THE NEWS from EventWorks, Inc.

As you can see we had quite the Holiday Celebration! Here Mia Brack Enjem hard at work! We had Much Fun and Merriment thanks to Project Linus. Can't sew? Not artsy-crafty at all? Do not despair - even you could participate in this fun, rewarding activity! During a recent staff meeting we had discussed t that we all wanted to get more involved in a community service. We all have passion for one cause or another and the desire to help - but our work rarely leaves us time to actually make it happen. Then we heard about Project Linus , a non-profit organization with chapters all across the country, that donates home-made fleece blankets to sick or traumatized children in hospitals and shelters. It turns out that the Orange County Chapter Coordinator Patty Krause understands our hectic work place. Anyone can become a "Blanketeer"! A Project Linus Party only takes a good hour. All you have to know is how to cut fleece and tie knots! Done! Kate Brack had pur...

©Max and Moritz/Wilhelm Busch Yep, we know.... all driers malfunctioned over the weekend and all our clothes shrunk! Thanksgiving was wonderful! By Friday the guilt set in. In a panic, we tracked down DJ Matt Cornwall on his family holiday vacation and begged for help! Get us moving, pleeeeeaaaase! Thankfully Matt could relate and put together a super high energy mix on Spotify that will help you "Bounce, Rock,  Shake It Off!" By the way: this playlist is guaranteed to also keep you warm on the East Coast and chase away the Winter Blues. We hope you had a wonderful Holiday and a great start to the week.

This is our favorite holiday! Thanksgiving is truly a win-win. No stressful gift shopping, no greeting cards, lots of wonderful food and drinks with friends and family. And time to reflect. We have a lot to be grateful for this year and we are so aware of how lucky we are! Lee Dyson feels the same way. He called a few days ago and shared his new Thanksgiving Song List. It's the perfect soundtrack for your Turkey Day. DJ Lee Dyson: "Gratitude is always a good place to go to keep perspective on your life and the world around you. Sometimes we get spun up in daily life and forget to take a pause and think about that. Of course Turkey Day is the perfect day to focus on this so I’ve put together a soundtrack to help. Gobble Gobble!" We hope you catch planes, trains and automobiles to join your favorite group of people for a wonderful holiday! Happy Thanksgiving!

It's all about motivation, motivation, motivation - and Jewel gave 150%! We recently produced a large fundraising event in Orange County. Our client had secured Jewel for a 60-minute set and we had included her in our overall decor in many details. Crystals adorned the floral - and we had Jewel perform in front of beaded stage backdrop to add some sparkle. We were ready for the multiple Grammy winning artist. The contract stipulated a 60-minute set - but Jewel delivered so much more! Ted Bowers: "She is known for her social engagement and her real work for philanthropic causes. Our client could not have made a better choice. Jewel and her production crew were truly appreciative and committed to the purpose of the evening!  Jewel donated a signed guitar for the silent auction and she gave her all on stage. Ted Bowers: "Jewel was fantastic! She was contracted for a 60 minute set and performed for almost 90 minutes. She had the audience mesmerized. Jewel relaye...

Rebecca, Manuel, Ella, Kate and furry Beatrice, Melissa, Kory, Marguerite and Gayane. We have been waiting for a chance to let you have a look behind the scenes with our Director of Floral and Event Design Kate Brack. A couple of weeks agothe whole team was hard at work in our studio for a local fundraising event we love. The Event: a large, annual Fundraising Dinner Gala and Concert in Southern California. Location: a Hotel Ballroom. The Challenge: the client changes the theme and the message every year. It is our task to integrate these and create a comprehensive look and feel by tying the invitation's design into every aspect of the night. Kate Brack: "The invitation featured a color palette of deep amethyst accented by tangerine.  Furthermore, the featured entertainer of the night was singer Jewel. We took these colors and added sparkle throughout the design. We integrated this theme in everything: the centerpieces, votives, stage backdrop and bars. The cen...
