Last summer theme at Old Billingsgate

Eventologists were challenged by a research company to design a bespoke themed event for their summer gala dinner that not only reflected the company but also brought the outdoors indoors at an event held at Old Billingsgate in London. The spectacular transformation from an empty event space to a superb corporate event created quite a stir!

Attention to detail and pure magical ingenuity was the key elements to this event. We laid artificial turf on the terrace just outside for drinks reception overlooking the Thames with the London skyline in the background. As guests were ushered in, we forced them to the main banqueting room through a tunnel of arches and trees which were specially design with sparkly reflective garlands to represent our tree of reflection in a garden of reflection, a space where party goers can network, drink and the divide between the banqueting room and the party room!

The banqueting room had a stunning array of garden themed table centres which were specially designed to represent the garden of innovation; 8 full size artificial trees were designed with unique details to represent the companies key messages; a tree with branches and trunks covered with book pages was our tree of knowledge, a tree clad in hundreds of fairy lights represented our tree of light, a stunning white tree with decorated with hundreds of balloons was the tree of creativity. The rest of the garden themed table centres were a cross between enchanted woodland centre pieces and forest themed table centerpieces.

A specially made garden themed halo was our statement piece centerpiece that stood proud on tables around the room, woodland themed blossom tree table centres were made to create height and drama in the room. Stunning log table centres and cloche centerpieces were our low level table centres and what they lacked in height they made up for in impact and detail! The theme continued in the party room with stunning living walls and artificial stone walls for the band and a chill out space created for the guests. And as the song goes – Oh what a night.

Well what a night it was and what an event it was. Hours later, in true Cinderella style, Old Billingsgate was emptied and cleared by all the suppliers. We would like to thank all the suppliers who worked on this amazing event; @Rhubarb, @Metro_broadcast, @eventprofs and @OldBillingsgate for such great teamwork! Until the next time!

  • 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.
