A Wild Corporate Christmas Party
A Jungle-Themed End-of-Year Party for ThoughtWorks!
Feel Good Events recently helped to turn The Park into a Jungle Themed party for an end-of-year corporate event! The vision for the event was to create a tropical, jungle oasis complete with wild animals within The Park venue! So, that’s exactly what we did.
The event was held at The Park at Albert Park – the perfect blank-canvas space to transform! See more about this venue here.
The Setup
For this setup, the Feel Good Events team used lots of artificial plants, flowers, & greenery to create a tropical vibe. Placing the plants around the space was a great way to add some colour to the venue! We put together several greenery installations in different parts of the venue as well as jungle vines in the centre of the tables. To emphasise the tropical jungle themeing, we added a few of our Animal Props. These are always such a talking point amongst guests and really add some fun to the decorating.
For furniture, we used some of our Illuminated curved benches and stools. This gave guests at the event a place to sit down and chill out while taking a break from dancing!
The setup and pack down ran smoothly and the venue was ready for guests to have a wild night!

Amiga Montessori's 2022 End of Year Gala
A Glamorous Gala for Amiga
Feel Good Events recently put together a glamorous and colourful setup for Amiga Montessori’s End of Year Gala! The vision for the night was lots of florals and greenery, sticking to the Amiga brand colours of purple, green, and gold. So that’s exactly what we did!
The Setup
The team arrived at the beautiful venue, San Remo Ballroom, nice and early to begin the setup. After unloading the vehicles, we began by assembling the media wall and putting together the greenery and floral entranceway. This installation looked amazing and provided a great photo opportunity for guests as they moved into the main room.
The main event space was filled with 32 tables with each chair featuring a gold chair sash to tie in with the colour scheme. Each table also had a custom-created floral centrepiece to add more colour and greenery to the room.
For the DJ area, we used our Gold Acrylic Bar and put together a greenery, floral, and mirror ball installation above it. This created one of the focal points of the events and really added the WOW factor to the space!
The entranceway featured a black carpet and silver bollards to make guests feel like VIPs as they arrived! This area also had a custom-made entrance sign by Signed By G as well as a beautiful floral arrangement by Foxy Evergreen. As guests moved into the foyer, they could have a drink and take photos while finding their seat on the seating chart (also provided by Signed by G).
Entertainment
In addition to the DJ, performances by the talented dancers at Entertainment Dance Creations lifted the energy of the whole room! Following their incredible routine, guests flocked to the dance floor and stay there for the rest of the night.
A 360 Photobooth provided by Social Exposure also kept the guests entertained throughout the event. There was even a line of people waiting for a turn!

Red Energy's Hollywood Themed Event
A Glamorous End-of-Year Party for Red Energy!
The Feel Good Events team recently had the pleasure of planning & decorating Red Energy’s Hollywood Themed Event. The end-of-year celebrations took place across 2 levels of their office in Cremorne. The vision for the event was to transform their offices into a glamorous & luxurious Hollywood Themed party, and we did just that!
The Setup
With 2 spaces to transform and lots of equipment, it was a big day for the team. The setup began with the downstairs reception area. The idea for this space was to create a VIP entranceway for guests to walk through as they arrived. To do this we used red carpet and bollards, mood lighting, and a mixture of red velvet and gold sequin drape. This helped to set the mood for the event right at the beginning. Guests had the chance to feel like glamorous celebrities as they walked down the red carpet!
The next step for the setup was to move upstairs to the main event space. For this area, the team used LOTS of Gold Sequin Drape around the room. This was to section off parts of the room and further enhance the themeing. We also added some Black Velvet Drape, Crystal Beaded Curtains, and mood lighting in the space.
For styling and decor, we added gold sequin cushions and gold throws to the seating areas. We also placed feather centrepieces around the room to add to the Hollywood Theme! The main feature of this space was the ceiling drape. To create this, the team used a mixture of red and gold chiffon drape and attached it to truss in the middle of the room. The drape was then hung across the event space to create a great effect!
The team at Belle Balloons worked their magic with a stunning white & gold balloon garland. The garland was complete with white feathers to perfectly match the theme!
This huge setup took the team all day to complete but the results made it all worthwhile. Red Energy’s Hollywood Themed Event was undoubtedly a great success!

