#letscreate ‘The 80’s’

One awesome 80’s theme party!

The Venue: Private – Marquee by T&L Marquees

The Event: Private

The Design:

The first item booked were two 8ft flame towers to the grand entrance! Working with the client we then booked and managed live actors and entertainers including Mr T (UKs number 1) as the doorman, a small person ‘A Team’ tribute to serve welcome drinks & fire poi flame dancers. The ‘A Team’ van was also positioned on the entrance which certainly got some attention! This combination made the perfect wow factor entrance giving desired initial impact and excitement for the guests on arrival.

The marquee by T&L marquees boasted wow factor carpet of Red, Green, Blue & Yellow! The carpet totally enhanced the marquee and gave the desired high impact first impression.

Following supper the big show started with a total black out & strobe lighting to the opening track by ‘Frankie Goes To Hollywood’! The stage shows, a complete surprise for the revellers, were wowed as the living legend, the one and only, Mr Keith Chegwin (WEY HEY!) took to the stage! Keith as a true pro wowed the crowd with his own legendary style totally engaging the audience delivering a show over and above expectations! Then, taking the role as host following his show, Chegger’s introduced two fabulous acts that followed including awesome shows by 80’s superstar Timmy Mallett & an outstanding Michael Jackson tribute supplied by Navi.

Our nightclub DJs took the helm late evening with an after party which continued until the very early hours!

What the client thought:

“Matt Potter believe me I am not one to dish out complements very often but that party was ‘OUTSTANDING’ if you require a testimonial or anything you just have to ask… you should see some of the text messages and comments from guests! JUST MEGA!…when can we do it all again!!!!” – Private client
