Dear ,

Whilst the Winter chill is currently upon us, we would like to share some highlights from our work and team updates since Summer. 

From hospitality activations for cricket to tennis and polo to horseracing, along with a multitude of conference and corporate parties, Event Planet has been busier than ever producing events for our wonderful clients and their special guests. 

Looking forward to what's next, we are actively planning End of Year Celebrations, Melbourne Cup parties and more for the second half of 2015. If you would like some help to get your Christmas Party organised, don't hesitate to contact our team - to make your event the best yet!  

Best wishes,

The Event Planet Team

Event Planet launched the Summer season in style with Land Rover Australia's sponsorship marquee at the Waterford Crystal Polo in the City tournament. We created a bespoke English Country Polo Garden complete with a timber gazebo, lush turf, climbing ivy and roses and a fabulously fun media wall complete with polo sticks and wooden hobby horses as props. VIP guests were treated to a delectable canape menu and charcuterie station, Pol Roger champagne and Pimm's cocktails served in crystal goblets. Click here for a sneak peak.

Event Planet started the year on a high, producing a star-studded Moët et Chandon Tribute Event for Roger Federer in the Chairman’s Villa at Crown. The special occasion celebrated the ‘Living Legend’ and some of his most memorable tennis milestones. Guests were treated to an intimate Grand Vintage Champagne journey matched with a custom-design canapé menu designed by renowned Melbourne chef, John Lawson. The entertainment highlight of the night was a Q&A interview hosted by Catriona Rowntree. Click here to view photos.

Event Planet’s Managing Director, Amy Merriman, recently packed her suitcase and went back to school to study at Harvard Business School. The week-long Executive Education Program 'Leading Professional Service Firms' was a brilliant opportunity for Amy to learn from some of the best lecturers in the world, in a truly international classroom with leaders from a multitude of other service-based agencies and businesses. Since Amy's return we've been busy implementing new operational techniques and launching new innovations to continue to improve and grow for the future.
