The Oysters 4th Annual Summer Party – once again the hottest place to be!
The Oysters Summer Party, now in its fourth
consecutive year, has firmly established itself as the highlight of the year for the meetings
and incentives industry. And this year's event on July 5th exceeded even the
highest expectations as over 150 guests arrived in summer sunshine to network
and party in the scintillating atmosphere at one of London's most stunning venues - One
Marylebone.
Representatives from 20 participating destinations
put on a spectacular range of experiences showcasing each country's unique
assets, including a Kylie impersonator from Australia,
Santa Claus from Finland and
superbly attired Cypriot folk dancers – whilst Sweden's sexy male model (dressed
only in fetching underwear) created quite a stir. Guests arrived to the beat of
South African drummers and then embarked on an odyssey of Oysters hospitality
at its best. They sampled a fantastic range of dishes from all over the world,
from delicious Irish oysters to savouries from Cyprus,
Italian limoncello to dates from Oman. The more adventurous enjoyed
fascinating gastronomy classes featuring Maltese kannoli and sushi from Japan, as well as food tasting from France's Olive
Tapenades Atelier.
There was a spectacular selection of drinks
- alcoholic and otherwise – went down well as the temperature went up. Cocktail
enthusiasts were spoilt for choice, learning to create their own with a
Canadian mixologist, enjoying a stunning German artistic cocktail show or tasting
an exotic selection from Portugal.
The Swedish Ice Bar proved equally popular, whilst beer lovers were treated to
excellent Flemish and Belgian brews.
After all the eating and drinking, guests
could indulge in some well-deserved pampering with an Icelandic hand massage at
the Blue Lagoon Spa. The 'Wellness' corner was also a huge draw, with Maltese
nail-painting or head & shoulder massages as well as Swedish massage
physiotherapy, whilst Dubai’s henna tattooist
and South Africa's
face painters were kept very busy. Switzerland's intriguing farm
animal-themed football table was also inundated with devotees - possibly
inspired by Euro 2012!
The stunning programme of entertainment
included a whole spectrum of activities, including games, draws & raffles
with prizes ranging from wine to gourmet food, holidays to weekend breaks.
Music and dancing continued well into the early hours and, for some, way
beyond!
Once again, the occasion was organised by Beyond Certainty, one of the UK's most
successful and creative events management specialists. Led by the indefatigable
Haralambos Stavrou, the Beyond Certainty team transformed One Marylebone into a stunning global showcase. The
catering, provided by the illustrious team from The London Kitchen, was
exceptional. The evening could not have happened without the magnificent
support of The Meetings Show,
the event's headline sponsors, as well as Kerzner.com,
the party’s bronze sponsors.
Oysters' spokesperson Marie Anne Barthet
Brown commented: "We knew that this year we would have our work cut out
following the success of previous events. But the response from guests has been
amazing. Our grateful thanks go to all who contributed to making our 4th Annual Summer Party such a wonderful
occasion. We’re all looking forward to next year’s event."
