Case Study for 40th Birthday Party

CHALLENGE: To create a joint 40^th birthday party entertainment experience that will suit a range of ages, both male and female. It also needs to be interactive and an unforgettable experience for everyone invited, from the guest of honour right through to the guests.

BUDGET: Top Secret

BACKGROUND: Kelly and Spiro’s joint 40^th birthday party was drawing closer. The date was set, venue had been booked at Royal Brighton Yacht Club, Melbourne and invitations had been sent. The main thing that was left to do was to organise the entertainment for the 120+ guests attending. But what were the options? What could Kelly arrange that would involve and engage all of the guests – men and women – regardless of their age? And more importantly, what kind of entertainment could she book and then not have to worry about? The last thing Kelly needed was to get involved in all of the details of whatever entertainment she booked. Once it was booked, she wanted to focus her energies on the rest of the arrangements and not have to think about the entertainment.

SOLUTION: Kelly phoned Blackjack Knights a few months before the party looking for more information on fun casino nights. Kelly had heard of the concept before but had never attended a casino night. However with the location being the Royal Brighton Yacht club and a joint 40th birthday such a big occasion, a casino night seemed the perfect excuse to make the party a Black Tie event and get everyone to dress up. Blackjack Knights provided a quote for a full service package of casino tables and a casino manager to run the event. The quote included the ever popular blackjack and poker tables as well as a roulette wheel and theming, but that wasn’t all. As well as the casino tables, 3 hours of tournament style play, black-tie professional croupiers at each table we also included all the set up and break down costs. Basically, it contained everything that Kelly needed to ensure maximum entertainment for minimum fuss. Blackjack Knights even provided fun money customised with the guest of honour and an inscribed trophy for the overall casino winner on the evening. Once the casino was booked, it meant that Kelly no longer had to worry about the entertainment but could instead focus on the many other details involved in organising a fantastic 40^th birthday party.

RESULT: Kelly was extremely impressed how their whole joint 40th birthday party was run. Getting her friends and relatives to mix together and have something to keep them entertained was a big priority, and this was achieved with the casino tables.

Spiro and Kelly’s feedback form (100% satisfaction) sums up the result perfectly.

“Overall was fantastic, definitely will seek your services at future events."
