Gala Dinner
Almost every corporate event we do includes some form of awards ceremony. Often it is a day with a conference, general meeting or executive meeting that ends with a prize ceremony and gala dinner. When we produce galas, it is often all about gold and glitter. We deliver spectacular lighting, pyrotechnics and confetti, digital graphics with a gala theme and sound systems with serious impact – perfect for galas!In addition to the technical solution, our décor department delivers red carpets, Oscar statuettes and gigantic crystal chandeliers. Everything you need for a gala dinner!

Frequently asked questions about gala dinners
Can you deliver pyrotechnics and confetti when winners are announced?
Yes. Our lighting department delivers pyrotechnic solutions – heavy smoke, carbon dioxide ice, CO2 jets, streamers, sparklers and confetti – synchronised with lighting, music and video for maximum dramatic impact when winners are announced.
Can you build a 30-metre wide video panorama?
Yes. Our video department delivers panoramic video solutions in any width using LED walls, projectors or a combination of both. A 30-metre panorama is a powerful format for presenting winners and displaying gala graphics at scale. Playback is handled via media server and video mixer for full control of the picture throughout the evening.
Can you deliver technology for live bands and artists?
Yes. Our sound department has all the technology required for bands, artists and entertainment – monitor sound, DI boxes, backline interface and wireless systems. Our sound engineers have extensive experience of live artists and have worked with, among others, Måns Zelmerlöw, Norlie KKV, Molly Sandén and Kalifa.
Can you deliver a red carpet, entrance pillars and gala décor?
Yes. Our décor department delivers red carpets, entrance pillars, Oscar statuettes, stage flowers and other scenographic elements typical of galas. Our carpentry workshop complements with custom design elements such as logos in foam board or wood, custom-built lecterns and photo environments.
Can you produce gala graphics and motion graphics for the screens?
Yes. Our content and graphics department produces jingles, bumpers, nomination videos and intros with a gala theme, tailored to the specific screens and resolutions in use. Graphics are optimised to look sharp and impressive in arena format or across a wide panoramic surface.
Can you film the gala and deliver an edited film afterwards?
Yes. Our video department delivers complete camera productions with steadicam, dolly cameras and remote cameras. Footage from the gala is shown live on the screens during the evening and can be edited by our content and graphics department into an event film for distribution afterwards.
Can you handle the confidentiality of nominations and winners?
Yes. EDGE's project managers are experienced in handling the confidentiality of nominations and winners that must be kept secret until exactly the right moment. Winner envelopes and the presentation order are managed with complete discretion and shared only with those who need to know ahead of the show.
Can you show a 3D rendering of the set design before we decide?
Yes. Our visualisation department produces to-scale drawings and photorealistic 3D renderings of the stage and set design before production starts. We draw what we deliver – the renderings are a precise decision-making tool, not just inspiration images.
