## **💫 How It All Began**

💫 **When a team flies in from across the world, the last evening together is the one everyone remembers.** More and more companies are choosing a venue with real character for it: in this case, a genuine Parisian apartment. The intimacy of a dinner at home, the elegance of an exceptional interior, and a private setting few addresses can offer.

That was exactly the thinking behind this booking. The Netflix team was bringing 25 people together in Paris for their annual offsite, and wanted to round it off with a dinner that felt unmistakably Parisian.

## **📋 The Brief**

- 25 guests, a team spread across the globe, in Paris for their annual offsite
- A central location, close to Opéra, with a little flexibility on travel time
- A relaxed, convivial dinner rather than a formal venue: the feel of a close friend hosting you at home for a beautiful dinner
- The freedom to choose the format, from a seated dinner to canapés and cocktails
- Music, at an easy dinner-party volume
- An evening that runs late

## 🥂 The Chosen Venue: a 180m² Apartment in Le Marais

[**Discover our Paris venues for private dinners and team offsites →**](https://native-spaces.com/search/seminar/paris)

We proposed a 180m² apartment set inside a Régence-style townhouse, right in Le Marais and a few minutes from Opéra. A genuine Parisian apartment, full of character: 18th-century wood panelling, oak parquet, black marble and gilded detailing, all lifted by high ceilings and natural light.

What made it the right fit is that it lends itself to any format. The layout is modular: the apartment can host a seated dinner for the 25 guests, a more relaxed gathering around the lounges and living areas, or a cocktail evening where everyone moves freely from room to room. A 35m² terrace opens off the back, perfect for stepping out for some air with a glass in hand, and music is welcome at an easy dinner-party volume.

## **✨ How It Came Together**

This one was hands-on from our side. We pulled together a shortlist of apartments that fit the brief, arranged viewings around the team's schedule while they were in Paris, and answered every question on terms, timings and logistics as it came up. The decision was easy, and the booking quick.

## 💫 How It All Began

During the Cannes Film Festival, the Croisette becomes one of the most sought-after spots in the events world. Brands don't just want a room. They want somewhere special, a place guests remember long after the last glass is poured. That was exactly the brief from the team behind Bodvar, who came to Native Spaces to showcase their rosé at a VIP event, in front of an audience of celebrities, influencers and press.

## 📋 The Brief

- A cocktail reception during the Film Festival for around 125 guests
- A beachfront setting, right on the Croisette
- An afternoon slot with enough time for setup and breakdown
- Light passed and stationed canapés
- The freedom to pour and showcase the brand's own rosé
- Room for a branded photocall and a short live performance

## 🥂 The Chosen Venue: A Private Beach on the Croisette

[Discover our Cannes venues for brand activations](https://native-spaces.com/search/cannes)

Some venues you have to dress up. This one you don't. Set on the legendary 3.14 beach on the Croisette, it is a hacienda with its feet in the sand: white sails moving in the breeze, plant-filled corners, South American craftwork and a Colombian-inspired kitchen led by chef Juan Arbelaez. The sea on one side, the festival buzz on the other. For a summer rosé brand that wants to be seen, the backdrop sells itself.

And it delivered on every line of the brief. The team confirmed the afternoon slot with the setup and breakdown windows the production needed, the kitchen put together a curated selection of canapés to pass among guests, and the space comfortably held a branded photocall and a live set. Because the brand wanted to serve its own rosé, the venue coordinated the wine delivery and on-site storage ahead of time, so everything was chilled and ready when doors opened.

## ✨ How It Came Together

An activation like this has a lot of moving parts, and three sides to keep aligned: the producer, the brand founder and the beach team. Sonja, their account manager, sat in the middle of all of it. She arranged a site visit so the client could see the space before committing, ran the day-of logistics from wine storage to the live performance, connected the team with a trusted production partner for the stage, and made sure the timing worked for everyone so the brand had the full setup and breakdown it needed. By the time guests arrived on the Croisette, the only thing left to do was open the rosé.

