Galas have always been about glamour, connection and celebration - but in today’s event landscape, guests are expecting more than just a three-course meal and speeches. They’re looking for an experience. One that’s immersive, memorable, and feels tailor-made from the moment they arrive to the final toast of the night.
At Connected Event Group, we help clients take their galas to the next level with creative production, strategic AV, and the kind of attention to detail that makes every moment shine. Here’s how you can do the same.
The experience starts at the entrance. Think beyond a basic welcome sign - set the tone with custom LED arches, projection mapping, digital registration kiosks, or a live performance at the entryway. Use lighting and sound to build anticipation before guests even enter the main space.

Your event design should do more than look good - it should transport your guests. Consider using LED walls or projection screens to transform the room with animated backdrops, moving visuals, or dynamic content that changes throughout the night. Pair this with atmospheric lighting and ambient audio to make the entire room feel like part of the narrative.
From live bands and keynote speakers to awards presentations and auctions, AV plays a critical role in tying everything together. Professionally mixed sound, tailored lighting cues, and perfectly timed visuals can elevate every on-stage moment - turning standard program elements into highlights of the evening.
Add interactive elements that allow guests to be part of the experience. AI-powered photobooths, social walls, or personalised digital messages displayed on LED screens can bring a modern touch while encouraging engagement and content sharing.
The stage is often the focal point of your gala. Use creative stage design, custom lightboxes, branded backdrops or digital lecterns to give it a polished and professional feel. For more impact, consider integrating LED screens into the set to display speaker intros, sponsor recognition or live camera feeds of the action.
Great galas are built on strong fundamentals - seamless transitions, crisp audio, well-lit presenters and on-site technical support. Our team ensures that every detail is executed to the highest standard so that your program runs smoothly and your guests stay immersed in the experience.
Whether you're planning a corporate awards night, a fundraising gala or a black-tie celebration, our team is here to help you think bigger and deliver something extraordinary.
