Winter Wonderland at the Landmark Hotel

The Brief

To celebrate the Christmas Season, our client wished us to turn the venue into a magical Winter Wonderland to surprise and delight around 200 guests, consisting of the company’s highest performers.

The Venue

The beautiful 5-star Landmark Hotel in Marylebone was chosen and we got to transforming the ballroom into the perfect Christmas paradise, which was to be kept a surprise at the host’s request until further into the evening!

The Party

To keep their snowy secret safe, subtle and simplistic decorations were used in the drawing room where guests would be spending the first part of their evening. Sight and sound were blended together to make for an enjoyable reception, along with a caricaturist who made his way around amusing guests by showcasing his artistic talents. Uplights softly illuminated the room, pretty white roses and candles adorned the small tables and a pianist played gently in the background, the combination of which permeated the room with a relaxed, contented and fun atmosphere.

The time came to open the doors to the ballroom and finally show off the dazzling display.

All around, the room sparkled as snow-dusted trees seemingly grew all around, and a sleigh laden with gifts sat in waiting. Walking into the room, guests got another little surprise as they encountered a Father Christmas human statue! A glittering DJ booth and glowing white dancefloor grabbed yet more attention.

Guests were seated at their tables and soon, dinner was served. The comforting sound of classic Christmas songs rang out from a white baby grand piano situated in the middle of the dancefloor, whilst everyone tucked merrily into their meals.  In addition to the gift of a lovely dinner, both Father Christmas and CEO later made their way around the tables, presenting gifts to each person and thanking them for their work at the company – a lovely gesture.

To further commemorate the fun of the evening, guests could wander over to the photobooth and get a snap together against a pretty winter background before going off to dance and enjoy the music into the night!

A wonderful, wintery success and a positively memorable night for all!
