SOP Events: How to organise your gala reception?

A gala reception takes time to organise. To make sure everything is perfect, it is necessary to plan it in advance to be able to find availability for the place and the services you like. We therefore advise you to contact us at least one month before the date of your event.

A gala reception is event better if there is a theme around which the different activities and entertainments or elements of the decoration revolve. This creates a common theme that connects all the elements of the event. Whatever theme you choose, we can make it happen for you. Our team of decorators, entertainers, caterers, artists (dancers, musicians, painter…), hostesses, waiters etc. are at your disposal to create the event of your dreams.

The reception venue is the key element of your event, it is the WOW factor that must be created in the guests’ minds. To do so, we can offer you different choices of reception venues according to your desires: castle, estate, barge, yacht, racecourse, concert hall, art galleries… We can organise scouting so that you can discover the places upstream and choose the one that suits you best. Once the place has been chosen, we will decorate it according to the theme of your event.

A successful event also depends on the quality of the food and the beverages offered. We are always looking for the best caterers who guarantee fresh, quality products, and you can trust us to advise you. If you want to offer your guests different types of dishes, we advise you to organise your reception area with several culinary stands: cold meats, cheese, smoothie bar, ice roll bar, cocktail, workshop, snow bar, coconut bar, oyster bar, wine bar etc. We also take into account the different diets of your guests: gluten-free, vegan, hallal, kosher etc.
