ALL ABOUT

Us.

Established in 2009, H+Co Parties Et Cetera is an event production company based in Athens, Greece.

We offer a wide range of services that include the provision of Sound and Lighting Effects’ systems, Decorative and Functional Venue Illumination, Special Effects and Customized Trussing Constructions. The performance of the talented, and vastly sought-after, members of our DJ team are always there to supplement the high-end productions we deliver. All over Greece.

Through our network of associates — who we deem to be the best in the country in their respective fields — we are able to offer anything that may be required for any given private event or corporate function, well beyond our aforementioned in-house services. Venue decorators, event planners/coordinators, florists, furniture/prop rentals, image/video projections, LED screens, tent/canopy constructions, stage building, catering/bartending services, live performers and bands, dancers, entertainers, photo/videographers, valet services, security personnel, lifeguards, firework shows, mobile power generators and venue locating/booking to name a few.

Ever since its inception, H+Co Parties Et Cetera has been synonymous with both Fun and Style. Our upscale client niche has always trusted us with the sound and lighting production of their private events (weddings, Christenings, private parties et cetera), as well as with the DJ performance to accompany each of them. Following the successes thereof, have, in turn, relied on us for the covering of their corporate ones.

Upon completion of our clients’ soirees, or daytime events, the most frequent statements and compliments that we have received, can be summed up as: “We already knew everyone would have a blast – hence us requesting your services in the first place – but what what you created for us was just astonishing”. The most common one, verbatim, being: “Everyone was asking us who you are”. 😉

For yours, just reach out.  And leave it to us.

Carpe noctem!

Extra In-House Services

Video Creation / Editing & Custom 3D Animations

Creating a video — when done well — is a particularly time-consuming task. Think days. It’s all about getting a message across to the viewers, attracting their engagement and conveying what was, or will be, experienced. In the best possible light.

Nowadays, many of us have given video editing a hobby-level try. But due to a lack of free time, and given the steep learning curve beyond the basics, most have given up trying to take their edits to anything more than a simple sequence of footage clips, using very basic transitions between them.

We have the knowledge and skill, and we make the time because we love visual creations! Whether real real-time, or after the fact. 😉

Track Remixing / Re-Editing

A hobby of our has always been remixing and re-editing songs. We, as most people, love updated variations of favorite songs. Whether oldies, or relatively recent tracks. A more up-to-date version of the song you love, or an altogether different track which is evocative of the original via its re-sampling.

Imagine having your event’s theme track tailored to your liking, just just for you! For “your” version to be played during, and throughout, your special evening.

It doesn’t get more “You” than that! 🙂

Your own, customized, track may also be used as the theme song upon which your video, or animated slideshow, is based. Should you wish to send it to your guests along with their invitation — as an event teaser — it will establish the track as the event’s theme beforehand! Should it be sent to them in the days following as an attendance thank-you, including footage from your special day, your personally-tailored theme track will serve as a reminder of the soiree you had hosted; further “cementing” it as yours!

Event Temp-Website Creation

The keys here are ease, simplicity, speed and — of course — price.

In a “world gone digital” it is not uncommon to create a website with information regarding an event someone is hosting, map directions to it, to automate reminder dispatches, to include photos/videos, contact details, as well as to amass RSVPs to assist you and/or your event planner to more expediently coordinate the occasion.

Once given the necessary info, text and media, we can create this website for you and give your event the professional look it deserves. And to help keep things organized.

Multi-use custom QR Codes

QR codes are everywhere. With them you can save vcards (contact details) directly to your mobile devices, download menus and other documents, be linked to internet pages/websites, to social media profiles etc. We are all acqainted with them and use them on practically a daily basis for one of the above uses.

Imagine being able to create a unique QR code for your event, but one which offers ALL of the above.

With a single scan your guests will have access to everything you need them to. Eg. your website or that of the event’s, the event venue’s location pin to navigate them there, to a pre-event teaser video, to the optionally downloadable digital invitation. And so much more. With the same scan they will also be able to save the contact info to your event organizer, suggested hotels, travel agencies et al directly on their mobile devices.

