Gala dinners
Formal table settings, room lighting and a branded backdrop create a setting for a company dinner. We plan the welcome, courses, speeches and entertainment as one running order, with pauses for service and conversation.
Corporate events
with a shared purpose.
Dinners, awards, team programmes and company celebrations. We connect the stage, the room and the running order so the event serves the reason you brought everyone together.
Adults 20+ under our business policy.
Begin with what the occasion needs to do.
A team celebration, a client evening and a product launch ask different things of an event. Tell us who is attending, what they need to see or hear and where you want the focus to be.
For the organising team
We turn the brief into a programme and a defined production scope. The written proposal identifies the agreed equipment, styling, event personnel and venue coordination, with separate allowances for additions that may change the budget.
If your company already has a venue, caterer or communications team, we work around those responsibilities. We ask who approves artwork, who signs off the running order and who can make decisions on the day.
For the people in the room
Guests should be able to follow the event without repeatedly checking what happens next. We plan the welcome, transitions and announcements alongside the entertainment and physical layout.
That might mean a clear view of an awards stage, a place to meet colleagues after a conference or time for teams to compare ideas during a challenge. The programme grows from those practical needs.
Dinners, recognition
and company milestones.
Choose the production elements that support the main moment. Larger staging, specialist equipment and custom fabrication are always scoped separately.
Awards ceremonies
Stage presentation, a trophy display, screen content and an entrance feature can frame the recognitions. Names, pronunciation, presentation order and cue timings are checked with your team before the event.
Product launches
Branded installations, product display zones and screens put the new product in view. We discuss how guests will arrive, where the presentation takes place and how the space changes for discussion afterwards.
Conference after-parties
Lounge areas, stage entertainment and company branding create a change of pace after the final session. The plan accounts for room turnover, arrivals from the conference and the time needed for people to settle in.
Get the team involved.
Interactive programmes give colleagues a task to share. We agree the type of participation, the pace and the practical needs of the group before choosing a format.
Quizzes & game shows
General-knowledge rounds, company trivia, digital scoreboards and a host can bring a room into the same activity. A game-show format adds buzzers, podiums or screens where the scope calls for them.
We can build shorter rounds around a dinner or make the activity a separate session. Your team supplies and approves company facts, names or images used in tailored questions.
Challenges & activity zones
Problem-solving tasks, clue stations and team zones let smaller groups work together. The programme can emphasise discussion, observation or a physical activity suited to the venue and guests.
For sports, carnival or festival-inspired company days, we can plan several areas with clear introductions and a shared finish. All programmes offered through this service follow the adult-event policy.
Other ways to gather.
The event can be formal, social or built around a specific company message. We select the room treatment and activities to fit that purpose.
- Casino-themed company eveningsHosted table entertainment can follow a dinner or form the centre of a staff function. See casino-themed evenings for the table mix, hosting and room-planning details.
- Christmas and seasonal eventsTrees, festive lighting and seasonal table details can frame a staff celebration. Mid-year and winter themes offer another setting for a company gathering.
- Interactive entertainment nightsRoaming performers, photo experiences and interactive stations can be proposed around the guest flow. Each activity and the personnel needed to run it are specified individually.
- Charity and fundraising functionsSponsor displays, a stage presentation and an auction area can support the purpose of the evening. Your organisation leads the fundraising arrangements; those activities are kept separate from casino-style entertainment.
- Themed company dinnersDestination-inspired, historical or theatrical styling can connect table décor and selected performers. The production plan leaves space for service, speeches and conversation.
Branding that belongs in the room.
We discuss what guests need to recognise, where it needs to appear and how it will be produced.
Artwork and approvals
Share the brand guide, logo files and any campaign assets you want to use. We agree which items require your approval, the person responsible for sign-off and the deadline needed for production.
A welcome sign, backdrop and stage screen can carry a consistent identity. Custom fabrication, display installations and major LED walls have different costs and lead times from printed signage.
Presentations and cues
For a formal programme, your running order needs more than start times. We agree who is speaking, when a screen changes, when guests move and which person gives each cue.
We can coordinate the agreed technical roles with your venue or other suppliers. A technician, MC and event coordinator are distinct responsibilities, and the proposal identifies which are included.
Send your date, venue and brief. We can help identify the production needed and the decisions your team needs to make.
Discuss the company briefPlanning a company function.
Can you work with our internal events team?
Yes. Let us know the parts already covered and the tasks you want us to take on. We can agree a defined scope for styling, hosted entertainment, technical production or event coordination.
Can you help with a venue we have not booked yet?
We can discuss the type of space the programme needs and the information to gather from potential venues. Any venue sourcing or coordination service is named in the proposal; venue hire is a separate cost unless expressly included.
Can we add questions about our company to a quiz?
Yes. You provide and approve the relevant facts and material. We agree the number of tailored rounds and the deadline for final content. Avoid sending personal information about colleagues unless you have a proper basis to share it.
Can the programme suit different participation levels?
We can discuss seated tasks, smaller groups, observation roles and breaks. Share access and participation needs early so the format can be reviewed before equipment and staffing are confirmed.
Who handles trophies, screens and presentation files?
We agree this in the scope. A trophy display does not automatically include purchasing trophies, and a screen does not include creating every presentation. Your proposal identifies equipment, content preparation and operator responsibilities.
Do you cover events outside Dunedin?
Events can be arranged around New Zealand. Availability, freight, travel, accommodation and supplier requirements depend on the location and date and are confirmed in the written proposal.
Where can we see a starting budget?
Our gala and presentation production guide describes a small starting scope. Team programmes, styling and table entertainment have separate price groups so you can compare the relevant elements.
Bring us your company brief.
Let us know the occasion, audience and any part of the programme that needs particular attention.
If the venue or date is still open, tell us what you have in mind. A guest estimate and a description of the evening are enough to start a conversation.
