The concept was developed by Adam Blackwood from Private Drama, Sara Binns from The Admirable Crichton, Norman Muller from the Royal Courts of Justice and White Light's Richard Wilson. "The quality and power of the services we all offer - particularly lighting - can be hard to communicate on paper, in conversation or in photographs. The events we supply always let our work speak for itself, so what better way to showcase what we can do than in an event for events people?" Wilson explains.

Those attending the event - including guests from Barclays, HSBC, Christie's Special Events Department and Calvin Klein PR - were treated to a fifteen minute medley of entertainment, ranging from "Fanfare for the Common Man" to opera and jazz singers, stilt walkers, acrobats and trapeze artists, organised by Private Drama; The Admirable Crichton supplied an amazing selection of canapés, cocktails and wines served by a mixture of smartly dressed and exotically dressed staff. Tying all of this together within the spectacular Royal Courts of Justice and its cathedral-like Great Hall was White Light's lighting, designed by Jason Larcombe.

"The building accepts light beautifully," Larcombe comments. "The drama was created from the moment the guests entered, using vivid colours and flambeaux units to create an anticipation of the event beyond. We then took the guests on a journey - they entered passing over a carpet of stars, and finally arrived in the destination of the Great Hall which stretched beyond them in full colour and glory, the lighting created to harmonise with the architecture rather than breaking away from its traditional and majestic appearance, and individually treating the dramatic zones, including a Food Forest, created by The Admirable Crichton."

Larcombe made use of the extensive range of lighting equipment stocked by White Light, with the evening marking the debut of White Light's Battery Powered Uplighters which dramatically reduced installation time; Larcombe also used colour-changing LED fittings to dress the building's architecture, and automated lighting to project patterns and colour, light the aerial artists and, as Larcombe explains, "to control the temperature and dynamic of the room instantaneously - meaning that the theatrical performance was not restricted to the stage but could immerse all of the guests in the characters and situations presented to them."

White Light's team on the show included Project Manager Simon Jones, who worked with Philip Pleydell-Pearce, Head of International Party Design, and his staff of 90 from The Admirable Crichton and Louise Fisher from Private Drama. Supporting the project's leaders were The Big Badge Company, Sound by Design who provided the audio for the evening, Robin Honey who supplied the flowers, photographer Louise Stickland, and Futura Interactive, who designed the invitations.

"The guests seemed to have a fantastic time," comments White Light's Richard Wilson, "and we have received very positive feedback. We think this 'event for events people' - perhaps the toughest audience of all! - has been an enormous success, and White Light and all of the other companies involved look forward to helping our guests with events of their own."
