2017 has been a memorable year for Story with some equally memorable events! From an event that the Queen attended to a Summer ball in Oxford, here are a few of our biggest events we’ve delivered this year.
National Army Museum
Let’s start at the very beginning, some say a very good place to start.
Rewinding to 9 months ago, Story had the pleasure of working with the National Army Museum to help re-launch their beautiful refurbished museum with three separate events that helped celebrate the achievements by internal and external staff, donors and everyone involved to bring the vision together. The first event saw the HRH Queen Elizabeth II attend for the official opening, followed by a second evening event for donors and key players. Finally, the third event was a celebration for all contractors and internal staff, to really let their hair down!
An incredible journey to be apart of.
Christchurch Summer Ball
Moving into the Summer and probably one of the hottest weeks Britain had this year, we stepped outside of London and into Oxford to deliver Christchurch College’s Summer ball. A beast of an event, which saw Story transform the four different spaces into the seasons, taking guests on a journey through Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter and lasted until 6am! Our incredible operations team absolutely smashed this one out of the park, delivering a seamless, high quality event for over 1500 students.
London Business School Graduation
Flash forward one month and we have another graduation on our hands, this time for London Business School where we took them to Guildhall for the first time. Guests were treated to a themed mash up of medieval / Harry Potter because why not! Think living statues, fighting knights, Judge the poet and a moving picture wall (a take on the talking paintings in the Harry Potter film).
This truly was a night to remember.
Waitrose Drinks Festival 2017
Following the success of last year’s Waitrose Drinks Festival, Story once again worked alongside Waitrose to deliver this event for the second year running. With a tricky load in through London Dungeons and Shrek exhibition, tight time constraints and quick turn arounds kept the Story team on their toes. Needless to say, the event was a great success with a wide range of Waitrose top suppliers exhibiting over the two floors at Etc. County Hall.
These are just a few of the events we’ve worked on this year, pulling together as a team to help get the job done and make sure we have some very happy clients on our hands.