All you will need to do is email them a single QR code and they will have everything that is needed by simply scanning it!

And, since this Multi-QR code is dynamic, you may add to, edit and delete some of  its contents as the days pass so that anyone scanning it will have access to the updated information at any time.

Following the event you will also be able to include the link to a video of your event that we can create for to thank your guests for their attendance.

Services Via Our Collaborators

Works Of Fire

With a strict Safety-First policy, and always adhering to local laws, our award-winning and licensed pyrotechnics’ display-designing partners who specialize in all available aerial and ground firework displays will help in making your event a night to remember! A show that your guests will talk about for months to come.

“Impressive” does not do justice to what you will experience. It will be a perfectly synchronized extravaganza. A thrilling spectacle of aggressive beauty in the sky. Intoxicating and mesmerizing. Exciting yet calming. Just wow.

Yes, the show will be lived for only a moment. But what a magical moment this will be! And it will, of course, last for much longer than its duration.

We don’t remember days, we remember moments“.

Tents / Stages / Dance Floors

So many alternative constructions are available to shelter your entire outdoor venue from rain, wind or sunlight. Via our close collaborators we can deliver tents or canopies of different designs and styles. And we only work with the best. Fully-opaque or transparent. Classic or modern designs. Even Beduin-styled. Take your pick.

No event cancellations, no matter what! Come rain or shine, the party’s on! 🤘

When the ground makes an elevated stage, or a floor-level dance floor, a requirement — or if you simply want one — we’ll deliver. Even a swimming pool may be covered with a sub-water supported floor deck to maximize the usable venue area.

Multiple styles and colors are there to choose from. You may even give them your personal touch by customizing them with your message or logo! Just ask!

Mobile Power Generators

Say goodbye to any worry of a potential power-cut during your event! Either because of an unexpected one in the district, or due to a potentially unreliable or insufficient power supply at your home or venue.

The best mobile generators in the country are at your disposal. Highly efficient, extremely reliable and, of course, sound-insulated. Available in all sizes, for all power-supply levels and will reach any part of Greece that they are needed at.

Insurance first. Let’s plan it ahead!

Decorators & Florists

Embellishing your venue with florals, greenery, drapes, props and other decorative intricacies will bestow uniqueness to the occasion. Gift it character and narrate a tale of their own. Whether sprinkled with discreet ornaments at the right places, or emphatically adorned with more evident decor, props and florals that “take over”, they will create their own poetry.

The decorators and florists we work with are known for their chicness and touch. They will add the finishing strokes to your event’s look and, with them, change everything.

How much is up to you.

What we’ll do it is give them the light! 😉

Bartending Services

Some people are meant to be behind bars! 🙃 It’s an innate talent. We’ll bring you the best of them.

There’s nothing like that first sip that makes you smile. That first “I like this” is a passing thought. But one that you will then carry in the “background”, and one which makes you decide to stay upon walking in.

Even before we do. 😉

Champagne, wine and, beyond the classics, signature cocktails. All there to delight you and make you want more.

But it’s more than just flavor finesse in the glass. The presentation is half the job. Of  the cocktails and of the staff. Politeness, efficiency and professionalism is as important as the renowned talent of our partner mixologists. They’ll bring all of this to the “table”. To the bar.

Sit back and we’ll arrange it for you. All you need to do it taste and choose.

Catering

Have you ever noticed that the same wine may taste far better at certain restaurants than it does at home? Of course you have. This is not a mystery. The experience you are given as a whole heightens your enjoyment of everything. Including and especially taste. Like when in love! 😊

This is what our top-tier catering specialists will provide for you. At your home or venue of choice. It’s far beyond food served on your plate. It goes well over standard expectations. It will be you embarking on a journey of culinary excellence. 

Sourcing only the finest and freshest ingredients, and fueled by their passion of crafting immersive experiences that inspire the individual palate, they have redefined the standard of an exceptional cuisine. They work tirelessly to create exquisite flavors and engaging presentations that are reflective of each client’s vision.

