Every event we produce is a private function, so client names stay off this page. Everything else — the brief, the numbers, the decisions and what they produced — is real, and shared with each client's permission.
Corporate Casino Night
120-guest client reception, tech sector
CityAuckland
Guests120
Tables7 hosted
Host team9
Duration6 hours
The brief
A fast-growing software company wanted a client reception that would stand apart from the standard canapés-and-keynote circuit, without feeling gimmicky in front of enterprise customers.
What we did
Seven hosted table stations arranged in a horseshoe around a central lounge, with roulette as the social anchor. Chips carried the client's logo on one face and the event date on the other. Hosted sessions were split around a short product address, and the leaderboard doubled as a conversation engine between the client's team and their guests.
The outcome
The programme held an elegant social rhythm from door to trophy. The branded chip sets were requested as keepsakes by more than half the guests, and the client's follow-up survey rated the evening 4.8 out of 5.
VIP Evening
Partner dinner for a professional services firm
CityWellington
Guests44
Tables3 hosted
Host team5 + concierge
Duration5 hours
The brief
A firm marking its twentieth year wanted a partners' dinner with a difference — formal enough for senior guests, engaging enough that people would still be talking at midnight.
What we did
Three tables with premium finishes in a heritage venue's library room. Table sessions were deliberately unhurried: a dedicated concierge managed arrivals, and hosts ran conversational, slow-paced rounds between dinner courses. Printed table cards carried the firm's original 2006 letterhead as a design motif.
The outcome
The pacing worked exactly as designed — the room self-organised around the tables after dessert, and the final count ran forty minutes late because nobody wanted to stop. The firm has since booked two further evenings for client entertainment.
Private Party
A 40th birthday in a rented hillside villa
CityAuckland (Waiheke)
Guests36
Tables2 hosted
Host team3
Duration4 hours
The brief
A surprise 40th, planned by the guest of honour's partner, in a rented villa with a terrace, a narrow staircase, and no lift. The guest list mixed close family with old university friends — three generations, most of whom had never touched a poker chip.
What we did
Two compact tables, carried up in sections and rebuilt on the terrace before guests arrived. Hosts opened with a five-minute crash course pitched at total beginners, and ran a two-team format so the generations mixed instead of clustering. The birthday guest's face was printed on the highest-value chip — a detail that got the biggest laugh of the night.
The outcome
Four hours of table time with an age range of 19 to 74 at the felt. The client's note afterwards: “my mother-in-law is still talking about blackjack.”
Team Building
Conference-closing rotation for a national retailer
CityHamilton
Guests96
Tables6 hosted
Host team8
Duration3 hours
The brief
Close a two-day national conference with something that would push store managers from different regions to actually meet each other — not retreat into regional cliques at the bar.
What we did
Twelve squads of eight, deliberately mixed across regions, rotating through six tables on a twenty-minute circuit. Group scoring pooled each squad's chips, so the leaderboard rewarded coordination over individual streaks. Hosts acted as facilitators with a quiet brief: keep the quietest squad member in the game.
The outcome
Every squad completed the full circuit, and the closing stat came down to the final rotation. The client's people team measured a visible lift in cross-region introductions — their stated goal — and rebooked the format for the following year's conference before the tables were packed down.
Mobile Table Rental
Two tables inside a product launch
CityChristchurch
Guests180 (event total)
Tables2 + supervisor
Host team3
Duration4 hours
The brief
An agency producing a beverage launch wanted two hosted tables as one zone within a larger event they were running themselves — our tables, their show.
What we did
A pure rental engagement: one roulette and one blackjack table, delivered and dressed to match the launch's visual identity, with hosts briefed on the agency's run sheet rather than ours. The chip design used the product's launch colourway, signed off by the brand team from a proof we supplied within 48 hours.
The outcome
The table zone held a consistent queue-free crowd for all four hours and featured in most of the event's social coverage. The agency has since added our tables to two further productions — the quiet compliment we value most.
