Our GIF Photo Booth Was A Hit!
One of Geelong’s night of nights is the River’s Gift Gala Ball. Tickets sold out this year in a matter of hours. Held on Saturday June 23rd at the stunning Mt Duneed Estate, there is always a sense of mystery and excitement when it comes to the night as they never do thing by halves.
We enter through the main doors and are taken through a beautiful wooden wardrobe, past the warm woolly coats into what can only be described as an absolute winter wonderland. Snow capped trees, statues, lions, chalk murals and all things Narnia.
The team at Igby Productions excelled once again, the transformation of Mt Duneed Estate was incredible, the popular event venue was barely recognisable in fact.
River’s Gift Story
Alex and Karl are the founders of River’s Gift, who sadly lost their adorable son River back in November 2011 at just 128 days old. They have raised close to $1million since beginning their journey to raise awareness, to educate and to “Stamp Out SIDS”.
We were honoured to support this amazing cause with the addition of our GIF Booth for the night. Set up in front of a sleigh, guests sat down inside for some photo booth fun.
Hosted by channel 7’s Nathan Templeton, the night commences with a performance of “A Million Dreams”. If that wasn’t enough to give you goose bumps, we heard from many families who sadly all have babies forever sleeping. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house. Speeches, constant entertainment, dessert tables, turkish delight cocktails and our GIF booth of course, kept heads turning in awe throughout the entire evening. It truly was a perfectly executed evening indeed.
As their main fundraiser, there was a live pledge throughout the night. Guests jumped online and donated to River’s Gift. Over the course of the evening, they managed to raise over $100k, what an outstanding effort. The generosity of the Geelong community never ceases to amaze me.
I have so much admiration for Alex & Karl and all they have done in River’s honour. As a mum, what they have been through is unimaginable, so Zuster Photobooths will continue to support them in their quest to Stamp Out SIDS.
