Miami Vice

Brief

Planning a Miami Vice-themed corporate summer party involved channeling the vibrant, stylish atmosphere of the 1980s TV show. Our comprehensive event planning and management services ensured a seamless, immersive experience that transported guests to the glamorous world of Miami Vice. From concept development to execution, every detail was meticulously planned to deliver an unforgettable event for 500 guests in central London.

What we did

Initial Consultation and Concept Development

We began by consulting with our client to understand their vision, objectives, and desires. The Miami Vice theme called for an event that combined tropical vibes with 1980s glam.

We discussed the client’s desired ambience, essential elements, and specific preferences for the party. Understanding our client’s expectations helped us tailor the event to meet their needs while maintaining the theme’s authenticity.

Venue Selection and Decoration

Choosing the right venue was crucial. We selected locations with ample indoor and outdoor space that were blank canvases.

After evaluating several options, we chose One Marylebone, which offered a blend of indoor and outdoor areas perfect for lounging and dancing.

The event design aimed to capture the essence of Miami Vice. We incorporated neon lights, pastel colours, palm trees, and sleek, modern furniture.

The venue was adorned with neon signs and tropical flowers. We created lounge areas with white leather sofas and mirror-top tables, enhancing the chic 1980s Miami vibe.

Entertainment and Activities

Entertainment was vital to bringing the Miami Vice theme to life. We booked a professional event DJ known for spinning 1980s hits, ensuring that the music and guests on the dance floor kept the energy high.

We also hired professional dancers dressed in 1980s attire to perform and engage with the crowd.

To enhance the theme, we arranged several activities, including:

• Classic photobooth: Props from the 1980s allowed guests to dress up for photo opportunities.
• Casino games: Blackjack and poker tables with professional dealers, adding an element of sophistication.
• 1980s arcade games: Everyone loved playing games such as PacMan, Space Invaders & Rally X.

Catering and Beverages

The catering menu reflected Miami’s diverse cuisine, featuring Cuban, Caribbean, and seafood dishes. We partnered with a catering company experienced in these cuisines to create a delicious and authentic menu.

Signature cocktails like Mojitos, Piña Coladas, and Daiquiris were served, with bartenders dressed in 1980s fashion.

We also set up tropical fruit stations and ice cream carts to refresh guests throughout the event.

Staff and Logistics

Logistics were managed to ensure a seamless event. Our team coordinated with the venue and vendors to oversee setup, event flow, and teardown.

We provided a detailed event timeline and assigned roles to staff members to ensure efficient management. Staff, including servers and bartenders, were dressed in thematic attire, enhancing the immersive experience.

Final Touches and Execution

On the event day, our team, under the creative direction of event producer Kwame Knight, arrived early to oversee final preparations.

We ensured the stage, lighting, and sound equipment were set up and conducted final checks with the entertainment and catering teams.

As guests arrived, our staff welcomed them and immediately immersed them in the vibrant, stylish world of Miami Vice.

Our team managed every element throughout the event, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience for the client and their guests.

The party was a resounding success. Guests revelled in the unique, energetic atmosphere, and the client praised our attention to detail and professionalism.

Conclusion

We created a captivating Miami Vice-themed corporate summer party that exceeded expectations by providing complete event planning and management services.

From the initial concept to the final execution, every detail was thoroughly planned, resulting in an unforgettable celebration that transported guests to the glamorous world of 1980s Miami.
