Site Report: Beach- and Waterfront at Newport Dunes Resort and Marina

-
 
They had us at Aloha!

Nikki Wilbur recently had the chance to check out Newport Dunes, a Waterfront Resort and Marina and enjoyed discovering this gorgeous event site in Newport Beach, California.




What a gem!
We have RV-traveling friends who had been raving about the 5-star resort but Newport Dunes has so much more to offer, most importantly to us: the property's 110 acres include an extremely civilized beach event space!
This is waterfront and beachfront without the inconvenience of sandstorms, waves or lack of infrastructure.

Furthermore, Newport Dunes is now partnering with Choura Events, known for their completely customizable, top tier event tent setups of literally any size.
This just took the weather risk out of the outdoor space, turning Newport Dunes into a safe, year-round location, just in case we do get any rain in Southern California.

Sales Manager Brian Moore: "We are a blank canvas. Anything is possible. A business meeting with beach barbecue for eight or a major gala for 10,000."

The new partners celebrated with a Summer Luau Lounge, the perfect theme for a balmy July late afternoon.








The Fact Sheet:

Location:
110 water-front acres around a safe, clean, protected bay in the heart of Newport Beach.
Newport Dunes neighbors the Upper Newport Bay Nature Preserve.

Accessibility:
Newport Dunes has two large entry gates, one from Back Bay Drive, one from Bayside Drive, right off Pacific Coast Highway. John Wayne Airport is a 15-minute drive away.
Parking space is ample: 800 individual parking spaces as well as large bus parking.
But the funnest way to arrive: by boat! After all, the resort has it's own marina.

Accommodations:
Brian Moore: "We offer cottages and RV and tent spaces on site and we are working closely with the neighboring Hyatt Regency Newport Beach. They use our beach for many of their events. Guests just simply cross Back Bay Drive to get to us. We are also very close to the large business meeting and convention oriented properties in Huntington Beach and Newport Coast and we are easily accessible from Anaheim."

Activities:
This is a full service, 5-star waterfront Resort and Marina and offers any water sport activity imaginable, including fully catered electric Duffy Boat Happy Hours and standup board paddling in the calm waters of the bay.
The resort operates a seasonal water park from Memorial to Labor Day weekend.
A lifeguard is on duty during daylight hours.

Amenities:
The beach is a tidal property, i.e. the width of the beach varies. However, the bay is free of waves and the beach area is long enough to accommodate a large size event at any time.
The beach features five permanent pavilions.
In partnership, Choura offers customized tent structures.
A restaurant is part of the property. The Back Bay Bistro features indoor and outdoor waterfront dining, seats 200 and is available for buy-outs.

Permits:
A sound permit is required for amplified music.
Allowable Time:
Sunday - Thursday until 9pm
Friday, Saturday until 10pm
However, due to the privacy of the location, acoustic music or smaller speakers are allowed for later nights.

We are looking forward to working here!

Aloha and Mahalo!

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

Inspiration: The Red Line and Elements - Art Projects by Doron Gazit

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

Our Floral Designer Rebecca Motus featured on ABC's The Bachelor on Valentine's Day

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
