Ted Bowers, Greg Holford, Kristen Rensch, Brynne Price, Janet Elkins, Kate Brack.

We are so thrilled and grateful to have been honored with a Gala Award for Best Event Entertainment Concept and Execution: Budget Above $100,000 for "the Sky is the Limit", the re-opening of the Pacific Ballroom in Long Beach, CA.


But we also had a wonderful time at last week's The Special Event Conference in Anaheim, CA, meeting colleagues, making friends, exchanging ideas, and learning about new trends and technologies.

Time well spend to recharge our professional batteries!



As Conference Ambassador I was happy to greet and welcome all of the attendees to a sunny, record-breaking warm Orange County, CA.

Thank you for attending our work shop, "Sales Strategies: How to Increase Sales and Maintain a Competitive Edge".
Our panel consisted of EventWorks' Janet Elkins and Kristen Rensch, Kathy Miller from Total Event Resources, Connie Riley from T. Skorman Productions who stepped in for last minute prevented Dianne Devitt, Sally Webb Berry from The Special Event Company and multi-tasking Harith Wickrema from Harith Productions, Temple University and Eco Serendib Villa and Spa.
We had fun sharing our experience and we were thrilled to meet our attendees in our "deep dives" where we got a chance to sit together as groups and get deeper into the questions and issues at hand!


















Last but not least, we are very proud of the achievements of our Director of Floral and Event Design Kate Brack who co-chaired the After Party!

She had 30 minutes to turnover the room! A tough job that took an amazing crew!

30 Minutes in 30 Seconds Timelapse:


A true Before and After Situation!


I had a great time last week!
Can't wait to do it again! Meanwhile I am looking forward to staying in touch by phone, email and Facebook!
Warm regards,
Janet

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
