FAQ
Your questions, answered.
How do you organise a corporate gala in Paris?
Starting from the date and the guest count. Ideally the venue is booked four to six months ahead, earlier still for a Thursday or Friday in December. Production then starts three months ahead: brief, atmosphere and, if needed, venue selection, then concept, floor plan and firm budget two months ahead, set fabrication and entertainment six weeks ahead, running order, menus and seating plan two weeks ahead. On the day we build, light and rehearse; breakdown happens overnight. Our guide to planning a corporate party in Paris covers venues and suppliers.
What budget per guest for a corporate gala in Paris?
Excluding venue hire, allow €120 to €700 excl. VAT per guest depending on the finish: simple scenography and standard technical production at Premium, custom sets, stage and LED screens at Prestige, a full show and immersive features at Iconic. Our projects start at around €15k excl. VAT. For 200 guests at Prestige, the starting setting of the estimator on this page, allow €52k to €84k excl. VAT, including the €8,000 project fee, excluding catering (around €95 per guest as an option) and before any industry uplift. Change the guest count or the finish to get your own range in one minute.
How many guests can you host at a gala?
From 50 to 3,000. For a gala, the seated dinner sets the capacity: a room always holds fewer guests seated than standing, so ask each venue for its dinner capacity. Below 100 guests, the €15k minimum weighs more per person; above 1,000, welcome, security and show control call for a dedicated study.
Is a corporate gala in December still possible?
Often, yes, but the venue decides. Thursdays and Fridays in December go first: a Monday to Wednesday evening, or a venue already equipped with sound and lighting, widens the choice. The closer the date, the more the gala relies on the venue, lighting and entertainment rather than on sets built in our workshop. If December is fully booked, an early-year gala, as a New Year event, can be prepared without the rush.
Do you find the venue for the evening?
Yes: we suggest venues in Paris and across France to match your guest count, style and budget (historic salons, industrial spaces, rooftops, river boats…), then manage all on-site logistics.
Do you handle catering and entertainment?
We select and coordinate caterers, musicians, DJs and performers with you, and build them into the running order of the evening. You have one point of contact.
Can you organise an evening during a trade show?
It is common: a client evening next to your stand or at a venue in town, during VivaTech, the Paris Air Show or MIPIM. We coordinate the stand and the evening together.
