5 events, 600 attendees, 100s of hands

For ten days we were part of a large incentive trip and supported 5 events, ranging from an intimate dinner, to ‘leave it all on the dance floor’ extravaganza. Huge thanks to the other companies that joined forces with us, from florists to sound and lighting experts traditional Balinese decor crews, photographers, calligraphers, weavers, furniture rental experts and more.

Below are 5 of our favorite photos and moments.

1// A chance to design on water: we created an evening surrounded by water at the Kempinksi Chapel and brought in denizens of lily ponds, including dragonflies and geese in flight. We had to battle the elements to make this one happen. Woven by Udianata. Photo by Arley Mardo.

2// Twin Dragons: Handwoven and peched on the edge of a cliff to guard over attendees. Why hold an event in Bali if not to work with the crazy skillfull craftspeople and culture of this island? Creations by Raka Dalem Bernat and Sri Melanting, hand-woven from leaves in the style of Balinese decor for ceremonies and events. Photo by Arley Mardo.

3// A black and gold art deco meets Bali tablescape: A chance to work again with Cosa Projects and to incorporate Balinese offering baskets, cloth and hair ornaments. Shout out to The Host Table for their tableware choices and amazing set up.

4// Lighting perfection: working with our favorite team of Focus Productions again to light every event perfectly, including this secret corner of a ballroom we revealed during dessert for a dance party, speakeasy style! And of course draping and curtain opening mechanics by The Host Table made it all possible. Backdrop by Sri Melanting.

5// A Balinese village by the seaside: we brought pieces of Bali to a welcome reception on the Kempinski lawn, including the photo backdrop featuring wayang (shadow puppet) chickens in traditional cages and Balinese floral motifs. Created by Sri Melanting.

The incredible skills used to make these pieces of art can only be appreciated when you see the process behind the creations. Below is short video featuring some of the behind-the-scenes footage during the 5 month long lead up to these events. Shot at Udyana Studio in Ubud, Bali.
