Louise Saxton from EMCBE explains: “We organise an annual awards evening to celebrate excellence in the building sector and have previously relied on Quiet Storm’s expertise in producing event materials and providing a full AV solution on the night. We had envisaged that our fourth annual awards ceremony would be organised in a similar way to previous years but, when we told Quiet Storm that we were holding it on a Friday, they suggested making it a themed Black Tie evening. We loved the idea.
"Communication with the team was great and their organisation on awards night was highly professional. They arranged a mini stage for the Master of Ceremonies in the reception area to create a focal point as guests arrived and entertainment was provided by a Swing/Rat Pack Band. Quiet Storm helped us take our awards night to another level. It was a great success.”
To ensure a smooth running event it is essential to plan and prepare meticulously. Quiet Storm presented suggestions on all aspects of the night and helped ensure every detail was covered.
Louise added: “They joined us for the initial site visit at the venue, advised us on staging and came up with a theme. The corridor leading to our designated function room was rather dark and uninspiring but Quiet Storm’s idea to decorate this area in the style of our chosen theme transformed it.
“Having organised this event before we knew what we needed regarding tickets, a programme and certificates. Quiet Storm developed our ideas and produced stunning looking materials in line with our theme. They did exactly what we expected – listened to what we wanted and then delivered fantastic results. We were very pleased with their attention to detail and how they led us smoothly through the project."
