Bond University Events
Centre welcomed 190 guests
from Pitcher Partners for
their Business Recovery and
Insolvency Conference Gala
Dinner. The theme was “Behind
the Mask”, with the Bond
gardens. Arrival drinks and
canapes outside near the
sundial were followed by
a stunning dinner venue
situated in the Architecture
Building, where the culinary
team delivered a two-course
plated dinner.
The remarkable
Architecture Building was
the ideal venue for such
an innovative event which
pushed boundaries in this
unique space. The great hall
of the venue was lit utilising
the high ceilings and curved
internal walls to their best
advantage. A long wooden table
that stretched over 34m down
the centre of the hall added the
“wow” factor. Solution RED
dressed the table with towers
of teal and blue ostrich feathers
and gold masks to tie in with the
Masquerade theme.
manager – QLD Solution RED.
“The goal was then finding
the perfect balance between
highlighting the event location’s
architectural features, and
designing the elements to
complement the theme.”
In each of the four alcoves
there were performing artists
– crystal balls, juggler, hula
hoop artist and a cape dancer.
The highlight act was a
roving flamenco guitarist who
entertained the guests.
Toni Borthwick, director,
relationships + brand at Pitcher
Partners, said the team at Bond
University and Solution RED
worked together “to produce
an incredible event which truly
encapsulated our ‘behind the
mask’ theme”.
“The Abedian School of
Architecture building at
Bond University provided the
ultimate canvas to create a
stunning and memorable dining
setting,” said Jodie Hunter–
Smith, project development
“From the moment our guests
stepped off the coach, they
were mesmerised by the visual
spectacular and embarked on a
journey where they were never
sure what would be waiting for
them around the corner.”
