"Every Step Together, A Blessing Forward"
OCBC invites its most valued clients to walk the Golden Prosperity Pathway — a cultural journey where ancient CNY blessings are personalized by master artisans, transforming the evening into a treasured family heirloom experience.
Imagine stepping from Jakarta's modern skyline into an intimate Indonesian-Chinese ancestral home during CNY eve — but elevated to museum-grade artistry. Rich burgundy and antique gold fabrics drape softly, creating warm enclaves. Handcrafted paper lanterns glow amber. Scent of osmanthus tea and fresh tangerines. Sound of guzheng strings plucked softly. The ballroom doesn't feel like a ballroom — it feels like 600 guests have been welcomed into OCBC's family home for the most treasured night of the year.
Deep burgundy + antique gold + warm wood tones (not bright red/shiny gold)
Silk, velvet, rice paper, bamboo, lacquered wood
Warm amber glow (candlelight feel, never harsh white)
Heritage artifacts (vintage abacus, calligraphy scrolls, prosperity trees with real tangerines)
Indonesian-Chinese home CNY traditions (fei chun, angpao trees, ancestral altar reimagined)
Upon arrival, each guest receives a golden prosperity passport — a premium red booklet embossed with their name in calligraphy. They embark on a 5-station cultural journey through the foyer, meeting master artisans.
Guests arrive at hotel entrance transformed into CNY prosperity gate — twin 12-ft gold-leafed pillars wrapped in silk, flanked by traditional lion dancers (live, not static). Red carpet leads through foyer doors.
At check-in, guest's name is called by heritage host in traditional qipao/changshan. They're handed their golden prosperity passport (embossed with their name). Host whispers: 'Your fortune pathway awaits — may each step bring blessings.'
Emotional Note: Curiosity + anticipation. Guests realize this isn't typical bank event.
Grand foyer transformed into 5 intimate artisan studios — each a 10x10ft enclave with warm lighting, cultural artifacts, master craftsperson at work.
Station 1 (Fortune): Guest learns Year of Horse 2026 fortune, receives first passport stamp. Station 2 (Calligraphy): Watches elder's brush dance across silk, name transformed into art. Station 3 (Paper-Cutting): Witnesses scissors transform paper into family zodiac. Station 4 (Tea Ceremony): Experiences ritual blessing, savors rare tea. Station 5 (Seal Carving): Hears tap-tap-tap of chisel, receives personalized seal. Peak: All treasures arranged in lacquered box with CEO's handwritten card.
Emotional Note: Wonder → gratitude → 'I'm truly valued here.'
Ballroom revealed — not vast and cold, but divided into 6 intimate 'family rooms' via 8-ft floral walls, warm amber lighting, silk draping lowering ceiling feel. Feels like 6 separate CNY reunion dinners happening simultaneously.
Mid-dinner, synchronized prosperity blessing ritual: MC (cultural elder, not corporate host) invites all to stand. Traditional drumming begins. All raise champagne: 'Terus Bersama, Melaju Jauh!' Lights shift warm gold, blessing chant spoken, collective toast. Farewell zone — guests collect prosperity boxes, photo moments in heritage-inspired alcoves, depart through lantern-lined exit.
Emotional Note: Fullness, gratitude, anticipation for next year.
