The Event: St. Joseph Hospital Celebration 2019
Date: October 12, 2019
Guests: 650
Location: City National Grove of Anaheim
This annual event celebrated a special milestone.
The 90th Birthday of St. Joseph Hospital.
We are honored to have been invited to produce the annual fundraising gala for over a decade.


Ted Bowers: "St. Joseph Hospital was founded in the City of Orange, California, so that informed the color scheme. We focused on incorporating a sense of time and place in our design, based on the concept "Orange".  We provided the decor for the reception and lobby, as well as all the ballroom decor, including chandeliers, table decor, floral and centerpieces featuring oranges and much more. Furthermore we provided full production service for the silent auction, the on-stage presentations, the headliner show and the after party."


Our step-and-repeat: the anniversary logo, enhanced with our beach cruiser bike with a basket full of oranges drew attendees in front of the camera.

"It's wonderful to work with long term clients, especially for a fundraising event. The onstage presentations and the silent auction are very fast moving and essential to the financial success. Since we have been involved for many years, we know and recognize the VIPs, major donors and staff members. This helps us respond very quickly during the event. The show is highly scripted and we do know where key event participants are seated and plan our show call with this in mind as required. We can respond with technical support - a camera swing, a microphone delivery - and thus ensure that the VIPs feel recognized and appreciated. We are very grateful that our client trusts us to work with their special guests."

"We assisted in hiring the headliners, Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo, and we provided full technical production service for the concert, including live video support for the show. The audience LOVED the show!"

The orange carpet was part of our overall event design - our favorite arrival came on four paws.
While we provided the technical support for the live auction which required extensive stage managing backstage as well as the front of the room and a lot of liaising with the client's staff, we had nothing to do with bringing the puppies, that received a lot of attention from high bidders who became loving dog parents that night

- but we love dogs and wish to leave you with this adorable face to wish you a wonderful Monday and a great week.

Thank you for reading!

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

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