## 💫 How It All Began

The French Open turns Paris into a magnet for brands, and the sharper ones have understood it: the experience doesn't have to start in the stands. More and more companies are choosing a venue of their own to bring guests together before the main event, somewhere with character that feels like them, rather than a standard hospitality box.

That's exactly the idea behind this project. Marathon Studio, a creative production studio reached out to us because they wanted to put on a private cocktail and lounge space for a sportswear brand, gathering around fifty guests for a drink before heading to Roland Garros for the evening.

## 📋 The Brief

- A private cocktail and lounge space for around fifty guests
- A traditional, unfurnished Paris apartment the brand could adapt to its image
- Easy access to Roland Garros, where guests would head afterwards
- Room for a set design team to install its own furniture and decor

## 🥂 The Chosen Venue

[Discover our Paris venues for cocktails →](https://native-spaces.com/search/cocktail/paris)

We found a Haussmann apartment a short walk from the Arc de Triomphe, with quick access across to Roland Garros. A venue with high ceilings, parquet floors, mouldings and beautiful natural light.

What made it the right choice was the freedom it offered to lay it out from scratch. The apartment was a blank canvas, ready to take the set design team's furniture and decor with nothing to work around: exactly the point of an unfurnished venue. The host first welcomed the client for an initial visit, then opened the doors again to the catering and set design teams to plan their setup, staying flexible on early-morning load-in to give the production schedule room to breathe.

![Elegant Parisian Haussmann Apartment for Events](https://upcdn.io/FW25bqJ/raw/blog/619/8683.png)

## ✨ How It Came Together

Behind a cocktail that looks simple sat a lot of moving parts: a host, a catering partner, a set design team and a production studio, all working to the same tight window. Our team stayed at the centre of it, coordinating the visits, settling the load-in and load-out timing, arranging an optional exterior lift for the heaviest pieces, and taking care of the contract, invoicing and insurance, so the client could keep her energy where it truly counts: the brand and the guest experience.

The result: a venue true to the brief on character, capacity and location, booked and organised end to end on the platform.

How Native Spaces orchestrated a private cocktail for a sportswear brand during the French Open, in an unfurnished Haussmann apartment in Paris.

A Cocktail During the French Open in a Paris Haussmann Apartment

## 💫 How It All Started

When Milo Tours came to Native Spaces, they had a clear vision: an exclusive cocktail dinner for a group of insurance industry guests in Nice, combining premium gastronomy, open-air atmosphere, and a venue with genuine wow factor.

## 📋 The Brief

Here's what they needed:

- Exclusive privatisation of an outdoor rooftop
- Minimum 150 guests
- Full cocktail dinner with culinary stations (oyster bar, pasta station, salad bar for vegetarian guests) and canapés
- Open bar including premium spirits and long drinks
- Sound system and microphone for a speech
- A luxurious venue

## 🏙️ The Chosen Venue

They chose one of the most breathtaking outdoor event spaces on the French Riviera: a luxury rooftop terrace in Nice.

Situated on a restored Belle Époque landmark right in the heart of Nice, facing Jardin Albert 1er and steps from the Promenade des Anglais. The rooftop terrace offers 360-degree panoramic views over the city and the Baie des Anges. It's the kind of setting that makes a corporate dinner feel truly extraordinary.

For Milo Tours' event, the terrace was privatised exclusively. The culinary programme was built around the group's exact requests: oyster bar, pasta in a cheese wheel, a 10-piece canapé selection, and a full salad bar. The open bar covered wines, beers, spirits, and a full long drink menu. A microphone and speakers were arranged for the speech.

Every detail was handled directly with the venue's events team, with Sonja from Native Spaces facilitating introductions and following up on logistics.

## 🎉 How It Went

They came with a specific vision for a high-end group evening, and the venue delivered exactly that. From the initial venue proposal to contract signature and payment, the team was responsive, flexible, and thorough.
