Debbie Marks of Qube Events gives us advice on how to throw the perfect Simcha event at home.
Thinking of throwing a party at home? It sounds simple – grab some delicious food, charming friends – add a dash of sparkling conversation and, voila! A party people rave about for ages. Except, it’s not quite that easy.
A fabulous celebration is a finely balanced recipe of ingredients, and when something is missing, guests get bored. That’s when you have a host’s nightmare; a room full of people who are glued to their phones and counting the seconds to leave. If you want to host a party where people get down and have fun, there are five must-have essentials to transform your home into a perfect party place…
Light Up Your Life
Mood lighting creates magic and can be crafted from all types of lights. However, the type of light you choose sets the tone for your party. What ambience do you want? Soft and mysterious? Nostalgic and retro? Or maybe you want a heart-pumping nightclub feel? Make an impact on arrival and light up the front of your house or add magic with lanterns and twinkly lights in bushes and foliage.
Raise the Bar
A ‘wow’-worthy party deserves drinks that make an impression, and a mobile cocktail bar dazzles! Transport your guests to a tiki bar in Hawaii for a fabulous garden party, a glitz and glam glitter bar or a swanky mirror bar for an elegant party. And if you want some extra glitz, add a mixologist to whip up some tasty drinks that are tailored for your party.
Chill Out
Nothing says, “let’s celebrate!” better than funky furniture you don’t see anywhere else. Perfect for outdoor soirees or indoor blowouts, LED light-up furniture sets a cool mood for any occasion. Waterproof, wireless and available in all colours for eight hours, our LED glow cubes, benches, and poseur tables transform any space into a seriously cool affair. For a more sophisticated, Ibiza-style white party, our range of white chesterfield and leatherette furniture is always a hit.
Let Me Entertain You
Although every party needs a great mix of tunes, a memorable celebration requires fantastic entertainment. We offer a massive selection of entertainment to fit every quirk and taste, from a green screen photobooth, artists, musicians to capture those moments with friends or glow-in-the-dark makeup artistry. Your guests won’t stop talking about the blast at your place!
Tents Affair
Planning an outdoor celebration? Take it to the next level with a gorgeous marquee in your back garden. Marquees and teepees are big, breath-taking tents that create an intimate outdoor space to mingle with guests, dance, or relax. Available in different styles and sizes, marquees elevate any party into an extraordinary event. Bell tents are also fab mini chill spaces for kids to have their own little den.