This event was designed by Printcess Pty Ltd on behalf of Red Energy.

The final room to bring to life was the red room. For this space, the team set up Red Chiffon Drape, velvet ottomans, our light-up heart, and more.

The Ultimate Guide To Dance Floor Hire
Everything You Need To Know About Hiring a Dance Floor
If you’re in the process of planning a party, wedding, or event, chances are that you’re going to need a dance floor! With so many options to choose from, it can become quite overwhelming when it comes to making a decision. That’s why we’ve put together this Ultimate Guide to Dance Floor Hire! In this guide, we’ll cover why you need a dance floor and how it can influence the entire atmosphere of your event! We’ll also cover all the different dance floor options, what size you need, and where you should set up your dance floor.
Feel Good Events are experts when it comes to setting up and installing dance floors. Keep reading to find out more!
Why Do I Need a Dance Floor?
Dance floors look great and are a lot of fun, but do you really need one at your event? The short answer is yes, you do! Whether you’re hosting a house party, wedding, or corporate event, a dance floor is an absolute must. Especially if you want your guests up and dancing! The key to making an event an unforgettable experience for your guests is to make them feel good. Dancing is a key ingredient in this!
Three Main Reasons For Hiring a Dance Floor
1. Get your guests up and dancing
If you want your guests to be dancing throughout the night, you need to provide a space for them to do so. Even if your guests are eager to boogie, they might be hesitant to do so if there is no dance floor clearly laid out for them. Having a dedicated dance area will encourage your guests to dance the night away and create great party memories. Not only can a dance floor create a great party atmosphere, but it can also act as a focal point for your event space. Choosing the right style and colour of dance floor to perfectly match your theme can significantly enhance the look of your event.
2. Create a stable surface
Another key reason for choosing to hire a dance floor for your event is if the ground or floor surface is not suitable. This can turn into a hazard for your guests! If your guests are dancing on grass or uneven surfaces, or if the surface is just not suitable for dancing, they will be less likely to dance at all.
3. Protect the ground/surface underneath
Dance floors are also often hired to protect the ground/surface underneath where the event is happening. If your event is at home and you have expensive flooring, a dance floor will help to protect it. Any group of people dancing in one spot can cause great wear on the floor surface. Even more so if drinks are spilled and glasses are broken. A dance floor will help you to protect any surface, even if your event is outside and you want to protect the grass!
Read more here about why you need a dance floor at your wedding!
Types of Dance Floors
When choosing a dance floor for your event, it is important that you pick one that is appropriate. For instance, if you’re planning an elegant wedding, you probably don’t want to hire an Illuminated LED Dance Floor. Feel Good Events has 6 different dance floor options to choose from.
1. Illuminated LED Dance Floor
Illuminated LED Dance Floors are the perfect option if you are looking to add the ‘WOW’ factor to your event. Create an amazing party atmosphere where your guests won’t want to stop dancing! These dance floors have lots of different colours and patterns that change throughout the night to keep your guests stimulated and bring your party to life. They can also be custom programmed at an extra charge to specifically suit your party or event colour scheme!
An Illuminated LED Dance Floor is perfect for creating an exciting disco vibe for a 60s, 70s, and 80s theme. You can even use the single tiles as a light-up podium for your event! Our LED Dance Floors range in price from $810-$9,900 (not including delivery and installation). This dance floor cannot be set up outdoors.
Sizing
All our dance floors come in various sizes that enable you to customise them to fit your event space. Each tile is 1m x 1m and our dance floors can be configured using a minimum of 9 tiles (3m x 3m) and a maximum of 110 tiles (10m x 11m). The size of the dance floor you need for your space will determine how much it costs.
- 3m x 3m (9 tiles): holds 18-36 people
- 3m x 4m (12 tiles): holds 24-48 people
- 4m x 4m (16 tiles): holds 32-64 people
- 4m x 5m (20 tiles): holds 40-80 people
- 5m x 5m (25 tiles): holds 50-100 people
- 5m x 6m (30 tiles): holds 60-120 people
- 6m x 6m (36 tiles): holds 72-144 people

- 10m x 10m (100 tiles): holds 242-484 people
- 10m x 11m (110 tiles) holds 242-484 people
Dance floor edging can be hired as an optional extra for $15 per piece but is not a requirement. We recommend having edging if you are hiring a dance floor that is any larger than 5m x 5m. Edging will add 27cm on each side of the dance floor. As our dance floors need to be professionally installed, there will be added labor costs as well as the hire and delivery costs. Again, this is dependent on the size of the dance floor you are hiring!

