When Ghanaian business magnate Ernest Ofori Sarpong celebrated his 60th birthday on May 5, 2026, the evening became far more than a birthday party. It unfolded as a cinematic experience layered with luxury, performance, emotion, and immersive design. At the center of that transformation was INEN Limited, led by renowned event designer Christal Beeko.
Hosted at the iconic Despite Automobile Museum, the celebration quickly became one of the most talked-about private events of the year, dominating social media timelines with breathtaking visuals, celebrity performances, and unforgettable production moments.
But beyond the fireworks and star-studded guest list was a carefully orchestrated design story crafted by INEN Events.
A Venue Reimagined Through Luxury Design
From the moment guests arrived, the experience felt intentional.
The entrance featured a black carpet arrival framed by a luxury photo backdrop, immediately setting the tone for the evening. Live saxophone melodies floated through the air while aquatic dancers performed inside the fountains closest to the main building, transforming the museum exterior into a theatrical dreamscape. Along the long fountain runway, fire spitters created bursts of flame that illuminated the arrival path with dramatic flair.
Inside, the décor embraced a refined gold-themed aesthetic layered with modern elegance. Lavish floral installations, ambient lighting, candlelit tablescapes, and elevated staging transformed the venue into a luxury celebration environment worthy of the milestone.
Every detail carried the signature of intentional storytelling.
Entertainment as Living Décor
What distinguished the event was how entertainment became part of the visual architecture itself.
Rather than separating décor from performance, INEN fused both elements into one continuous sensory experience.
During cocktail hour on the museum’s second floor, guests interacted with silver-themed performers including a “living statue” holding a glowing “Happy Birthday” sign, silver dress dancers, and towering stilt walkers who moved through the crowd like sculptural art pieces.
Guests were then ushered into the main hall table by table through curated pathways accompanied by live guitar melodies, creating an elegant transition into the grand dining experience.
As attendees entered the seating area, pedestal dancers welcomed them while rooftop dancers performed above the glass structure, creating movement both within and above the room. The effect was immersive, almost cinematic, giving guests the feeling of stepping inside a luxury production rather than attending a conventional birthday celebration.
A Carefully Layered Celebration Experience
The evening’s programming flowed with precision.
The celebration opened with the grand entrance of Dr. Ofori Sarpong and his family, followed by emotional tribute speeches from family, friends, and PRESEC representatives. Shortly after, the energy shifted as DJ Vyrusky launched the first dance segment of the night.
From there, the event evolved into a full-scale entertainment showcase.
Samba dancers energized the crowd before live performances from Akwaboah and Kwabena Kwabena filled the venue with soulful highlife sounds. Throughout dinner service, guests enjoyed curated cuisine from Food Bank Ghana and Menscookgh while live music continued in the background.
One of the most memorable moments came during the cake-cutting ceremony. With celebratory flares lighting the room and music swelling across the venue, the atmosphere became electric. The emotional high continued as performances from Becca, Kojo Antwi, Samini, and Stonebwoy turned the night into a full celebration concert experience.
The Rolls-Royce Reveal and Fireworks Finale
Among the night’s biggest highlights was the unveiling of a customized 2026 Rolls-Royce Cullinan Mansory edition, which immediately became one of the event’s most viral moments online.
As midnight approached, guests were guided outdoors for a grand fireworks display that crowned the evening with explosive brilliance. Music swelled, cameras flashed, and the sky above the museum became the final canvas of the night.
A Defining Moment for Luxury Events in Ghana
Social media reactions following the event praised not only the scale of the celebration, but the level of sophistication behind its execution. Many described the birthday as one of the most luxurious private events Ghana has seen in recent years.
For INEN Events (www.inenportfolio.com), the celebration represented more than event planning. It was an exercise in immersive storytelling, experiential design, and luxury production.
Under Christal Beeko’s creative leadership, the team transformed a milestone birthday into a multi-sensory experience where décor, entertainment, lighting, music, and movement worked together seamlessly.
At the Despite Automobile Museum, every corner told a story. Every transition carried intention. And every guest became part of the spectacle.
