The Great Hall at Birmingham University could not have been a more perfect venue for a Harry Potter Themed Event, with the exception of Hogwarts itself. Eventologists gave this superb Birmingham Venue, the wizardry touch with hanging house banners, Wooden tables and benches, cobweb cauldrons smoking on the tables along with potions in test tubes… Guests were greeted by Harry Potter and Dumbledore in the reception, whilst a string quartet were softly playing the enchanting Harry Potter soundtrack of course wearing traditional house scarves…

Dumbledore’s announcement came and the doors to the Great Hall opened as the smoke came tumbling out, candles were suspended in mid-air as if floating over the tables which were laid for dinner. The “Hedwig’s Theme” blasted out amongst the dramatic lighting, if that wasn’t cool enough, walking into space was like being transported to the Great Hall in Hogwarts Castle…. The magic carried on with Hedwig (Harry’s Owl) delivering the speech for the MD…..If you want a Harry Potter Party Theme, contact our events team on 07973 540799.

Testimonial

“We engaged Deborah and her team to help our firm plan a “Harry Potter” themed event at the Great Hall, Birmingham University for around 500 guests. Deborah was a delight to work with. She clearly has an extensive knowledge and expertise in her field, and we always felt that we came first to her. She understood exactly what we wanted to achieve, and worked to bring our vision together, on time and on budget.  Her team worked extremely hard to make sure our event ran smoothly – working from 6am of the day of the event until 3am the next day. They were all organised, efficient and very helpful. We would recommend Eventologists to any other corporate outfit looking to host an event.

  • We recently worked with Eventologists for our Greene King & Belhaven event and they were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. The bespoke venue dressing they provided was spot on and really brought our vision to life. Their team was incredibly helpful, friendly, and nothing was too much trouble, they truly couldn’t do enough to help. They were more than happy to go above and beyond and their attention to detail played a big part in making the event a great success. Highly recommended!

  • We had the absolute pleasure of working with Eventologists for our Congress gala dinner, and they were nothing short of exceptional. From the beginning, they embraced our Bridgerton theme with creativity, enthusiasm, and incredible attention to detail - transforming the venue into a breathtakingly elegant space, complete with a stunning floral tunnel that truly wowed our guests. Despite several last-minute changes and back-and-forths with the venue and room location, Rita and her team remained patient, professional, and kind throughout. Their flexibility and calm under pressure made the process so much easier and more enjoyable for us. They didn’t just meet our expectations - they went above and beyond anything we had imagined, bringing our vision to life in the most magical way. We can’t thank them enough and would highly recommend Eventologists to anyone looking to create a truly unforgettable event.

  • We were under a tight deadline to open a new lounge venue at our Virgin Hotels London Shoreditch property, and Eventologists saved the day! I reached out to them in the last hour to install temporary artificial plants around the top perimeter of the venue for a photo shoot and our grand opening party. They responded to me in such a quick manner and installed the plants overnight! The team loves how they turned out. Thank you Eventologists!

  • Whatever my vision is for an event, Eventologists always deliver and then some! I've worked with them on three events, one of them was transforming our plain office to an 80s wonderland with a Speakeasy bar! Andrew and the team are a dream to work with and they're SO good at what they do and nothing is ever too much trouble, and if it is - they never make you feel like it is! Would highly recommend!

  • We have used Eventologists numerous times over the years, and each time they exceed our expectations. Rita and the team have a keen eye for detail and ensure a seamless experience from ideation to execution. Given the scale of our events, the demand for dressing three large rooms in individual themes is always a challenge, however, the feedback from our guests is always very positive, praising what Eventologists have delivered.
