This is a fantastic corporate event package for 250 guests, where the old tradition of a three course sit down meal and a disco at a local hotel is definitely not on the agenda!!
Our search for the requested ‘Country House’ venue was nationwide, until we found a privately owned property in the heart of the Worcestershire countryside. With its own river, stunning views across the nearby hills and ideal location near to the M5 this was to be our event site.
After sourcing a 5* hotel in nearby Birmingham for the guests accomodation we set about creating a memorable summer ball at the venue.
After a champagne reception at their hotel, guests were coached to the venue. After driving along the sweeping private roads of the country estate, and through Capability Brown designed gardens they arrived at the magnificent Croome court.
Greeted with another glass of bubbly guests could then wander through the huge house before coming to the double doors at rear of the property, that opened up into their party site.
Before them lay a fairground complete with dodgems and a giant ferris wheel, giving rides allowing guests to see over the whole country house and estate. We also had a hot air balloon giving guests breath taking flights over the whole venue.
The main marquee lay at the steps of the giant stone steps leading down from the back of the court. White picket fencing and a red carpet entrance enticed guests in to take their seats for a full three course meal.
After the meal an interactive quiz was held,with guests jumping up and down and rolling about in laughter as spoofs of classic TV quiz shows were played with the guests.
One of our bespoke cocktail bars was positioned in the corner of the marquee, with flairing cocktail staff serving from a list of themed cocktails. Guests could also visit the casino room attached to the side of the main marquee.
At 10.30 pm, after a good meal, entertainment, the fairground, casino and hot air balloon guests were treated to a cat 4 professional firework display.
They were then ushered back inside the marquee for a live 7 piece boogie band on stage.
From 11pm – 2am rolling coaches meant that guests could return to their 5* hotel whenever they wanted to, allowing older guests to leave earlier then the more rowdy young guests who danced all the way until 2am!
We had so many lovely comments about this, and as it was a surprise for its guests 100 of them did not show up as they thought it would be the same old traditional office party! We hope next year they will have learned their lesson and will come and enjoy a evening of absolute luxury and entertainment, set in the decadent surroundings of Croome Court.
