LUX July 2017

LUX - July 2017 29 And Now for Something Totally Different event planning experience and the stunning events we create. Our team of experienced event planners and creative designers work alongside clients to create unique experiences. “From product launches and brand experiences to senior client engagement and sales events, Snapdragon are experts at planning bespoke corporate and brand events. Our committed and experienced team, most of whom have worked inside large blue chip organisations or with luxury brands, will ensure your corporate event delivers a measurable return on investment and enhances brand loyalty. The team have worked for an impressive and diverse client list. In each case, clients selected us for the combination of creativity, a reputation for flawless delivery and commercial experience. We are not your usual fluffies. “Our clients are usually in demanding roles and want a creative event partner who can deliver real impact without causing them additional work. Planning an event experience to achieve a measurable return on investment and that builds brand loyalty requires deep and wide experience working with and for corporate clients. All of the firm’s directors have worked in marketing roles inside large blue chip organisations and intimately understand how to deliver results in a very diverse range of industry sectors.” Snapdragon works through the entire lifecycle from campaign development, through conceptualision to planning and delivery Julia reveals. She goes on to develop this interesting point, in her own words and just how her team will cater for your every need. “We have created events all over the world and are often engaged by multi-national companies to deliver a series of events in multiple locations. Our in-house team includes creative designers, event producers, sourcing specialists and set builders, who between them produce and manage corporate events and experiential campaigns that enhance brands. “Snapdragon are experts in luxury event planning with years of experience with corporate events. Our team will cater for every detail of your brand experience, including: invitations, venue selection, catering, gift bags and any audio-visual production requirements that you may require. We can also manage the end to end guest experience around your event.” Julia then explains that Snapdragon’s luxury children’s parties are amazing extravaganzas, a point which she is eager to share with us. “As London’s premier event planners, clients book us for the very best, high end parties. We go out of our way to find the latest and best entertainers and to create unique parties that will not be copied. “Each luxury children’s party is a bespoke event, which often involves set building as well as themed catering and entertainment. Our children’s party planners design your child’s event down to the last detail, keeping all the guests entertained all day with a high tempo spectacle. We also plan parallel activities for the adults so that they can also enjoy the party. “Snapdragon’s luxury children’s party planners will re-imagine fashionable themes from your child’s favourite movie or book. Their creativity and skill at finding never before seen touches will make your child’s party memorable for years to come. So, whether you would like an Alice in Wonderland party at home, a pirate party on a real ship or to recreate the Moulin Rouge in an iconic London space, challenge us to make magic happen.” Destination wedding Snapdragon are also highly experienced international event and destination wedding planners. They have crafted spectacular events around the world, sometimes in the most remote places, Julia reveals. Julia explains how the firm approaches this aspect of their work. “Often, infrastructure must be imported from the UK or elsewhere, as local event resources are limited or not of a high quality. Snapdragon are adept at judging how to blend local and international suppliers so that the result is seamless. “Our destination wedding and party planners understand the complex logistic challenges of delivering world class levels of service in remote locations from Morocco to Nigeria and tiny Greek Islands. We have been able to find and transform the most unlikely locations into stunning event venues. For many clients, the attraction of an international event is the ability to create something completely unique that will never be copied. “As important as the event itself is the guest experience; this often takes as much effort to do well as delivering the event. Ensuring that a guest feels looked after for the whole time in your chosen location is key to the impression your event will leave them with. “Apart from sourcing appropriate accommodation, Snapdragon have chartered large and small aircraft, operated a comprehensive ground transportation fleet and provided a multi-lingual concierge team capable of dealing with anything a guest may desire while at your event. Privacy is often a concern for our high-profile clients, and we routinely establish a comprehensive and discrete security curtain around an event, including deploying anti-drone solutions to ensure confidentiality.” Bar & Bat Mitzvah A Bar Mitzvah or Bat Mitzvah is an important milestone and cause for celebration for the person, their family and friends. Where does Snapdragon step in when it comes to such a celebration? Julia concludes this upbeat interview by providing the answer to this question. “Every Snapdragon event is tailored to you, so we ensure that your Bar/Bat Mitzvah party is unlike any your guests have been to before. Whatever the interests of the Bar or Bat Mitzvah, Snapdragon can create very elaborate themed Bat/Bar Mitzvah parties, with themes ranging from classic movies, to favourite musicians, apres ski to Star Wars or a Narnia fantasy. “Clients select us because they want something different for their child’s bar or bat mitzvah. There are a few event planners who deliver many Bar Mitzvah/ Bat Mitzvah and are well known to the London Jewish community. If you want something a little different, or don’t want the usual formula applied to your Bar or Bat Mitzvah, then please contact us. It’s the best way to ensure you get something genuinely different.”
