CNVS Event Space, New York City
Concept: To introduce the events and wedding industry to Neuman’s Kitchens international menus with Goan Chef Floyd Cardoz. This launch event happened at the end of a six-month PR campaign and was designed to showcase the new partnership between Neuman’s Kitchen catering and Top Chef Masters winner Chef Floyd Cardoz. The invitation was designed as a “royal invite” hinting that guests will be transported to another world where culinary ambassadors from around the world are gathering at a royal court of India. On the day of the event, guests entered the unassuming pre-function space at CNVS which had a nondescript bar, live guitar player and a step and repeat. Soon, a drummer started banging his drum and guests were led to the big reveal into the main space were they were immediately transformed to a royal palace in India, complete with a street bazaar offering guests spices, popcorn, bangles, paan and henna. The space was transformed with floor to ceiling video mapping and modern Indian palatial decor. Inside, live food stations highlighted the celebrated cuisine of Chef Cardoz will other stations served Neuman’s Kitchen’s other international dishes.
