Themed Events Galore

So after a very busy first week of December here there and everywhere, the second week and into the third was set to be even busier with a mass of themed events mainly in the South of England. 

We packed up the vans on Wednesday morning and set off super early so we could be at Sandown Park Racecourse and begin to get the room ready for an afternoon Christmas Party, Vegas style.  They didn't want lots of over the top props as there wasn't a great deal of space once the 300 guests were to be seated.  300 guests meant 300 chair covers and bows....phew!! Alongside the linen, we put in our fabulous Martini Glass table centres, complete with red feather boa (looks great for Moulin Rouge too!), casino tables and lined the room in black star cloth.  It looked brilliant (and very festive!)

On Thursday we were back in the South, in Buckinghamshire, with a 'Strictly Christmas' themed party.  Our brand new mirror ball table centres made their first appearance and wowed the second they came out of their boxes! Scattering light all round the room and a perfect compliment to the black and silver linen the table centres made for a very glitzty affair!  We uplit the main room and fairy lights were attached to the rafters.  Our giant glitter ball prop was a great photo opportunity and the night went very well indeed!

Friday was back to Winter Wonderland in Central London, with 280 white and silver chair covers, fabulous table centres and lighting effects to dazzle. Our grand Ice Palace stood pride of place on the stage and the DJ rocked the music, having guests up dancing all night long.

Slotted in amongst these large themed events, we have been croupiering our little socks off with casinos in Hull, Sheffield, London, Manchester and Birmingham to name a few! 

2012 is just around the corner and we can't wait to be a part of many more fantastic events throughout the UK and further afield.  Follow us on twitter @steelcitypromo or visit our facebook page for lots of pictures and updates. Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a fabulous 2012!

Lots to talk about...........

It's been a while since we updated all you lovely people on the happenings at Steel City Promotions so here's an overview of the last two weeks.

The first weekend in December saw us take some casino tables and some Las Vegas theming to a bar in Sheffield for an exclusive Christmas Party for Sky.  We rounded up our Feather Showgirls for the meet and greet and kicked off December with a bang!  Over the weekend we also had a Masquerade Ball complete with Stilt Walkers and a 007 themed party in Lincoln along with several smaller Casino events which always go down well.

Later on in the week and into the weekend just gone, we have been up in Glasgow (and almost got blown away in the 'Hurricane' that hit) with our fantastic Pirate theming. Large Parrots, Hanging Pirates, Chests filled with treasure for the table centres and a rather fitting Beach Hut were among the many props that filled the two large vans that were needed for the event.  We also had a team of three head off to London for two days to complete four events from Wild West to Hollywood and everything in between.  
A large annual casino for Wilkinsons was a huge success and a Moulin Rouge themed casino complete with Showgirls wowed at Manchester Central.  

Our Ice Palace made its second appearance this weekend down in Daventry and the client was over the moon with how the room looked.  A team were also in Colchester with a Fire and Ice theme for the military Christmas party which was a great success.


Many an event complete, lots more work to do.  Hannah is currently finishing off the bases for our Mirror Ball Table Centres, Matt is sorting out the Warehouse and we're all prepping for the week ahead's events.  We're down south from Wednesday to Friday doing a Las Vegas event in Surrey, a Strictly themed event in Buckinghamshire and a Winter Wonderland in London.  It's al go go go with many a casino thrown in the mix between now and Saturday.

Another busy week ahead so follow us on twitter @steelcitypromo or check out our facebook page for lots of photos and exciting news!
