Fireworks Extravaganza!
On Australia Day we produced an event for a large international company who thank their clients in the best way possible – with THE best view of the skyshow! The WA Rowing Club on Barrack Street Jetty in Perth is transformed every year with a floating pontoon over the river to allow guests to be right under the fireworks. 200 adults and 80 children enjoyed a night of great food, brilliant entertainment for the kids with a full pirates theme, and of course the Skyshow!
A Night of Illusion
On Saturday 24th October the Burswood Grand Ballroom was transformed to celebrate the annual HIA Perth Housing Awards. A Night of Illusion was the theme and guests were entertained by a roving magician during pre dinner drinks, were surprised when the MC Tina Alteri magically appeared at the start of the night, were blown away by the genius of Soul Mystique and their costume changes and danced to the wee hours to the legendary sounds of Mental as Anything!
The room looked stunning and sparkled with star cloths, beaded curtain backdrop, huge beaded chandeliers in the ceiling and matching chandelier centre pieces. Our LED Trees around the room tied the look together.
New Stock Arrived
We have purchased a whole range of new stock here at Phenomenon and it has all arrived over the last two weeks! Some of the items include : beaded curtains, chandelier centrepieces, cute elephant and kangaroo statues, a great skeleton pirate statue and gold award statues!
Please call us if you would like prices to hire any of these for your next event or staff Christmas Party!

Winter Wonderland at Challenge Stadium
On Saturday 23rd May we transformed the main arena at Challenge Stadium into a winter wonderland spectacular for Ernst and Young’s annual dinner.
Guests entered the room through the giant wardrobe filled with fur lined coats and wandered through fake snow and fog to be greeted by a white winter witch.
A live ice carving performance with a chain saw and beautiful light up trees and centre pieces set the scene for a great night.
Impressive costumes showed that this company possesses many brilliant minds!!

Breast Cancer Foundation of WA
Phenomenon was proud to take part in the Breast Cancer Foundation of WA’s “Celebration of Women – Long Table Lunch” on Sunday the 19th April at the Claremont Showgrounds.
This annual local fundraising event honours a woman and her family that have been affected by breast cancer. This year Flo Starcevich and her family were honoured. The event raised over $100,000 thanks to many generous donations and a huge range of raffle prizes.

Parrot on the loose!
Every wonder what happens to those props that go missing at parties? We do, as it happens all the time! We were pleasantly surprised this morning though when we were sent an email with photo’s of our Pirate Parrot on a Broome to Melbourne Road Trip! Those of you that have used our Pirate’s set would remember him fondly. He has been missing for over twelve months so we were pleased to hear he has been having a jolly time. He is expected back from long service leave sometime in May. This pic is from when he visited the Great Australian Bite. Can’t wait to hear his stories… hang on, “what goes on tour stays on tour” he said. Oh well!
Function Picks Up “Charity Event of the Year” Award
In January 2007, Phenomenon Event Services were commisioned by Paula Leishman and Associates to design and build the set and props to blow away the audience. After nine months of intense designing, consultation and building, the Hogwarts Hall set was alive and full of surprises for the guests at The Burswood Ballroom in Perth.
A giant 6m high firesplace presided over the rear of the room while hundreds of candles appeared magically suspended above the dancefloor. Living portriats and gargoyles with flames coming from their mouths all added to the mystery!
The dinner was on behalf of Choice Aggregation Services, raising funds for the Make a Wish Foundation.
Awarded in July this year, the Award was judged by an independent panel and from the ten categories available, the E-Connect Charity Event of the Year was the last one to be announced. In this category there were two winners, equal in the score we received, we are proud to share this award with the National Breast Cancer Pink Awareness Campaign. Given the high national profile of that event, we are incredibly pleased to share their company.

ACEA National Awards 2008
The Association of Consulting Engineers Australia celebrated its national Awards for Excellence in Perth at PCEC this year with a Bond theme for the night.
Real Aston Martin cars, giant martini glasses, large illuminated bond props and a golden entry feature set the scene for the night.
The beautifully designed Beijing Water Cube took home the grand prize.
Phenomenon produced the entire event including all theming, AV, Sound and Lighting and the intensive awards program ran without a hitch.
