How To Throw A Great Gatsby Theme Event
Thinking you were born in the wrong era?
Transport yourself and your guests into the glitzy world of the roaring 20s with an event that embodies the essence of its elegance, excitement, and extravaganza. From dazzling decor to shimmering entertainment, here’s how to throw a Great Gatsby Theme event.
Step Into The Jazz Age
Gold Entrance
Start the evening with an entrance that sets the goldy tone of the event from the start. Consider a grand entryway covered in glittering gold, velvety drapes and props straight from the 1920s.
Black And Gold Tones
The decor is where the magic of the Gatsby party comes alive. Imagine black drapings across the ceiling, gold geometrical structures around the venue and black and gold real-looking mini trees.
Chandeliers And Disco Balls
Feel the clandestine essence of the decade by illuminating your night with chandeliers and gold disco balls all over the ceiling. They will not only add colour but reflect the light all around.
Champagne Tower
You can’t have a good 20s party without enjoying champagne coupes. So ensure your guests have full access to them by installing a golden champagne tower stocked with this sophisticated, gold drink. Top it with big, lush, gold and black leaves and your attendees will not only get drinks from it, but also take pictures for Instagram!
Reflecting the Gatsby Grandeur
Red Flower Table Centrepiece
Add a touch of colour by placing red flower arrangements on the tables. They perfectly go with the sophisticated tone of the event while popping out as a surprising element.
Feather Centres
You can’t have a good 20s party without the presence of feathers. Amaze your guests by placing a bouquet of feathers as table centrepieces so that the magic of Gatsby is in every table. You can even choose the colour of the feathers!
Unforgettable 20s Entertainment
1920s Style Band
Everyone gathered in the 20s clandestine clubs for three main things: for the company, to drink, and to listen to good music. You can’t forget to have a live band playing the best jazz of the glorious era.
Flapper Girls
And if you want a fully immersive experience, bring dancers from another time dressed in flapper clothes to entertain your guests with dazzling performances.
Let The Jazz Play!
As the last champagne coupe clinks and the jazz band plays its final note, your Great Gatsby themed event will leave your guests like they’ve just stepped out of the iconic parties. With Eventologists at your side, we’ll take care of all the gold and feathers while you charleston to the best hits.

We have just had our annual awards event and used Eventologists for the venue décor and evening's entertainment, and I can't express how grateful I am. The evening was a huge success! Eventologists did an amazing job in making it what it was and creating the vibe! Jen was lovely and hugely supportive. She captured everything we wanted and communication was exceptional - we know this is key, so I can't thank you enough. We look forward to working with you again!

This was my first time working with an event management company, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. Rita and her team were exceptional—everything was executed beautifully and exactly as I had envisioned. The decorations received so many compliments, and all our guests had a wonderful evening. Thank you for making the event so special!

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.