Greek, Italian, Japanese, Mexican, Chinese, French as well as fusional variations of, and between, each are only some of the gastronomies they offer.

Let’s talk about what you like, and we’ll take you to the best.

Printing & Sign posts

Is there a point to printed invitations anymore? Functionally, no.

Digital ones are far more efficient, reach the recipient immediately, and open a real-time and costless communication channel up for any changes or updates regarding the event that you may need to convey right away.

So why print?

Well, nothing beats the sensation of touch and feel. It’s real. Plain and simple.

When your invitees receive their luxurious invitations, the experience feels more personal and intimate. That more effort has been put in than a common BCC’ed email in order to have you there. The gesture in itself radiates elegance and class. As will the quality and design of the card and envelope. 

Beyond invitations, paper-printed food and bar menus are a must. As are personally-named seating cards.

Other examples of print-requiring items, in the context of an event, are direction and area/station-labelling post signs, personalized acrylic dance floor and wall stickers et cetera.

Last, 3D printing options may include the construction of logo, slogan or message tangible display modules.

One way or another something will need to be printed! We’ll take care of this.

Valet Services

Taking care of, and facilitating, your attending guests’ overall experience needs not be limited to what you will offer them upon entering your home or chosen venue. Especially if your event is held in a busy area — in which car-parking is a particuarly daunting and enervating task — when, upon arrival, seeing that you have provided them with a valet service will be an immediate sigh of relief. An instant feeling of gratitude towards you.

It’s that extra touch. One that says that there will be no downside to today or tonight. That it will all be easy, and that all they actually need to do is “get there”. And then enjoy.

Our valet-service associates provide the most efficient car parking service in the city. Beyond offering speed and professionalism, their highly experienced staff is always very supportive, courteous and, of course, presentable.

Just ask us and we’ll make the arrangements for you.

Event Planners / Coordinators

An event, especially one of importance and/or with many attendees, needs efficient planning and exectution from the project’s planning phase. And then from start to finish.

Professionally-planned logistics demand that every single t and i is, respectively, crossed and dotted.

An event planner’s job is to find the correct venue that covers the specific event’s requirements, to coordinate all the vendors, to source those not yet on-board, set out a timetable and floor plan for everyone to adhere to.  To ensure that there are clear contingenccy plans, should any task fall out of their critical path model in order to make up for lost time, and that any subsequent activity overlaps be immediately re-coordinated, and corrective tweaks be implemented to achieve the required result. On time. Summarily, to streamline the entire project.

The planner’s responsibilities, though, go far beyond planning, overseeing and being the coordinating hub for all involved parties in the production itself. They are in charge of dispatching invitations, RSVP’s and post-event communication.

We have worked with the best, seen the results, and can safely vouch for their expertise, skill and professionalism.

Furniture & Prop Rentals

Whether for a lavish private event, or a notable corporate function, our furniture and prop rental associates offer an extensive collection of high-end event furniture to choose from.

This deep inventory of theirs includes chic seating, stunning tables, stylish bars, exquisite rugs, clean-cut podiums, captivating props and more. All unpretentiously charming. Chic.

The available styles range from formal, classic and modern, to luxurious, laid-back and rustic.

You and your event’s concept will be the ones to decide which tone best resonates with the setup’s character.

Their exquisite furnishings can only be matched by their impeccable and timely service.

What will be required of you is to choose. And that’s it.

Photographers / Videographers

They say that the first 10,000 photos we have shot are our worst. The truth is, more.

Most mobile devices of today can capture stills and video footage very close to the quality of nowadays’ professional cameras. Well, nearly. They can even shoot in high-info raw format to enable detailed post-editing.

The superior image quality of their devices, though, is not what these highly experienced professionals offer. A phone will not tell its holder where to stand and what to capture. Nor from what angle and at what moment. Experience and talent will. Nor will it tirelessly shoot for us throughout the event while we are busy enjoying it. Nor will we shoot over 4 times the amount of images, or video length, than we actually need in order to select the perfect moments in post production. A pro will do this.

