EVENTS & COMPANY has organized customized events around art, culture and gastronomy for several years for Fortune 500 companies coming to France and the United Kingdom. We have organized both receptions and multi-day events for an English-speaking and international public. We work regularly with both meeting planners and corporate marketing departments.

Here are some examples:

For Trek Travel & Lance Armstrong's Live Strong Foundation’s guests in Paris, we organized a visit to an art gallery where the group met an important contemporary French artist. This was followed by a private tour of the Fauchon gourmet food store and wine vendor that included a lunch at Fauchon’s new restaurant. Afterwards the guests attended a presentation by the style bureau of a major French department store where they learned about the major trends for the new fall and winter men’s and women’s collections. The program also included special discount shopping cards and welcome gifts.

For Merrill Lynch’s guests at Wimbledon, we organized a city tour of London, following by a private tour of the sumptuous Wallace Collection, the largest private collection ever given to the British state:

For RSM International, we arranged a private tour out to the Chateau of Chantilly with both Spanish and English-speaking guides, a luncheon reception in the kitchens of the castle, followed by a private shopping and walking tour in Senlis with a VIP welcome from different artisans and boutiques.

For Condé Nast Magazines, we organized two years in a row, “Lucky Shops Paris,” for their high-profile advertisers and spouses. We not only arranged customized receptions complete with bilingual menus, but also organized private shopping tours with select discounts to different designer boutiques in Paris, as well as private tours of the Paris Flea Market.

For Bristol-Myers Squibb, we arranged a team-building cooking course featuring hot and cold appetizers and desserts, coupled with blind wine-tasting in a copper cookware factory in the Marais district.

For Buena Vista Pictures, we arranged a two-day internal meeting for the European sales directors of video games connected to the movie “Ratatouille”, that was topped off by a cooking class centered around the recipe for ratatouille.

For Acorn Stair-lifts’ French dealers, we arranged a private tour and luncheon on an elegant yacht with an open-air deck; following the meal, guests were able to watch the Formula One on a wide-screen television that benefitted from excellent reception by docking next to the Eiffel Tower.

For Sidaplax’s board of directors’ meeting in Paris, we arranged a day and a half of tours and receptions that provided an indepth introduction to the French capital and an excellent opportunity for informal brainstorming.

For Eurogroup, we arrange a private guided tour in English for the company employees at a different Parisian museum or institution, followed by a wine reception.

Conclusion: These companies chose to work with us because we are a Creative Turnkey Operation. You can count on us to organize, supervise, and personalize your entire event from the moment we go to contract to the moment of your guests’ departure.
The Services that we offer include:

Transportation
We provide limousines, minivans, buses, chartered planes, helicopters and yachts. We are able to coordinate all transportation from arrival to departure and everything else in between.

Our excellent relationships with hotels in and outside of Paris means that we can negotiate very attractive rates on behalf of your group. All rates are transparent because we don’t take a commission from hotels.
