What It Takes to Build a Gala for 2,000 Guests
Behind the Scenes with LEVE Group & Magellan Community Foundation
Last weekend’s Brick by Brick Gala was more than an event, it was the result of 3 months of planning, coordination, and collaboration with extraordinary teams who brought one shared vision to life.
At LEVE Group, our role was to design the full event planning strategy and lead the ex*****on with intention, structure, and heart. From the first meeting to the final spotlight cue, our focus was simple: create an unforgettable experience that honoured the mission of Magellan and the community it serves.
Here’s what went into making it happen:
A Clear Event Blueprint
Run of show, floor plans, vendor coordination, timing, flow, seating maps, backstage management, every detail had a home, a timeline, and a purpose.
Collaboration With Incredible Teams
Working alongside Magellan, LiUNA, Europa Catering, ACS Productions, security, ambassadors, volunteers, photographers, decor teams, entertainment, and sponsors was truly inspiring. Every group had a crucial role, and together, we created a seamless guest experience for the 2,000 attendees.
Speaker & Stage Management
From script direction to cueing, managing transitions, and supporting presenters, the stage became a place where stories were shared with impact.
Logistics, Coordination & Problem-Solving
Event planning is mastering the art of calm in the middle of movement. From adjusting last-minute needs to ensuring every team was aligned, LEVE Group ensured that the right people, information, and energy were where they needed to be.
The Heart of It All
At the core of this gala was community. Families, leaders, partners, and supporters gathering with one purpose, to build a stronger future, brick by brick.
To Magellan and to every single person and team involved: thank you. Thank you for trusting LEVE Group to guide this vision and for working side by side with such professionalis my and passion.
This gala was proof that when structure meets purpose, excellence becomes inevitable.
