the big night

A night they will talk about

They have talked about this night for months, so the arrival should be worth it. They walk in on a red carpet with the harbour at dusk behind them, and by the time the photos are done the city is lit up across the water. Inside, the tables are set and the dance floor is waiting. The people who organised it get to stand at the back and watch it all happen.

One person holds the run sheet

Your coordinator holds the run sheet from the first bus to the last pick-up, with security on the door and the bar run to the rules of your night, whether that is alcohol-free for a Year 12 formal or a licensed bar for a uni ball.

The AV is in the room: speakers, microphones, screens and a stage for the awards. Bring your DJ or band, your photographer and your theme, and we will set the floor plan around them.
