Walk in

The Jewish Community of Frankfurt am Main is opening its doors to everyone and is celebrating a community festival to mark the 75th anniversary of its re-establishment. The Jewish institutions in Frankfurt present themselves, Sharon Brauner provides the atmosphere during the day with Yiddish songs and in the evening the KOOLULAM team, who traveled from Israel, harmonizes hearts with many voices.

ONE SHABBAT

On the occasion of 75 years re-establishment of the Jewish Community of Frankfurt am Main, almost 500 members are celebrating a Shabbat en blanc together. Dressed in white, people pray, sing and eat together at long white tables. Each plate is a unique piece painted by children, geshmake Esn in family style, and the songs of the Maccabeats, who have traveled from New York, create a very special Shbs Shlum.

LA DOLCE VITA & LO SPIRITO SANTO

With over 200 guests from all over Europe, in temperatures over 30° Celsius, the Italian bride and groom celebrated their wedding at the beautiful Rhine. From the wedding ceremony in the 12th century basilica, to the reception with a magnificent view over the traditional castle Johannisberg winery and followed by an elegant dinner with a fine menu under the starry sky in the castle courtyard. A huge disco-lantern-sky and an Italian superstar make the Amoratis, Fortunatis and the Nobiltà Cattolica finally sweat.

Quand le président appelle à une fête, ils viennent tous: les célébrités, les artistes et musiciens, et bien sûr les danseurs de cancan. Tout le monde se réunit pour fêter l'anniversaire d'un galeriste réputé.

Non Stop Ecstatic Dancing

350 surprised and morganatic guests from the world of art and commerce, 45 ecstatic dancers in formation and straps, 1 Spanish choreograph and ex Forsyth dancer, 1 massive power generator for DJ, VJ und light design, 10 makeup artists with huge amounts of hair and makeup, over 1000 cocktails, flying and liquid dinner! – That was a Frankfurt art-dealer’s singular, extravagant and ecstatic birthday-, dance- and firm- party in the Palais Frankfurt.

An electrifying staged show out of dance, music, visuals and lights which ensured an immediate ecstatic party atmosphere until feet were sore.

Royal Wedding 

In a white, blue and yellow land far, far away..... 

A huge assembly crane and many hardworking hands conjured up a white-tent landscape in the castle’s park. They piled and cleaned and dressed up and wrapped up until everything sparkled. And all at 30 degrees whilst the sun was beating down and the labradors were swimming in the pool. A sea of white and blue flowers on a yellow carpet. Dance hall chandeliers hanging from the tent ceiling whilst the luscious park is lit up like a fairytale. The whole town brimming with excitement. 450 guests in a celebratory mood. Beautiful dresses and beautiful dancers who carry on until the early hours of the morning. Preparations fit for a royal household and for a sophisticated and party-loving society. Long live C&S!

Big Dinner Party 

A museum needs friends and supporters. That is why the 250 guests eagerly look forward to the MMK’s (Museum für Moderne Kunst) traditional big dinner party where they can see something new, enjoy discussions, party and help the museum. The art of doing a fundraiser for an art museum is a mixture of a surprising idea, seductive offers, enthusiastic well-wishers and happy sponsors. Most convincing is the attention to detail and towards making the guest happy, which is later mirrored in their support.

Circus Wedding

A wonderful film-maker and his lovely theatre-maker wife celebrate a fairytale wedding with their extended families and lots of friends - all in all 450 people - in a huge circus tent. The boards tremble with all the talent for the stage, celebration and humor. "We love life, love and the zest, we believe in God and we always want to drink." If this famous German carnival song did not already exist, it would have been invented for that evening.

What fun F&M!

Girls only

Do you want a combined force and a good atmosphere? 

Then invite 500 ladies. 

Create a beautiful ambiance and present a good idea.

Those are the fundamentals for the guaranteed success of a fundraising event.

It is impressive how girl power amazes, stimulates and does good.

 Lady with Hat

"The most beautiful jewelry, oh my Lordy; are always the hats, for the Lady! It is forbidden to give a kiss left and right, a hand kiss therefore does it right!" This saying was left by Christa Freifrau of the Bussche-Ippenburg, inventor of the legendary "Cocktail prolongé - Lady with Hat".

During her 16 years working as a event manger for the Metzler Bank, Donata organized many exclusive events for Sylvia and Friedrich von Metzler. Among them was the regular cocktail "Lady with Hat" with over 1000 guests in hats.

Mariachi, Margaritas & more... 

What happens when a Mexican in Berlin wants to celebrate her birthday with 200 guests? Her garden is transformed into a Mexican paradise filled with colors, South American culinary delights, magical drinks and the sounds of the Mariachi. Thankfully the sun decided to mark the occasion and heat up the party.

AHOI

It’s a blistering 38° and a family of pirates decides to leave the city and set sail for the Hessian Treasure Island. The birthday child and father plunders the fancy dress box and an artist’s workshop. White stockings get pulled up, the beards pushed into shape and the cocktails are topped with umbrellas. When all is achieved a further 150 city-pirates promptly invade with their tin ships.

An 18th birthday party in hip Berlin Schöneberg. The location is a bedrock of West-Berlin’s nightlife: the Kara Kas Bar, famous for the roses hanging from it’s ceiling. Blacklight Party was a must -  with the compulsory colors and parents not permitted…
