"I believe that you and your team have delivered a splendid product in the organisation of our opening parties. Thoroughly professional. Well done!"
"Your wide range of ideas and creativity, especially faced with our budget constraints and conservatism, was greatly appreciated and the smooth run-up and delivery of the event was a true reflection of this."
"Many thanks are due from the Barclays team for hosting the very successful golf event. Colin came up trumps and also provided some imaginative prizes! I am already looking forward to next year's anniversary event."
"It was the biggest event we have thrown in our history and everything was superb. So far I have only received 440 letters of appreciation. I suppose the other 10 will follow shortly. It was a triumph and entirely due to your professionalism, creativity and organisational expertise."
"Your meticulous attention to detail resulted in a truly magnificent evening and I know that I and my colleagues are extremely grateful to you for making such a special occasion for us so memorable."
"Thank you so much for all that you provided for the Golden Wedding Ball. It was a simply marvellous occasion and your contribution was considerable. Despite my alterations at the last minute, you took it in your stride and you only had to look at the faces of the guests to see how successful you were."
“On behalf of the Conservative Party, I would like to thank you very much for all your hard work in ensuring that our Ball was so well planned and orchestrated. With your professional help, we were able to raise significant funds to enable us to continue to fight successful campaigns in the future. Once again I would like to thank you for your time and generosity.”
“I am writing to thank you for all your hard work with the lighting and sound requirements for the Clic Sargent ‘Night of the Stars Ball’ last Friday. With your help I am delighted to report that the evening raised in excess of £100,000 to support Clic Sargent’s core services. Thank you for your support for the charity, it is very much appreciated and I have really enjoyed working with you.”
"Many thanks for arranging such a successful day. Everyone was extremely complementary about your professional handling of the event."
“This is just a note to say thank you for all that you and your team did on the night to make the evening such a success. There were many comments about how wonderful the marquee looked and how good the band and discotheque were. Thank you too for your patience with my less than perfect grasp of electrics – I now understand about 100% more than I did!”
"I would like to express my sincere thanks for the magnificent effort put in by you in ensuring that the events arranged for Seat and Volkswagen were such a tremendous success. We were very pleased with the end result and felt that the atmosphere created bore testimony to your efforts. It has been a pleasure working with you and hope that we can do so again in the near future."
"I was very grateful for your considerable involvement throughout the preparation of this great occasion. It was very helpful to have your good advice and counsel all along. On the night itself, the Royal Albert Hall made a superb setting for this Anniversary with your attractive technical augmentations. There are not many schools who could have attempted such a performance and attracted a full house in the Royal Albert Hall. Thank you for your help in making this happen."
“This is just a short note to say thank you for helping us achieve another great success at the Fete Champetre event again this year. As usual, the dancefloor was busy all night long!”
"I would like to thank you very much for your wonderful contribution to making our opening party such a success. Your ideas and implementation thereof ensured that the official opening of our new London office was a great success and will be remembered by all who attended for a long time."
"The HR Owen 65th celebration parties were outstanding. We could not believe the transformation of the party venue in South Kensington and everything ran quite beautifully with you fully orchestrating the operation."
“Many thanks for all your sterling efforts in making our 40th Anniversary Party at the Royal Hospital, Chelsea the undoubted success that it was.”
"I feel that you should take all the credit for this and it was just another example of how well you put this sort of show on. Well done,thank you and I hope it is not the last time we can call upon you."
"Many thanks for all your hard work and organisation in respect of our Away Day. The feedback has been excellent and the participants really enjoyed the day."
“Thank you very much indeed for everything that you did for us. The launch party was undoubtedly a splendid success and as a result we have the strongest possible springboard for marketing the facilities that we have. Without you it wouldn’t have happened in the same way, if at all. The smooth running of the evening and the quality of the event sprang from your very high standards which we must maintain.”
"Thank you very much again for organising such a good evening. Everybody says it was the best yet. I look forward to working with you again next year and we will have to put our thinking caps on for another good venue."
"Thank you so much for your letter and I am delighted that you are able to assist HRH The Prince of Wales on the 31st July 1998."
“Thank goodness we had such a professional on the job last night at Lord’s as you and MacEvents. It was interesting to see the enthusiasm of our Guests for the Nursery Pavilion, set so carefully by you in splendid lighting and table arrangements. Your advice was spot on all along and many thanks to you all at MacEvents for all your help.”
"A great deal of the credit is due to your detailed preparation and organisation. Your advice on all aspects of the evening was extremely sound. It was an enormous success and much enjoyed by everyone."
PRESS COMMENT
"Colin MacGregor and his team are super efficient and brilliantly imaginative. They have not fallen into the trap of having a look. Each party they do has an individual style, and having been to more than one or two parties in the past couple of years, I still can't spot a MacEvents party."

'Scarlet and Black' themed Private Party,
at L'Equipe Anglaise, London
"MacEvents has made a name for itself for flair and sensuous detail - a recent reception at the Chelsea Physic Garden used fresh herbs in the flower arrangements; each table had the name of a herb and the scent of rosemary floated in the air. This year at a 'Scarlet and Black' party, a model appeared painted as a red and black horned devil; guests drank Raspberry Martinis and artificial red flames shot up five feet. "You can't deny the creativity of the Client, but you can inspire them," says Colin MacGregor. The company is run by a team of four. Go to MacEvents for a daring approach."

Editor-in-Chief's Letter
"The dinner dance at the newly restored Windsor Castle, was a fitting culmination of the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh's Golden Wedding celebrations and was considered by everyone fortunate enough to be invited, to be a tremendous success.In the Queen's Guard Chamber, the MacGregor Discotheque belted out the greatest hits of the decade, whilst the 'What Next!' band played classic rock 'n' roll numbers in the Waterloo Chamber - one of the few State Rooms that was relatively undamaged by the 1992 fire.
Despite the grandeur of the guests, it was said to be the most relaxed and informal gathering of royalty that anyone can remember which was exactly what the Queen had hoped for..."Ingrid Seward - Majesty Magazine
