THE NEWS from EventWorks, Inc.

We had the pleasure of creating floral branding and decor for a client at the 2015 World Floral Expo that took place at the Los Angeles Convention Center this year. Our goal: to create a booth that made an impact at the expo. We think we got it! Our client just updated their Facebook page with a cover shot of our job and raved on Facebook: "World Floral Expo booth, so beautiful!" Thank you to our client for the compliment and the wonderful assignment! We are sharing the details. The Concept: Working closely with the client, we decided to create a welcoming space by building a floral studio inside the hall, complete with furnishings and floral branding to set the booth apart from all the other vendors. Director of Floral Design Kate Brack and Floral Designer Rebecca Motus conceptualized and created what our client and many visitors called the "best booth". Also, visitors' reactions showed that this strategy worked! Project Lead Floral Des...

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...

As Bono from U2 put it: “The whole thing about Lent – as any Irishman will tell you – is that it stops on St Patrick’s Day.” Bono, you speak, we listen! Janet Elkins' hometown is famous for dying the Chicago River green. Even here in Southern California we celebrate the Irish holiday although the California way may not be quite conforming with the original religious holiday tradition. We are in good company, though! While 5.5 million pints of Guinness are consumed daily around the world, on St Patrick's Day that number rises to 13 million! Another great Irish tradition is music. We asked DJ Lee Dyson to compile The Perfect Playlist! Lee Dyson: "Since I’m more or less ½ Irish AND a DJ I figured it’s only my responsibility to provide everyone with some festive music from Irish bands to help celebrate the day. P.S. I didn’t forget Enya…..I just didn’t want to put anyone to sleep!" So we got you drinking Guinness and dancing. Let's add food! Please d...

If you have known Janet for a while you probably heard that her husband of more than three decades has spent more than two decades searching for the fabled Lost City in the jungle of Honduras. HE FOUND TWO and visited ONE. 22 years ago Steve, who graduated from Southern Illinois University with a Bachelor Degree in Earth Science and Education and never lost his passion for archeological adventure, met an adventurer and explorer named Steve Morgan. The chance encounter resulted in a documentary film project about the fabled Ciudad Blanca, or Lost City, or City of The Monkey Gods. The documentary team did not find it in 1994 but Steve's interest and curiosity were peaked! Thus started a 22-year long project, with the aim to finally find the famous Lost City. You may have seen the worldwide headlines this past week! Steve's dream has come true! His painstaking work, commitment and dedication resulted in success! 22 years of research, making contacts, combing thro...

As we watch the morning news here in Southern California, we cannot help but feel compassion for our friends and colleagues in the rest of the country. If we think "oy vey" as Al Roker announces another polar vortex, YOU are probably gritting your teeth as he announces another sunny day in Southern California! But please keep in mind: we pay a price for the great weather! For starters, today will be cloudy with showers early this week! Yes, we know. Cool means 62 degrees. Never mind! But we may have to deal with any of these calamities during the year! No further comment! Wildfires Mudslides Traffic! A whopping 7 out of the 10 Most Congested Freeways in the nation are right here! Including the 110 Freeway that leads to our offices! Rent! While our rents are not quite as bad as San Francisco's or Manhattan's, we still pay a steep price for the roof over our head. $2800 for a one-bedroom in Santa Monica is an average near the be...
