Event Report: Summertime - And The Production Is Not So Easy

Image
In early July Brynne Peña had the enviable task of producing a series of three evening events in a gorgeous coastal setting, a private estate in beautiful Palos Verdes, California. The Theme: A Storied Night Under The Stars at The Cliff's Edge. The Event: three consecutive gala dinners for varying numbers of guests with changing entertainment. The Challenge: HEAT! Brynne is happy to share the details on how we beat the elements to keep the guests comfortable. Brynne: "The client entertained at their own private location and we had proposed a basic look that could be adjusted each day to accommodate the very differing guest counts.

The Event: A 4-Day Luxury Incentive Event Guest Count: 51 VIPs The Location: The Resort at Paws Up, Montana Our Task: Creating a "Glamping" Western Experience for three distinct evening events. We ❤ Montana and especially Paws Up! The countryside's beauty is the best event backdrop anyone could ever imagine! We were tasked to produce three separate Western Ranch themed evening galas. Our final night was a true celebration of locally sourced food. We centered the evening around a long table, family style, for the ultimate farm-to-table experience to our guests in an open field at Paws Up. This was capped off by an entertaining performance. In order to turn ideas into reality we had to turn the field into an event space. For starters, we needed to build a brid
