On Monday 8th March, 2010, Pacific World China proudly organized the largest ever tented seated dinner in the Forbidden City in Beijing, on behalf of a US financial client, with 713 guests in attendance. The event was supported by over 800 staff, incorporating 320 catering staff and over 350 entertainers, including the Beijing Philharmonic Orchestra, a 40 piece drum band, and a closing act performed by Lionel Richie.
Pacific World China rose to the challenge of meeting the client’s desire to hold an incredible gala dinner in the Forbidden City, an open-air venue, in the middle of a Beijing winter. Sub-zero temperatures and a snow storm weren’t stopping anybody enjoying this feat, as Pacific World set to work without any heavy lifting equipment, as it is prohibited within the Forbidden City, to build a gigantic transparent marquee, allowing the guests to enjoy the imperial surroundings.
Richard Rheindorf, Country Manager for Pacific World China, said “This was one of the most exciting events ever done in the Forbidden City and for sure the largest tented event within its walls. We not only had to build a large transparent marquee but one to withstand the unusual subfreezing temperatures and heavy snowfall.”
Pacific World China has offices in Beijing and Shanghai and is part of the Pacific World DMC network of 19 offices in eight countries throughout Asia and has been in operation for 30 years.
