near East Midlands Conference Centre when they opened officially in November 2012. The Orchard Hotel was turned into a true outdoor haven when 12 our stunning blossom trees were used to create an inside-outside theme for the launch. Amongst the showcase for the night was entertainment by the visually stunning Graffiti Classics, our petal arch showered guests with petals as they arrived and the lighting created effects created by box media off set the entire room. We share with you some of the highlights of the night. If you have a launch or special event that you need experts for why not call us on 07973 736061 or e-mail us on info@eventologists.co.uk

You’re off to University...so, let’s Party!........

You’re off to University...so, let’s Party!........

Every student knows that theme parties can be some of the most fun events to attend during your years at University. The parties themselves are great and the dressing up and creation of a costume can often be the highlight of the night.
Building a dressing up draw with a few key pieces for the numerous themed parties will prove itself invaluable and so useable, over and over again! So here are some great tips to building a wardrobe full of basic mixing and matching. You probably have some of these theme party “essentials” in your wardrobe already.

Read on to see our top picks!

Party: A wild or animal theme, or any party that requires a quick and cute costume.

 

How to Style it: There’s a reason animal ears are number one on our list of essentials! They’re cute, take up virtually no space and are relatively inexpensive and are super easy to style. Search for a pair of ears in the children’s section online all year round! Pop a pair on with any outfit and you’re automatically a cute kitten or sassy bunny.....



Party: Army, or hunting theme.

How to Style it: Another easy pick, grab a cheap camouflage tee-shirt or jacket from a high street or Army-surplus shop, add jeans and boots, some green and black strips on your cheeks and you’re good to go!







 

Party: 80's

How to Style it: Any ridiculously bright bottoms works for these parties, neon leggings are  your biggest asset. Your leggings/bottoms will be the focal point of your outfit but remember to go equally bold and bright with the rest of your look if you’re dressing for an ’80s theme! Make sure to check out Ebay for deals!

Party: The Only Way is Essex/ Geordie Shore.

How to Style it: A ridiculously tacky, brightly-coloured mini dress deserves a place on this list simply because it’s inexpensive, works for a variety of themes, and is easy to style for a variety of party themes. Seriously, who hasn’t been to one of the above parties?  











Party: Cowboy/ Country theme.

 How to Style it: Another easy essential that you likely already own, cowboy boots add a fun and flirty vibe to any outfit. Whether you tuck your skinny jeans into them, wear your boots with a sundress you will certainly rock at sundown.....

Colour Trends for Events 2012 to 2013

Colour Trends for Events 2012 to 2013 

Did you know that Event designs often follow fashion colour trends?....what I mean by that statement is that you will often find the more prevalent and predominant colours featured within any event theme may often follow the actual latest trends....

So what colours will stay and what will make a comeback for the remainder of 2012?

Red, white and blue have been incredibly strong this year following the Diamond Jubilee and the current 2012 Olympics. These will remain strong for the remainder of the year whilst blue will grow, red will definitely fall back next year according to a colour trend forecast.

Browns are growing in importance; they add depth and are great alternative base tones. Black meanwhile, sits on the forever eternal circle and seems in danger of being pushed aside. However, Vera Wang, designer to the superstars reported that 9 out of 15 wedding dresses made were black.... Will black be seen again as avant-garde? 

Peaceful neutrals will be strong in 2013. Whilst metallics, once very rare, have become so much a part of everyday colour language. Look out for metallics in all colours instead of the standard gold, silver and bronze. 

Whilst red becomes less important, we will see a growing influence of yellow along with orange shades - these are happy and bright and will make any event stand out from the crowd. Pink continues to make itself known for 2013.

So are you in ‘colour trend’ for your event? Call us and find out more....
