A Night at the Disco for the Hear and Say Ball Brisbane 2012

This 'Night at the Disco' Theme Event was commissioned by the Hear and Say Centre - Brisbane for their Annual Charity Ball and was held at the Brisbane Convention and Entertainment Centre(BCEC). As usual Karen Descovich (Events Manager - Hear and Say) wanted to lift the bar on previous events to ensure her very sophisticated following were given a treat. Lots of lighting and bling combined with the by-gone era made eternal by the movie 'Saturday Night Fever'. All our services combined together and made for Hear and Says most successful fundraiser yet!!! We were asked to provide Event Design, Props and Installation.

EVENT DESIGN

Karen provided us with a Theme and Artwork for the Invitation. From there we developed Concept Drawings so that she could visualise the Decorating plan.Once the creative was reconciled with the budget we then contacted the BCEC and talk through these elements with the Event Planning Manager: Melissa Nguyen and Senior AV Project Manager: Steven McDonald. This consultative process resulted in Decorating Floor Plan that encompassed all our power and Audio Visual  requirements. An event Execution Schedule was developed and shared with all parties.
