Event Entertainment | RAY ENTERTAINMENT

This goal cannot be achieved by putting together a modular system of a producer's existing entertainment module for the company's particular special event.

What we do - and why

The background of our core team comes from the theater. This is the fundamental reason why we have applied our knowledge and understanding of the impact of performance, effects and emotional tools of theater beyond the theatrical stage and used it in creating entertainment experiences for corporate special events for all settings and all sizes:

from an exclusive VIP gala to a large stadium spectacle, from a themed immersive dinner to the grand opening ceremony of the EXPO.

Through the international network we have built and expanded on over the years, we have access to an inexhaustible pool of some of the most exceptional and skilled creative artists, composers, writers, designers and craftspeople, all of whom are passionate about storytelling.

No medium reaches its audience as deeply and emotionally as a specially tailored live entertainment experience and consequently makes a lasting impression on the audience.

We therefore create completely original, tailor-made and extraordinary entertainment experiences that not only entertain, but also create a deep emotional connection with the target group and communicate the motto of the event in a direct, immediate and unforgettable manner.

SHOWREEL

Our philosophy can be summarized in one sentence:

YOUR VISION IS OUR MISSION

HOW WE WORK

Depending on your request and budget, we develop, create and produce unique, unforgettable live entertainment experiences for you and your clients.

Client Briefing

We start with a blank page - then work closely with the client to understand the event's desires and goals, as well as the target audience, and then design a completely unique entertainment experience, tailored specifically for that event.

Concept Development

Each of our entertainment experiences is tailor-made and individually developed with direct reference to the motto of the event: no special event created by RAY ENTERTAINMENT EVENTS is like any other.

Production

In direct and timely cooperation with you, we create concepts, designs for costumes, wigs, props & sets, music, casting, choreographies, direction and accompany you from the first pitch to the finished production.

Your Vision Is Our Mission

Your vision is our mission - and if you as our client think it makes sense for us to communicate directly with your client: we are there where you feel you need us.

Magic Moments !

Events with communicative and emotional goals of the client are always under a certain motto, but rarely the entertainment experience created for the event is.

The corporate event only becomes "special" when the entertainment experience directly reflects the motto of the entire event in the creative production.

No medium reaches its audience as deeply and emotionally as a specially tailored live entertainment experience and consequently makes a lasting impression on the audience.

We therefore create completely original, tailor-made and extraordinary entertainment experiences that not only entertain, but also create a deep emotional connection with the target group and communicate the motto of the event in a direct, immediate and unforgettable manner.

What makes a Special Event "Special" ?

Events with communicative and emotional goals of the client are always under a certain motto, but rarely the entertainment experience created for the event is.

The corporate event only becomes "special" when the entertainment experience directly reflects the motto of the entire event in the creative production.

Wodurch wird ein Special Event „Special“ ?

Events mit kommunikativen und emotionalen Zielen des Kunden stehen immer unter einem bestimmten Motto, selten jedoch das dafür vorgesehene Entertainment-Erlebnis.

„Special“ wird das Firmenevent erst, wenn das Entertainment Erlebnis das Motto der gesamten Veranstaltung in der künstlerischen Performance direkt widerspiegelt.
