The Brief
To design and deliver an exclusive and unique incentive trip for a group of US executives and their partners in an iconic venue that would offer an unparalleled experience. 60 invited guests from the US who were staying in Mayfair for a 4 day UK trip wanted to make their final night super special.
The Solution
Our starting point was the venue search itself. After digging deeper into the groups likes and dislikes, our search led to the stunning historic Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire; a magnificent country house that was once home to Winston Churchill. The client loved the venue, steeped in history, who wouldn’t?! MGN are a preferred event production supplier to Blenheim Palace – we always recommend the stunning property to clients.
Attention to detail was key to the success of this event, and we took care of everything.
Guests travelled from London by Helicopter and were delivered to the entrance of Blenheim Palace in a convoy of Range Rovers. Upon arrival, a champagne reception was held in the Great Hall, where we had set up a stylish, circular mirrored bar and an exquisitely presented seafood station. Here, our menagerie of animals established the theme, and this was continued into the Long Library, where a seated four-course meal was served.
Mirrored dining tables were dressed with an abundance of beautifully crafted floral displays, and the animal theme was continued throughout. The basement café was convincingly transformed into a sophisticated club environment, with a custom-made stage for the DJ, dancefloor and lounge area. And to round off the evening? Guests were treated to a very special performance – a heliosphere aerial act, which was a spectacular and awe-inspiring climax to the event.