What Size Dance Floor Do I Need?
Determining the size of your dance floor will be entirely dependent on how much space you have and the number of guests. Additionally, the atmosphere you want to create and how closely you want your guests to dance will influence the size you need.
Typically, if your guests know each other, they will dance close together rather than spread out. This means that if your dance floor is too big, you will lose the atmosphere instantly. It is therefore always better to go smaller and have it look fuller than the other way around. To create better party energy, we suggest about 3 people per square meter. If you want your guests to be more spread out, 2 people per square meter is ideal.
It is also important to keep in mind that not all of your guests will dance, and if they do they might not be dancing at the same time. If you count on 50% of your guests being on the dance floor at one time you can be sure that your dance floor will not be too big.
Where Should I Place My Dance Floor?
At any party, event, or wedding, the dance floor often acts as a focal point. This means that even if your guests are not up and dancing, it is likely that they will gather around this area to watch other people. Therefore, setting up your dance floor as close to your bar area as possible is a great idea. Setting up your dance floor too far away from your bar will mean your guests will be constantly having to leave whenever they want a drink. Keeping them within a close distance will work to keep your guests together and will encourage everyone to bust a move!
If possible, try to set up your dance floor so that it is not in the way of high traffic areas such as the bathrooms and any doorways. This way you can keep everyone moving and keep the party energy high!
Conclusion
So, there you have it! The ultimate guide to dance floor hire for your next event, wedding, or party. Above all, creating a great atmosphere and energy for your event requires dancing. This means you need a dedicated dance area! To keep your guests connected and the energy moving, it is always better to keep your dance floor on the smaller side to make it feel full. Similarly, you should set up your dance floor so that is close to your bar area to help keep your guests together. Crack out this guide to dance floor hire when you start planning your next event and you are sure to have your guests dancing the night away!

