Firstly what theme to pick to create the ultimate New Years Eve celebration? well then let Gersch & Rox help a little as we present the Top 10 New Years Eve ideas:
Set sail into the New Year on a sea-life, nautical adventure! Life on the high seas is a thrill ride and a nautical themed New Years Eve party is a real splash of creativity! Want to live your Mermaid dream? Love a good ol knees up and party with Pirates? This theme is a great alternative idea to New Year’s Eve parties and encourages guests to dress in their finest clobber. Like stepping foot on the Titantic. Live out voguing sailor dreams or feel like they are in a Wes Anderson film.
From Mermaids to Pirates and Sailor boys to Tropical show girls. Be the captain of the deck and when the clock strikes midnight witness incredible pirate fire performances to ring in the New Year. A nautical ocean themed event will send your guests on a voyage leaving them thirsty for more. We tailored an aquatic themed New Years party for White City House in 2018 and it went down a splash (see more here)
Venture into a garden of mystical and earthly delights. As you choose a Mystical New Years Eve party, a new world of wonder awaits. Elfin and Pixie like characters, Flower Faeries and en-pointe ballet dancers will bring out the Arthur Rackham in your guests.
Enchanting them to follow each fairy will take a person to another fairy and give them a surprise, a petal/ a poem/ a feather. The fairies can read palms, feel auras and tell the future. Get ready to ring in the New Year with a Mystical tree man with swagger and charm. Leading games and sitting down to play a hand of poker with whomever crosses his path off carefully laid twigs and branches. The mystical New Years Eve Party is a wonderfully alternative way to start the New Year.
As we enter the roaring twenties, 100 years ago alcohol was prohibited and deemed a menace in society. Now there’s a new devil, social media! On New Year’s Eve enter a modern-day Prohibition. As social media is outlawed and guests step into a Dystopian Orwell’s Big Brother future. Phones are banned and anyone caught with one will be publicly humiliated by the phone police. Captured and thrown in to social media prison. Run by social media mobsters this New Years Eve Theme is a tech saloon of hedonistic delights.
An underground Neon party. With caged go-go dancers hooked into VR machines. Performers gather together to follow guests and create conga line. A social media ‘nerd’ sticks verified sticker ticks on people as if liking them on Facebook. A people’s corner where performers one by one stand on a plinth and give their ‘news’ as if it’s been banned on social media. On stage and on the dance floor mixed cabaret performances from a performing Emoji to Let Me Take a Selfie Burlesque dancers perform. This is a modern day spin on the Prohibition theme perfect for a New Years Eve party.

Outrageous. Era-defining. Legendary. Studio 54 is the Party at the mecca of disco culture, the notorious 1970s New York nightclub Studio 54.

With Studio 54 expect the unexpected. Disco glam all the way we have an array of exotic performers to include towering 7ft tall disco drag queens, roller skating double Afro girls, the white horse act itself with LED performance, disco space GoGo dancers and of course a choreographed neon disco troupe!