And although auto settings available on everyone’s devices have, truly, made giant leaps over the last decade they do not have a specific end result in mind other than “looking good”. In short, they don’t adhere to a final plan other than producing, haphazard, “great shots”.

A professional will manually tweak the settings to adapt to changing lights and situations, always with a specific end-result in mind. What he will create. He is there to script a story. And will put it together and then deliver its narration to you after hours of artistic work in post production. This is what you will get.

After years in the field of events, we have seen thousands of photos and endless hours of footage. And have seen clear quality differences between photo and videographers’ productions. We have handpicked the finest. and this is who we will point you to.

Live Bands / Solo Performers

A live performer or band offers a completely different type of entertainment than a DJ does. We believe, and have thus far seen that a DJ — given that he is truly talented and can “read” the crowd well – has a clear advantage to a live performance with regards to fun.

Sound Systems

The exceptionally powerful sound systems that we use for the main event (or dance floor) areas — manufactured by the globally-acclaimed Electro Voice brand — will, apart from their renowned clarity of sound, deliver the necessary punch required to keep any party pumping! Well over and above this.

Their unmatched Sound Pressure Level yield (max dB SPL) — the correct metric of the sound level actually delivered to the crowd/audience — in all the speaker and subwoofer Wattage ranges we use, will guarantee the said punch.

In line with the above, our discreet, smaller-sized — albeit remarkably potent — peripheral speakers will ensure that all the surrounding areas are perfectly covered with a correspondingly crisp sound.

This is what is needed, and this what we like to call “crystal-clear havoc”! 😉

Leave the rest to our DJs.

Moving Lights

Our stunningly powerful professional lighting effects’ systems optically complement the music in any given event. Hand-in-hand with, and “following” it.

Moving lights are key to the overall vibe of a party, positively affecting and setting the mood. They create a visually imposing kinetic ambience which will exude an energy all of its own throughout the soiree, adding the finishing touch to the music’s effect.

Beam, Wash or Spot moving moving head types (or a combination of them) may be selected depending on the look you wish us to create for you. Each category produces a completely different lighting effect from the other, making the selection between them strictly a matter of personal preference and requirements.

The number of these lighting units that would be necessary for any given event will depend on how impressive a light show you wish us to create for the event/function that you will be hosting.

To further add to, or to “complete”, the light show, various types of light effect units are available and may be selected to accompany these professional rotating heads.

The use of air-opaqueness machines (hazer / smoke / low-fog units), used in conjunction with moving lights, is highly recommended in order to render the light show all the more breathtaking. By “thickening” the atmosphere at certain moments, the emitted light show beams become intensely visible along their lengths, thus transforming the environment to a vibrant surrounding of moving light beams penetrating the air above, around and through the crowd.

It’s still magic, even if you know how it’s done”. Terry Pratchett (A Hat Full of Sky)

Special Effects

The the fog-generating units (smoke / haze / low-fog machines) mentioned in the previous section are used to render the atmosphere more opaque at the required moments so as to intensify the light show’s effect. Thus boosting its “wow-factor”! 😉

Other units, such as dry ice machines, though will not assist in the light show per se (as their fog will never rise to thicken the air above), will instead create a theatrical floor-fog effect in order to draw attention to specific people, events, shows or props. Or to simply create an… eerie setting at certain moments of the soiree! The thick fog created by the sublimating dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) will dissipate in under a minute after each blast — never rising beyond knee-height — and will therefore never hide the persons, objects or activities being emphasized. Examples of use could the highlighting of a couple’s first dance, their entrance, a speaker, a musical performance, a crowd entertainer, an act or even a product presentation.

Our arsenal is packed with many more units that produce different amazing and fun effects such as foam or bubble machines, and confetti blasters.

Beyond these, we can offer anything else that you may wish — including firework shows — via our network of collaborators who specialize in the corresponding fields!

Decorative & Functional Venue Illumination

Natural White Garden Illumination

This type of lighting style flaunts the essence of the surroundings and accentuates the natural element of the environment.

