Gavin MacDonell started

Through the Looking Glass in May 2002,

After an eternity providing services for Sanctuary Cove and the Staging Dimensions,

sensing a need for a customer focussed themeing company with experience, professionalism, creativity, and an innovative approach.

Gavin has worked in the event production and themeing industry nationally and internationally for two decades and has experience in all of its facets.

In 2007 Scott Hampson joined

Testimonials

When in comes to event themeing and support, Gavin MacDonell and his team at Through the Looking Glass have been my personal number one choice. Over the last 8 years I have called upon the team whilst at Suncorp and now at Restaurant & Catering Queensland due to their artistic brilliance and professionalism. Given a tight budget to work with, Gavin and his team were able to provide us with a spectacular themed room for our National Restaurant & Catering Awards night at Coolum in 2004. We look forward to continuing our relationship with Gavin and his team in our future events.   Kathy Crameri Membership Marketing Manager Restaurant & Catering Queensland

After several years of working with Through the Looking Glass, it is always great to sit back and reflect on ones achievement. Winning first place for “Riverfeast – Dinner on the Bridge” two times and runner up two times over a six year period along with winning first place for “Riverfeast – Table Decorating” two times comes as no mean feet. With many years of creating different themes and atmosphere for corporate Christmas parties and conferences “Through the Looking Glass” has always produced a theme that keeps blowing people away when they walked into their room. Guys I can only thank you for all of your creativity, personality and true support over these past seven years – you are one in a million!!