8 Things to Consider When Choosing Your Party Venue
Choose the right venue for your party!
When throwing a party, choosing a venue is usually the first thing people do. Your venue can have such a huge impact on whether or not your party is a success, so it’s an important decision to make!
There are so many factors that can determine what venue is right for you. Because of this, it can be a stressful and daunting process. That’s why Feel Good Events has put together this guide to help you choose the right party venue!
In this post, we will cover some of the factors that will influence your decision, including:
- Price/Budget
- Size/Guest List
- Location
- Access
- Inclusions
- Date/Time of Year
- Flexibility & Layout
- Your Theme/Style
Keep reading to find out how to choose the right venue for your party!
1. Price/Budget
Your party budget is possibly the most influential factor in your venue choice. The bigger your budget, the more venue options you will have (and vice versa)!
As you look for venues, it’s important to keep your budget at the front of your mind. You might find a venue that you love and that fits all your criteria, but it might be out of your price range! Try to do your research so you have an idea of venue costs from the very beginning to avoid any surprises or disappointment. You should also keep in mind that venues are all different when it comes to calculating costs. The different ways you might pay for your venue are:
- Minimum Spend: Most venues will work on a minimum spend either over the bar or including food
- Venue Hire + Minimum Spend: Some venues will have a venue hire fee that is not counted toward food and drink. This fee will purely cover the cost of hiring out the space. These venues will also generally have in-house catering that you must use – you cannot hire your own
- DIY Venues: These venues are blank canvas-type spaces where you can bring all your own suppliers
If you want to know more about pricing breakdowns for venues, check out our ‘How much does it cost to throw a party?’ blog post!
2. Size/Guest List
The next factor that will influence your venue choice is your guest list. The more people you plan on inviting to your party, the bigger your venue will need to be! If you want your party to have an exciting atmosphere with high energy, you don’t want your venue to feel too empty or too crowded. This means that having an idea of your guest list prior to choosing your venue is helpful. It’s also important to keep in mind that not everyone you invite to your event will attend! This is a common mistake quite often made by many people when planning a party. Always work off choosing a venue that will fit HALF of the people you have invited. It’s always better to have a venue that is slightly too small than one that is far too big. A fuller venue will create a better atmosphere!
Something else to consider is who you plan on inviting. If there are going to be kids or teenagers at your party, you may need a separate space for them if you are planning on serving alcohol.
Don’t forget to also allow room for any hire furniture or decorations you are bringing into the venue as these will take up space too.
3. Location
Location is another factor that will have a big influence on your venue choice. You want to make sure you choose a venue that is located in an area that is close enough for all your guests to get to. There’s no use having your party in the CBD if your guests all live an hour away! Likewise, ensure that there are public transport options nearby for guests who won’t be driving to the venue. If your venue is too hard to get to or too far away, people will be less likely to show up! Additionally, if you have any guests that will be traveling for the party, you will also need to make sure there are accommodation options close by.
Another thing to consider with the location of your venue is parking options. This is often overlooked, but some of your guests may choose to drive to your party and will therefore need somewhere to park! If you’re unsure about how much parking you need, 1 spot for every 3-4 guests is a good guide.
4. Access
Venue access is a factor that is often overlooked by people when planning their parties. However, it is very important if you are planning to hire furniture and/or equipment! Your venue access will determine how and when your suppliers can come in and set everything up for your party.
How much time do you have to set up and pack down your furniture, equipment, and decorations? Does it need to be done the day before the party or can it be done on the day of? Will you need to pack everything down on the same night, or do you have venue access for multiple days? These are all questions you need to consider when choosing your venue!
The more time you have to set up and pack down, the better. Having more time will not only allow you to do more with your decorating, but it will also decrease labour costs when hiring equipment. Likewise, the less time you have, the more expensive labour will be.
5. Inclusions
The next element to consider when choosing your venue is inclusions. Does the venue include catering and bar services, or will you need to organise this yourself? Is the venue decorated and fully furnished or is this another thing you need to do? Once you know all the things that come with the venue, it will make it much easier to organise everything else!
6. Date/Time of Year
The date/time of year of your party can have a big influence on your venue choice. If you’re planning on having your party on a weekend or during a busy period, availability can become an issue. It can also increase costs significantly as there will be a much higher demand during these times. To avoid this, try to plan your party and book your venue as far in advance as possible!
7. Layout & Flexibility
Another factor to consider is the layout and flexibility of the venue’s floorplan. It’s no good having a plan in place for your equipment and styling if the venue space won’t allow it! If you want you guests up and dancing at your party, you’ll need a venue that has a large open space where you can put a dancefloor. However, if you are having a sit-down dinner party, this is not as important.
Something else to think about is party energy and atmosphere. The key to creating a high-energy atmosphere at your party is to keep all your guests together. This means you should look for a venue that has one or two dedicated party areas rather than multiple rooms. Having multiple rooms can separate your guests from each other and decrease the party atmosphere!
8. Theme/Style
If you are planning on having a themed party, it’s a good idea to pick your theme before choosing a venue. This way you can be sure that your venue is suitable! Choosing a blank canvas-type space will give you lots of freedom when it comes to decorating and styling whereas a venue with lots of character will be more limiting. Additionally, if you can find a space that is already decorated to suit your theme or style, you can save time and money on your decorating. For example, a venue with lots of greenery already in it would be perfect for a tropical or jungle theme.

As you can see, there are several factors you must take into consideration when picking out your venue to make sure you make the right decision.

Garden Christmas Party
A Christmas Party in the Secret Garden!
Feel Good Events recently created a summery, Christmas-themed garden setup at Werribee Zoo.
To create this Garden Christmas Party setup, the team started with a blank canvas in Werribee Zoo’s Secret Garden space. This space provides stunning nature views and was the perfect backdrop for this setup.
We set up a number of Market Umbrellas to provide some shade and weather protection. Next, we added some high bar tables and bar stools for guests to sit at and eat/drink. Each table featured a festive centrepiece made up of Red Christmas Wreaths, Eucalyptus Leaves, and Candles.
To create a lounge area for guests to chill out in, we used a combination of rattan chairs, lounges, and coffee tables. This area was made complete with festive cushions and greenery. This setup is absolutely perfect for those end-of-year events and making the most of the warmer weather!
If you want to see more about this venue, check out our Werribee Zoo venue spotlight.
