Encore transformed the Ballroom at InterContinental Adelaide into a lush Enchanted Forest for the Fight Cancer Foundation’s fourth annual Red Ball Adelaide held on Saturday 1 June. The gala gave Encore’s styling & design team in Adelaide a chance to flex their creative muscles, not leaving a stone in the ballroom unstyled, so to speak. After guests journeyed down the red carpet they were greeted with a beautiful fern-covered archway with decadent gold plinths and spiral topiary plants either side. This was the first clue as to the kind of evening they had instore. Once they entered what used to be a room, the guests were dazzled by the glowing fairy lights, chandelier-filled ceiling and lush greenery all around the room. The stage backdrop was styled beautifully using an array or mirrors, chandeliers and gold mirror frames floating against a tall planter wall. Tables were styled with alternate centrepieces; a mixture of gold twisted willow trees decorated with glass ornaments and tangled in fairy lights with the other being styled a large arrangement of fresh ferns by Botanic Poetry with red beads at the bottom of each vase to incorporate the Fight Cancer Foundation’s colour red.
Encore projected the night’s content onto two 13ft screens flanking either side of the main stage and used the InterContinental Adelaide’s Mh5 Moving Head pin spots to cast beautiful coloured lights and patterns around the room. The enchanted evening was hosted by Adam Giles and included a special performance from Glenn Shorrock. The gala was a huge success, raising more than $116,000 to support South Australian children living with cancer!
“I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Encore again….. particularly this year and would have no hesitation in working with you again if circumstances permit and to recommend you both.
I have had so many wonderful comments about the event….so thank you again for working with me to make it such a success.” Jennifer Carnell, Fundraising Coordinator South Australia, Fight Cancer Foundation
Our team at Park Hyatt Melbourne loved working with Calibre to help deliver this fresh take on a popular theme,”Dream Circus”, for this year’s Calibre & Diona de l’elephant Ball for Batyr. The Batyr Ball is part of a roadshow raising much need funds in support of youth mental health.
Encore Event Technologies delivered an out of this world theme for The Million Dollar Lunch 2018. The ‘Galaxies’ inspired theme was brought to life via complete event staging solution. We created a ‘spaceship’ look using 14 Hex Panels with custom 3D-effect projection to reflect the windows of a spaceship. Internally lit sci-fi inspired spheres became the hero of the centrepieces as guests wined and dined beneath a glittering galaxy created using a bespoke draping installation. It was a record breaking event for The Children’s Cancer Foundation and we were proud to be the partner behind delivering this coveted event at our venue partner, Crown Melbourne.
Mark Holmes, Executive General Manager – Food & Beverage, Crown Melbourne, spoke about the event’s success,
“Encore Event Technologies were once again able to deliver and ensure the event was a success! As a valued partner they contribute in terms of every aspect of the event from the initial concept, to design, to flow and of course the content – once again a memorable event was delivered – thank you. The entire luncheon was seamless and remained true to our objectives, while contributing to a very worthy cause.”
Encore Event Technologies partnered with Crown Melbourne to deliver an immersive New Year’s Eve celebration inspired by American TV comedy series, The Love Boat.
Keen to turn the theme into a unique experience for guests, Encore was responsible for the audio visual production, lighting and styling elements for this fun, themed celebration to ‘Set sail for 2019’.
The New Year‘s event boasted an impressive customised stage, built by Encore, of a giant cruise ship with chaser lighting portholes. A large 3D ‘HMAS Crown’ was projected onto with Edison bulbs, while custom built waves created movement and enhanced the nautical theme.
The event was a great success and showcased Encore’s ability to provide a truly memorable evening.
