Set A Funky Dress Code
Imagine your colleagues and clients dressed head to toe in iconic 60s fashion. From miniskirts to bell-bottomed jeans, having an established dress code with help set the 60s mood. Having all your colleagues dressed for the occasion will also add to the instagramibility of photos! You could even add a prize for the best dressed costume to encourage guests to go all out!
Incorporate A 60s Themed ‘Chill Zone’
Having a themed chill out zone will give your guests a place to relax in between dancing the night away. Use LED furniture or bright and bold colours throughout so the 60s theme is still captured!

Use Disco Lighting

We have worked with Eventologists for the a couple of years now and can't fault them from start to finish the whole process is very seamless and the stuff they do is incredible! We have themed evenings and they always come up with some fab ideas that help to emphasise the theme and bring it to life. Our events have conference sessions in the venue during the day and we transform them for our awards in the evening and Eventologists always completely transform the space for the evening so that it feels like you're in a completely different space which makes it all feel so much more special and a real celebration and by the time morning arrives its all completely cleared as if by magic!

A wonderful team who made our event space look incredible. Jacob took our ideas and brought them to life. We've had amazing feedback about the event design, so we couldn't be happier. Everyone really loved the living wall and trees!

Rita has been an absolute pleasure to work with; she listened to our ideas and vision and then totally ran with it and created something better than we could have ever imagined! On the event day, Rita and her team swooped in and decorated our venue in record time. Rita and the team were professional and efficient. We look forward to working with Eventologists again next year!

We’ve used the services of Eventologists on numerous occasions and their expertise is priceless. Great service as always from Rita and her team who are always full of ideas and ways to make your event stand out. We’ve hired sets for Moulin Rouge, Great Gatsby, Hollywood and Glitz and Glam plus they created a wonderful set for a festival including tress with festoon and flags. Highly recommended and great to work with.
