Encore was engaged by Auto & General to create a gala dinner event that was a work of art, celebrating and honouring its 1,200 guests. Transporting guests into a fantasy world of crystals and Vanity Fair inspired parties that surprised and delighted them. Utilising the symbol for a 15 year partnership, crystals were selected as the basis of the event creative concept. The grand entrance was created using red carpet flanked by bollards and rope and a custom branded media backdrop for photo opportunities. Once guests entered the main room, they were greeted with a stunning ‘Vanity Fair’ style Event Backdrop covered entirely in lush greenery and featuring white 3D lettering of ’15 years’, – creating another perfect photo op for guests. The hero room feature was the giant mirror ball surrounded by 6m long crystal beaded chandeliers, and when lit cast thousands of moving sparkles around the room. As a special treat for the guests, they were treated to a flash mob performance by several Auto & General employees and finished with Captain Risky. Our unique concept included a lovely 12mL x 6mH beaded ‘crystal’ curtain used as the backdrop for the in house stage. This allowed a grand entrance for the star performer at the end of the night; Guy Sebastian.
Paying homage to the intricate Maori flax weave, the Encore New Zealand events team created a stunning gala dinner for the 2016 New Zealander of the Year Awards. Our role as the audio visual partner was to provide the perfect event environment to support the awards ceremony, live performances and room arrangement for 690 guests. This included all the audio, vision, lighting, stage design and production management. The stage design was constructed using 13 Expo stand panels, re-purposed in zig-zag arrangement to provide a complementary for the content to be projected onto using three 10K projectors. On either side of the centre stage were two 16ft wide screens displaying the videos, awards categories and live camera feed. Being a live broadcast event, it was crucial all audio visual elements ran flawlessly with as much exposure of sponsor logos and branding as possible. It was another successful year, and we’d like to extend our congratulations to all the winners!
