Eighteenth Birthday Party

This party tent was colourful and exuberant. The main marquee was blacked out with a full starlight ceiling and colour wash lighting. Lots of glittery decorations enhanced the upbeat feel, very fitting for an 18th celebration.

The occasion was an 18th birthday party.

The venue was a largeish irregular garden on two levels with a wall and steps separating the levels.

The challenge was to create a lively party space incorporating dining and dancing for the teenagers and a smaller space for grown ups that was separate but still part of the main set up.

The solution: A 9m (30′) x 21m (70′) frame marquee that spanned the steps and levels of the garden. Eating took place on the upper level, dancing on the lower. An entrance porch marquee added interest. A second 4m (14′) x 6m (20′) frame marquee for the grown ups was set at right angles to the party tent with clear panoramic windows all along the front for a full view of the action.

The entrance tent was lit a vivid red and the garden – visible through panoramic windows – was lit up a bright green.

Later, a black and white dance floor, laser lighting and moving shape lights set the mood for some wild dancing.
