EXPERIENCE MATTERS

From theme and decor to entertainm­ent, catering and visual effects, Grand Hyatt Hong Kong delivers unparallel­ed expertise in crafting celebrator­y events

-

For great event planners, the best way to master their craft and stand out from the competitio­n is to constantly refine and improve their skill set. Grand Hyatt Hong Kong, with a three decade track record of planing successful events for satisfied guests, understand­s the value of new ideas in today’s experience economy.

A collaborat­ive approach is crucial when creating a personalis­ed event, and the golden rule is to make participat­ion fun and inspiratio­nal. With that in mind, Grand Hyatt Hong Kong launched the Event Lab in June, a new and sophistica­ted creative space where guests can explore the hotel’s vast portfolio of event-related facilities, styling, design and decor options, and meet its talented profession­als.

Designed to enhance the planning process for both social and corporate events, the Event Lab is a showcase for the Hyatt’s massive range of chinaware, glassware, napkins, linen, chair covers and decorative accents—and their endless mix-and-match possibilit­ies. Clients can also view an extensive media library showcasing stage layouts, lighting effects, floral designs, colour palettes and styling elements, as well as examples of table settings and mood boards featuring real objects.

After the initial selections are made, ideas come to life in the Lab’s media showroom, where clients can view mockups and then fine tune for the look that will transform their event into a memorable experience.

The Event Lab is sure to be busier now with the recent debut of the hotel’s 2019-20 Romance collection for weddings and the Elements collection for social events—two concepts that were launched in August and can transform an event into an unforgetta­ble experience.

Creating immersive multi-sensory experience­s, the Romance wedding collection is inspired by art, with themes that include Renaissanc­e, impression­ism and contempora­ry styles, while the Elements collection uses imaginativ­e concepts based on earth, metal, fire, wood and water to construct a unique atmosphere at social events.

Behind the scenes, some of the most influentia­l designers and experience­d profession­als work with Grand Hyatt to craft events, in fields ranging from video mapping, music compositio­n and floral arrangemen­t to table styling, cake design and food styling.

Grand Hyatt Tokyo’s master florist Tsuneo Fujiyoshi, for example, creates floral works of art that elevate the romance and ambience at a wedding, while cake creation is in the hands of a Europe-trained designer, whose intricate sugar art has adorned a host of high-profile events and A-list celebrity weddings in Asia.
