'Sisi’ Birthday
 & Anniversary Party
On the 7th of September the EMC3 team headed off to beautiful Austria to do their first event at the Imperial Palace Vienna. The theme of the party was ‘Sisi’ – in the thought of Elisabeth of Austria, who was the wife of Franz Joseph I and therefore both Empress of Austria and Queen of Hungary and who used to reside at the Imperial Palace.

 
Welcomed by Esterhazy footmen and men on horses, the guests, all in fabulous costumes, made their way along the red carpet to the champagne and canapé reception, where the room was full of striking glass chandeliers hanging from the ceiling.
 
After moving to the elegantly decorated dining room and a two-course dinner was served with dessert in a buffet stand. After a few speeches the guests were treated to a great 3D projection mapping show, which highlighted the stunning interior of the room creating visual effects that made the walls come to life. This ended with some great music as the guests started to warm up for the after party.
 


Across the hall the DJ lured the guests to an impressive glass walled room, the Hofburg Galerie, where  chesterfield couches, a Moroccan inspired area, a dance floor with podiums and  various entertainment acts filled the interior of the room. In addition to the bar they had a vodka luge in the shape of a swan in flight which was extremely popular and the midnight snacks ended up being a welcomed treat.
 


Throughout the whole night about 100 entertainers including jugglers, imperial guards with guns, ballet dancers, stilt walkers, harpists, imperial artists, saxophonists and many more made sure that the guests were always well entertained.
   
 
 
 After a long, long night the EMC3 team spent their Sunday afternoon recovering in the folks’ park and at the thanksgiving festival enjoying the wonderful weather before heading back to rainy London.
 
 
Well done team – that was a spectacular event!

EMC3`s Summer Amplification @ BEAT London

  
We hosted our Summer Soiree for our seasonal amplification at BEAT London last Friday - 16th August.  The evening was enjoyed with close friends, family and clients on the sleepless streets of London’s secretly placed hip private late-night members club.  It was the perfect evening to unwind after a hectic week, meet new people and enjoy some classic “BEAT” styled music. 
 
 
In true EMC3 event style, Champagne was popping with flowing cocktails of Vodka, Lychee and Cranberry and delicious, mouth-watering canapés with the Yellow Fin Tuna and Spiced Lentil Salsa with Wild Rocket, Aged Balsamic and Crostin being an absolute favourite. 
 
Starting the evening in style (cough cough Ferrari arrival) we all woke up with slightly sore heads but that’s a sign of a good night right?!? 
 
 
We are planning many Christmas events now; BEAT is one of our many venues we can offer preferential rates not just in London but around the world, so contact us for a superior quality service if you’re planning an Event or Conference anytime soon!
 
 
A night to remember by the team…

At the end of our site visit at the Intercontinental Park Lane Hotel we relaxed in the Arch Bar enjoying champagne and a plethora of canapés including onion bhajis in mango sauce, chicken skewers in honey, lamb koftas in mint yogurt sauce, cheese cones with humus, rye on salmon with horseradish, carnation chicken on a crumb biscuit and a never ending trio of nibbles including sun dried vegetable crisps, rosemary cashew nuts, and green olives.

Overall we had a really great time at the InterContinental London Park Lane Hotel!
