What’s New - The latest special event production news from Bright Ideas Event Agency.

When you’re searching for the best of the best, look no further—because that’s exactly who we are. With 37 years of experience, numerous awards, and industry recognition, we’ve mastered the art of planning an award-winning event.

Our secret? It’s all in the recipe—what we like to call the Bright Ideas Lasagna. Each layer is infused with creativity, innovation, and vision, while the “cheese” that holds it all together is our exceptional team, seamless collaboration, and unwavering commitment to excellence.

From concept to execution, we bring your vision to life—flawlessly, memorably, and to the highest standard. Let’s create something extraordinary together!

If you are not convinced, here are a few of the dozens of award-winning events we have done:

With Love From Paris

This is one of our favourite award-winning events we produced in our career. It had been two years since we were locked down by the famous pandemic, which we shall not call by name. So we knew how important it was, more than ever, to give that sense of traveling somewhere exciting  – a vacation, or in other words, to Paris, of course!

As soon as we decided on our destination, we designed our the guest experience. Heavily influenced by the French coffee place aesthetic, we decided to set the stage of Paris in the winter season. Strolling through the streets of Paris on a frosty winter night sounded divine!

Our luck was that we had so much space to work with—20,000 sq. ft., for that matter—so we went all out on décor including our own mini Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Louvre with plaza, a French casino, and Gare du Nord.

Also, lighting was a big factor in With Love From Paris, as we simulated nighttime Parisian streets by using warm and cool tones to emulate a sunset.

The end result was quite romantic. See for yourself.

Gold Bar Gala

For the car lovers, this one is for you. We were tasked with creating a trifecta luxurious car dealership Grand Opening Event. Now, that was not an easy task, we can tell you that! With the competition of such amazing car models, we needed something more than just an ordinary cocktail party and sure enough, we left an impression with a 102-ft-long dessert table. The local Audi dealership was in awe as they celebrated their 50th anniversary properly.

But that is not all. The event was 3 hours long, involved 25 suppliers and vendors, and was held despite adjacent construction. To make things more interesting, the building had only opened to the public three days before the event, so we were still working out the kinks of a brand spanking new building. We washed the whole venue with gold, everything was set up to perfection, and we included a R8 ice sculpture, dancers, and acrobats to push it to the next level.

In short, the event was a great success. Have a look!

The Black & White Ball

We have established that we are not about doing boring corporate events, and the same applies to The NorLand Black and White Ball. Our client was honouring their 30th anniversary and asked us to recreate the perfect setting for a Black and White Ball, and we sure did! We transformed an entire train station to an award-winning event—all 20,000 square feet—into the most dreamlike scenery. We physically built our own custom NorLand Manor House, including a parlour, a library, a games room, and a mezzanine, as well as an enormous staircase—which is quite breathtaking, if you ask us.

Aside from creating a whole house, we made sure to really push that ball experience with actors to bring a realism aspect to it.

This event was something straight out of a fairy tale. See what we mean.

British Secret Garden

Speaking of ethereal, this experience did not disappoint either. The British Secret Garden was the VIP Grand Opening of a JLR showroom for their 50th anniversary and the launch of the Land Rover Velar. Executives from both national and international headquarters attended, so we recognized that the pressure was on!

We had to work with 106,000 square feet—the place was huge. The mission was clear: celebrate this anniversary with a WOW. And we did just that.

“Secret Garden” was the code name, featuring beautiful creatures that were a combination of butterflies and flowers—some with delicate wings—floating around the venue. The most colourful decorations we could find gave the award-winning event a truly fantasy-like atmosphere.

The British Secret Garden was something dreams were made of.  Have a peak here. 

A Christmas Carol Celebration

Movie inspired? We say yes! It was not just another Christmas party—A Christmas Carol was the theme, and we nailed it! With a few goals in mind, such as creating a warm and welcoming setting with traditional festive aspects, we converted the venue into our own European village. With eggnog, turkey, and pies, our guests never felt more at home.

And for one night, we all became one big family. See our family here. 

Gatsby Gala

Lastly, it is about The Great Gatsby—or, as we like to call this phenomenon, the ‘Roaring Speakeasy’. We combined two themes, the Roaring Twenties and Speakeasy, and created the fanciest venue, complete with darkened alleys and secret rooms. This production had all the spice needed for people to talk about it for centuries to come.

Everything was hidden behind one big brick door—a world of the golden age, where gaming and gangsters were waiting for our guests to arrive.

And shh… we might have snuck in some booze too, but do not tell the cops! Check it out!

In conclusion
