Get your best flappers and suits and be ready to jazz the night away because this Great Gatsby themed event from Eventologists will bring back the Roaring 20’s to the venue building of your choosing from the moment you and your guests set foot in it. Being a time popular for its bold design and architecture, our Art Deco themed decorations will incorporate modernist, cubist designs with dim mood colours and lighting to welcome and transport you to this long-gone era of partying in the jazzy underworld of a ‘speakeasy’.

To enhance your Great Gatsby themed event we offer a range of themed props such as:

• Glamorous pillars to adorn the establishment along with an amazing array of colours on the jazzy dance floor.

• Props such as Art Deco Palm Trees, black feather lampshades, crystal balls, candelabra and lit up chandeliers.

• Sophisticated black leather furniture and tables distributed in an elegant manner across the venue.

• To decorate and add a glam and classy touch to the evening, we offer metallic, fern and pearl table centres, as well as feather trees.

• Elegant drapes and curtains that go fantastically with the theming.

  • 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.
