Annual dinner and awards night for a telecom operator
600Covers served
Overview
A seated dinner and awards ceremony for 600 staff and their guests, combining a formal awards segment with a full-service dinner and after-dinner entertainment.
The brief
The brief called for an evening that felt celebratory rather than corporate, with the awards segment kept under 40 minutes so it didn't dominate the night.

Execution
Keeping the awards segment to 40 minutes against 22 categories meant scripting hard exits for each category and briefing presenters on strict timing. The segment ran at 38 minutes on the night.
Plated service for 600 covers in a 45-minute window required staggering table service in a sequenced pattern the kitchen and floor team rehearsed the afternoon before, rather than serving front-to-back.
