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 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!

  • 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.
