Mid-winter Christmas

Season Event Design created this look for the Cyclone mid winter Christmas, including stage, lights sound and decor.

Cool blue tones featured in the twinkling fairy-light canopy and gently moving snowflake lighting effects.

Custom graphics featured in the venue screens, and continued in the place settings to tie the theme through multiple areas.

The cutest snow-globe centrepieces and a glowing photo area completed the look!

Weddings at the Gallery

10 Photos

Our clients wanted to create something quite spectacular to celebrate their wedding recently at Christchurch Art Gallery. The couple with their bridal party and close relations all made a grand entrance into their reception from the staircase, which they wanted to be adorned with elegant beautiful pale blooms.

In total we constructed over 60 metres of garlands to create this effect. The fragrance of the Oriental lilies gently filled the area.

The staircase was also used as a feature for their family, guest and group photos, and our flower wall was enjoyed by all throughout the evening to capture amazing selfies.

Lighting enhanced the venue in the form of delicate fairy lights and bold pink uplighting around the building perimiter.

The Mix: Garden Party

In April 2017 we hosted The Mix: Garden Party – a late-night picnic to send-off summer in style! Inspired by our love of warm nights, great food and Wayne Youle’s new exhibition - Look Mum No Hands, the Garden Party was a vibrant celebration of the summer we missed out on. Party guests explored the exhibitions, grabbed tasty treats from some of Christchurch’s best food vendors, drinks from our pop-up gin bar, and explored Look Mum No Hands with the artist himself and curator Felicity Milburn. Not to mention a talk from iconic New Zealand designer Kate Sylvester, who discussed art and fashion.

Christchurch Art Gallery Foundation Dinner 2016

The Christchurch Art Gallery Foundation’s fourth annual gala dinner was held in the Gallery’s NZI Foyer on Saturday 15 October. This event was extra special, as it was the first of these exclusive dinners to be held in the reopened Gallery. The event raised $93,100 to contribute to the installation of a Bridget Riley work made for Te Puna o Waiwhetū Christchurch Art Gallery.
Kazuya Yamauchi from KAZUYA Restaurant in Auckland created a five course menu reflecting the graphic and minimalistic nature of Bridget's work. This was prepared and served by White Tie Catering, one of our preferred suppliers and Gallery supporters.
