Dinner Dance at The Dorchester

The Brief

With 140 attendees, the client for this project demanded the only very best, in what was to be a traditionally luxurious endeavour at one of London’s finest five-star hotels.

The Venue

Selected for its luxuriousness and prestige, The Dorchester on Park Lane was an obvious choice. But, with the client’s exclusive permission for use of the extravagant Holford and Orchid suites, the night was set to be a dazzling success.

The Event

Arriving at the hotel, guests proceeded through the lobby, which is lavishly decorated during the Christmas period; featuring an enormous Christmas tree, giant ginger bread replica of The Dorchester hotel and an elf’s tuck shop. After moving through the lobby, guests were greeted and welcomed into the intimate and timeless Holford suite to enjoy champagne and canapes.

Once all the guests had arrived and enjoyed the champagne reception, the doors to the stunning Orchid room were opened, revealing a traditional and sophisticated setting for the rest of the evening. The room boasts its own stunning chandeliers and detailed decorations but our team enhanced the atmosphere with some well-placed colour-wash lighting and background music.

After seating, guests were treated to a truly exceptional 3-course meal, followed by coffee and petit-fours. The awards and speeches celebrating the achievements of various employees took place shortly after the dinner. This was followed by the party itself, with the Holford room opening up once again as a ‘party room’. Here, guests enjoyed an unlimited drinks package on the beautiful silver bar as well as a DJ, saxophonist and percussionist playing a one-of-a-kind DJ live concept.
