Services Worth Spotlighting
From showstopping specialty acts to can’t-miss photo experiences — here’s a look at what’s new and what guests are loving right now.
Specialty Acts
Wine Bike
A rolling, showstopping bar station that functions as both a service point and an instant photo moment. The Wine Bike circulates through your event — drawing crowds, sparking conversation, and elevating the overall atmosphere with a touch of theatrical flair. Perfect for upscale corporate receptions, galas, and themed evenings where every detail is designed to impress.
LED Entertainment
Glow Girls
High-energy, LED-costumed performers that electrify the room the moment they arrive. Glow Girls bring movement, color, and nightclub-level atmosphere to any event — ideal for LED parties, gala entertainment, and after-dark activations where you want an unforgettable visual impact that matches the energy of the room and keeps the momentum going all night.
Photo Booths
Iris Photography
A truly one-of-a-kind photo experience that captures stunning, museum-quality iris portraits guests will treasure long after the event. Iris Photography adds a sophisticated and deeply personal keepsake element that works beautifully at corporate events, galas, VIP receptions, and brand activations where you want guests to walk away with something meaningful.
Cultural Performances
Pōwhiri Haka Performance
One of the most powerful and commanding live performances available for any event. The Powhiri Haka is a traditional Maori ceremonial performance that commands the room with raw energy, precision, and cultural depth. Whether used as a grand opening, a high-impact transition, or a signature moment within a themed event, it stops guests in their tracks and creates a memory that outlasts the evening.
Photo Booths
Roaming Photo Booth
A photo booth that comes to your guests — no station, no line, no waiting. The Roaming Photo Booth moves through the event capturing candid, in-the-moment shots that feel authentic and fun. It's a great fit for large events, cocktail hours, and any setting where you want photo memories without anchoring guests to one spot.
Specialty Acts
Champagne Girls
Make every toast feel like a headline moment. Our Champagne Girls bring theatrical elegance to receptions and galas, circulating through the room with sparkling wine and creating the kind of visuals guests immediately reach for their phones to capture. A natural fit for casino nights, New Year’s events, and any upscale experience where the details should feel exceptional.
