-
Dear Friends,

Just in time for Thanksgiving, we got really happy news and a lot of reasons to be thankful!

EventWorks secured nominations in four categories for the 2011 Special Events Gala Awards.




Our nominations are:

BEST ACHIEVEMENT IN TECHNICAL SUPPORT
"Solutions: Spirit of the Entrepreneur"
Technical Director Ted Bowers and his team, including Greg Holford, Greg Russell and Marcelo Cruz, pioneered 360° degree video projection, bringing the rock arena technology to the meeting room.


BEST DECOR: BUDGET UNDER $20,000
"Legends Gala"
Katie Rogers and Kate Brack worked wonders, re-purposing almost everything in items and decor from a multi-day program to create a glamorous Closing Event in Las Vegas. We worked "green" on so many levels.


BEST DECOR: BUDGET $20,000 TO $49,999
EventWorks, Los Angeles, and Kuoni, Scottsdale, Ariz.
"Alice in Wonderland"
Melissa Yan Armstrong's cooperation with Jill Philipe and her team at Kuoni Scottsdale; combined with Director of Floral and Event Design Kate Brack's knack for turning the vision into reality turned the hotel grounds into the whimsical Wonderland.

BEST DECOR: BUDGET $50,000 TO $150,000
"Food and Wine Experience"
Katie Rogers and Kate Brack turned a Las Vegas ballroom into a gastronomic fantasy and created the illusion of attending four elegant, exclusive, separate restaurants.


Janet Elkins: "We are thrilled and grateful beyond belief to see our hard work recognized by our peers. We are honored to be included in such an illustrious list of international nominees for such a prestigious award! Thanksgiving is still a week away but my personal Thank You goes to everyone here at EventWorks! This would not happen were it not for the dedication, commitment, talent and creativity of everyone on my team, from front desk to warehouse. We are also extremely thankful for our wonderful collaborators, from clients to vendors and location staff. Thank You!"

And you guessed it, we are dancing down the hallway and EventWorks canines Chewy and Beatrice are wagging their tails extra hard!

Please see all the nominations on TSE's website.

Site Report from The Fabulous Forum in Inglewood

We recently had a Fabulous Tour of the Fabulous Forum, courtesy of our friend Jill Przelenski, Director, Special Events & Family Entertainment. In a nutshell: the re-invented Forum deserves the media hype it received. Eagles' Glenn Frey exclaimed: “The Forum is the best sounding large building anywhere in the world. Take my word for it, we’ve played them all.” It also offers exquisite event space possibilities that allow us to create a VIP Experience of any size! The legendary Forum Club serves as special entrance for private and corporate events. It's a VIP Experience from the first moment onward as this area has special parking privileges and street access.  Painting and maintenance crews were hard at work inside and outside of  the new hall that reopened in January 2014.  Jill Przelenski: "We don't allow any wear and tear. Paint, carpets, furnishings - everything gets lots of attention and is constantly updated." Forum Red, inspire

San Luis Obispo Museum of Art - wrapped in The Red Line by Doron Gazit. Since we last checked in with Doron Gazit, the artist and industrial designer has lined multiple locations in California with The Red Line and his art work is currently on exhibit at the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art as well as The Loft at Liz's in Los Angeles. He is being mentioned in one breath with Cristo! We look forward to working with Doron to wrap an environmentally themed event. We were happy to report on The Red Line at the Dead Sea in September 2015. In the 8 months since, Doron has installed his environmental awareness art project in several locations in drought ravaged California. As always The Red Line concept highlights the impact of Global Warming on the environment. In December of 2015, The Red Line snaked through the Pyramid Lake burn area, just North of Los Angeles. Doron Gazit: "After my Red Line installation in the sinkholes of the Dead Sea, I continued to draw the line

Love was on the air last night on ABC's 20th Anniversary Valentine's Day Special of The Bachelor; also covered by People Magazine. The floral decor was designed and created by none other than our floral designer Rebecca Fernandez Motus. We are really proud of Rebecca Motus' achievement: designing and creating all the florals for this primetime TV event! Rebecca: "I met the producers of the show through a friend who recommended me when they were looking for a designer to create the floral decor for this 20th anniversary extravaganza. It was a wonderful opportunity to show my work to millions of people. The special was filmed at the St. Regis Monarch Beach and as everything in television, it took many, many hours to produce this 2-hour special. I spent five days on set, building the floral decor. And those 5 nights were pretty much sleepless. Many days we worked until midnight and I had to get to the Downtown Flower Market by 3AM to get fresh flowers. However, des
