Transforming a public museum into a lavish private event may sound daunting, but our team at NYX Entertainment made it happen. Our client, a forward-thinking company, was looking for help producing an extravagant corporate cocktail hour and gala reception inspired by the movie Night at the Museum. They had a bold vision but needed expert guidance on how to bring it to life while keeping it corporate-friendly, immersive, and unforgettable.
The challenge was multi-layered. Our client wanted a unique theme that incorporated the magic of the movie while curating music that connected to both the “heart” theme and a Beatles Tribute band. Safety and accessibility were top priorities, especially since a horse was escorting guests to the entrance, and African dancers needed a visually impactful 60-foot-high stage with complete safety measures. All of this had to be executed in a public museum space with only a two-hour setup window, all while showcasing the client’s brand and sticking to the theme.
Creative Event Production Solutions by NYX Entertainment
To meet these challenges, we implemented a comprehensive and creative solution. We provided NYX Live: a hybrid band experience that blended a live DJ with live musicians, ensuring music kept the energy high and matched the theme. Our team designed high-quality audio and striking visuals to set the perfect mood for the evening.
Actors were hired to play iconic characters including Sacajawea, Attila the Hun, and Teddy Roosevelt on his horse, engaging guests and enhancing the immersive experience. We brought our full NYX Entertainment team on-site to oversee every detail, guaranteeing the event would run flawlessly from start to finish. Safety measures were paramount, with dancers secured via harnesses connected to hidden spotters and a stunt rider expertly managing the horse on the entrance carpet. Roller girls dressed in the client’s colors and branded logos added a final layer of visual excitement.
Extraordinary Results That Elevated the Gala
The results were extraordinary. Guests experienced a seamless and electrifying corporate gala that combined live music, DJ sets, audiovisual effects, and live performances to create a truly immersive event. The mix of entertainment kept guests dancing and holding their breath eagerly anticipating each new act, while the actors mingled with attendees and performed skits that elicited delightful reactions from the crowd. Feedback from the evening was overwhelmingly positive, reflecting the client’s elevated brand image and creating lasting memories for all who attended.