When nature sets the stage we just turn the lights on 😉

Colorful Garden Illumination

An unnatural way to present the nature surrounding you. An illumination alternative for those who wish to retain the earthly setting’s  inherent beauty but offer it in a different hue for the soiree. Still beautiful, still natural, just different.

Mural Uplighting

Creating an enticing environment that whets the appetite for the party to follow — or to simply recast the ordinary appearance of the surroundings, gifting them an exotic character, for the occasion — we need color. The entire identity of the soiree can be set using wall-uplighting units.

Sea / Water Lighting

In many cases the illuminated sea will be the entire setting of an evening. Though a simple concept, lighting the sea floor up is undeniably the most impressive scenic touch that you add a your beachfront soiree. It’s there. So unveil it!

Ceiling / Gazebo / Tent and Canopy Uplighting

The reflection of colored light off a ceiling’s surface will hue the entire setting of your soiree held below it. Aesthetically warming and cooling it at the appropriate moments throughout the evening.

Floor Lighting

Creating an illuminated pathway that leads to your venue, optically guides the way to and from it. It makes for a warm and welcoming promenade. Floor beam stripes along the way, at any angle, make the path impressively inviting.

Custom Truss Constructions

Pre-designed 3D truss configurations

All the following trussing systems that we have designed for you are showcased here in order to give you a head-start in selecting yours.

They can all be further customized in shape and dimensions on request, while a completely different structure may be designed from scratch and built to accomodate very specific needs and tastes.

In addition to the main function of a trussing system, of elevating and suspending lighting and sound systems at their optimal heights, it optically defines the area which it encompasses or skirts.

Trussing constructions’ mini-gallery

In this section we exhibit certain event setups for which we built trussing structures. Different venues, different truss sizes and designs, different requirements.

Your construction may be of completely different in size and design to the ones portrayed here. Please see the 3D Pre-designed Truss  Configurations section for more ideas.

Truss illumination

Internally lighting and coloring the trussing system of your choice will make the structure even more imposing and prominent than it already is! It will boast the meshed aluminum tubing’s beauty by gifting it color and brightness.

Some who would prefer not leave it as is, may opt to mask it by either draping it with stretch cloths; or even by covering it with planks or mirrors. Others like to adorn it with florals and greenery and take advantage of the framework it creates to affix them. But many want to, instead, flaunt it. To emphasize and show it off.

Internally flooding its metallic mesh with colored light transforms the construction into a work of art.

Truss adornment / afforestation ideas & alternative applications

Beyond creating an elevated structure on which lighting and sound systems may be suspended from, a trussing system can provide the framework from which greenery, cloths, ornaments, props, etc. may be also hung.

The following images have been ‘borrowed” from random event productions  around the globe. They are displayed here only in order to help you envision what we can create for you in collaboration with our partners (florists, decorators and furniture and prop renting companies).

Event videos (trussing benefits)

The short-lengthed video linked below showcases what having moving lighting units suspended directly above the crowd can offer you. How much more impressive it is to have moving light beams freely and “uninterruptedly” flow above and through the crowd without them being restricted to a one-sided emission as is achieved when using lighting stands.

When suspension points for lighting units are already available in a given venue, a trussing system can be forgone as it will not be — functionally — necessary. When they are not, it creates them for you. Just pick a design and we’ll build it!

DJ Performance

The sound may be powerful and crisp, the lighting effects breathtaking, the venue illumination mesmerizing, the constructions imposing and eye-catching and everything may run smoothly. As they all should. And will. Leave that to us.

Even the decor, food, drinks and cocktails may be to “write home about”. At the end of the day, though, what everyone will remember is the time they had. This rests in the hands of our DJs and/or live performers. Along with the event’s AV production, that is our job, and our responsibility. And we do this well.

H+Co Parties Et Cetera was formed exactly because of the extremely high demand for our DJs. Our highly-demanding client niche has always trusted us with their special evening, or daytime, events. This one person behind the decks is the one who will make yours a day to remember. But you already know this.

As music is the root of our success in AV event productions today — as this is where it all started from — we place the same exact importance to our DJ team’s talent as we do to the quality of our productions.

In short: you are in good hands! 🙂
