To celebrate, we spent a week connecting with some of our valued venue partners, shining a spotlight on their incredible event teams that make magic happen each and every day.
We heard from The British Museum, Natural History Museum, National Portrait Gallery, The Design Museum, V&A South Kensington and V&A East Storehouse.
Here’s what they had to say…
“What’s the first thing guests say when they arrive at the venue?”
Feedback from guests is as diverse and fascinating as the venues themselves! Some are left speechless by the sheer scale of Hintze Hall, others experience a comforting wave of nostalgia at the National Portrait Gallery, spotting a familiar face gazing down from the historic walls. And at the British Museum, the most popular guest question: “Is this place haunted?!”
Whether it’s awe, a touch of personal connection, or a spark of playful curiosity, these initial reactions are absolutely crucial. They set the entire tone for any event, proving that a powerful first impression is truly everything!
“What’s been the most unexpected event or set-up created at the venue?”
Our museum partners are continuously pushing the boundaries, reimagining their spaces for every kind of event imaginable. It’s a challenge we embrace, working hand-in-hand with them to bring our clients’ most ambitious ideas to life!
Picture a hot air balloon bar elevating guests’ spirits, a runway transformed for an immersive fashion show, or a grand charity gala illuminating the halls. The opportunities to make these events truly stand out are endless. It all comes down to collaborative partnership, an unwavering eye for detail, and a passion for extraordinary creativity and execution!
“If your venue was a movie, what genre would it be?”
With their behind-the-scenes atmospheres and eclectic collections, these spaces feel like movies waiting to happen — where every object has a story, and every corner holds a secret waiting to be uncovered.
Whether it’s mystery, drama, or romance, each of these museums truly holds the makings of a cinematic experience all on their own.
The real magic often unfolds in these tucked-away treasures, perfect for events seeking to surprise and delight with something unexpected.
Mark you calendars – because these exhibitions are too good to miss!
As well as homes for history and art, museums are living, breathing venues that inspire, connect, and constantly evolve.
At Wise Productions, we’re honoured to support these incredible institutions and their dedicated teams in delivering events that truly move people—both emotionally and creatively.
