  • 320 high-profile guests
  • £76,160 raised
  • 3 specialist event partners
  • 11 months of planning

Event objectives


Collaborating closely with Caudwell Children’s team, we balanced their ambitious creative vision and budget requirements. Through collaborative planning, proactive communication, and innovative solutions, we ensured every detail—from immersive theming and high-end catering to live entertainment—was seamlessly delivered, resulting in an event that exceeded  expectations.

 

  • Launch a distinctive annual gala with its own identity separate from traditional Halloween events. 
  • Create an exclusive and immersive guest experience. 
  • Integrate brand experiences elegantly, including tailored cocktails by headline sponsor V-Rum. 
  • Deliver premium-quality theming, AV production, and catering within charitable budget constraints. 
  • Ensure adaptability and precision in response to shifting event dynamics.

“Maddie – you were incredible on the evening. A couple of the team have mentioned how well you looked after us. The dinner service was really good, as well as clearing – thank you. Again, thank you so much for all your help and support, it has been so lovely working with you on our first ever Moth Ball.”

 

– Vicky Glanville, Event Manager, Caudwell Children

 

High-tech AV and connectivity

 

Collaborating with in-house AV and IT teams, we introduced two unique Wi-Fi networks for guests and production, ensuring smooth presentations on Chromebooks and glitch-free live demos. Our dedicated IT support on setup day installed Google-specific access points in adjacent meeting rooms, a first for 8 Northumberland Avenue.

 

Partnership mindset


We recognised the complex interplay of Google’s branding demands and budgetary considerations. By maintaining open communication, sharing potential pitfalls, and offering creative solutions, we delivered a high-impact event that satisfied both the agent and the client.
