”Matt Potter, you and your crew were faultless, the kids had their dream party.Your guidance, advice, help, attention to detail, customer care (and coffee although I paid!) were second to none. We had a fantastic night and I felt relaxed throughout the whole process knowing we were in your capable hands. If anyone is considering organising an event like this Matt Potter of Potter Group is your man, you will have a spectacular night. Big thanks to you and your crew for a night we will never forget.

Creating the first impression
We started with a blank canvas looked at the family home and selected the best location for the marquee considering:
- Client arrival
- Drop Off
- Parking
- Champagne reception
All of which are key to create the perfect first impression. Following this we wanted to create initial excitement from the moment the guests arrived. We fabricated a large ‘Welcome to ‘Fabulous Las Vegas’ sign (resembling the real one) at the main entrance which was perfect as a backdrop for photos on arrival. This was positioned at the start of a VIP red carpet and barriers which led you in style to the clear marquee for the champagne reception. The marquee boasted wow factor red & black carpet which totally enhanced the marquee and gave the desired high impact first impression.
Creating the entertainment area
To enforce the event theme, the main entertainment area boasted an array of decorative lighting, furniture, props and special effects including:
- Illuminating bar
- Illuminating poseur tables
- Feather table centres
- Illuminating motion curtains
- Marquee style wooden letters ‘Casino’ & ‘VIP’
- Large casino chips
- Las Vegas Signage
- Lavish Swags
- Monster Mirror balls
- Black polished dance floor
