THE NEWS from EventWorks, Inc.

4th of July is bringing out the Red, White and Blue in us. So as we are getting ready to celebrate Independence Day -  and the values that make us all American: Liberty, Equality and Self-Government - we take a look back at events that included a patriotic angle. We have had the pleasure and privilege to produce events in several iconic American locations of historical significance. We were also tasked with bringing a patriotic element to custom produced and designed entertainment. Thank you for having a look! Historic Locations: We just returned from working in the port of Alameda, CA, where we produced a series of Gala evenings aboard the USS Hornet Museum. Events took place on the flight deck and the hangar deck. In order to make this work, we installed a custom staircase inside of the aircraft elevator for our 1,600 guests. We do ❤️ aircraft carriers! We took our customizable Flag Set to the USS Midway for this event. We matched furni...

It's officially here: the season of picnics, beach-themed parties and outdoor BBQs. Get your white shoes out of the closet and let's go! We are celebrating the beginning of summer with a fond look at some of our recent summer events. This Beach Party took place close to home, on a State Beach near Laguna Beach, CA. Two challenges: ever changing tides that seemed to creep higher as it got closer to show time and floral-endangering heat. We managed to stay dry and keep the florals fresh by keeping them in cool storage until the last possible moment. The event was magical! It ended with full moon over the Pacific! We produced our annual Summer Picnic just this past week. We absolutely love this event as the Summer Carnival is a family event for all. 11,000 guests, 120 event staff, 32 golf carts, and 12 carnival rides. Guests range in age from Baby to Senior and everyone really gets to partake in the fun! ...

Date: June 6, 2015 , 5:30-6:30PM Location: Target Terrace at L.A. Live in Los Angeles, CA. The Occasion: we were invited to participate in a "Meet Los Angeles" FAM program organized by L.A. Tourism to provide a new activity: a Flower Bar! The Event: a Reception at L.A. Live and an Educational Roundtable. Our Director of Floral and Scenic Design Kate Brack created "Eco Chic" - a drought friendly floral concept and matching, easy-for-everyone activity: assembling succulent terrariums that we are shipping straight to their offices as lasting souvenirs. Kate Brack and Nikki Wilbur represented us. The Challenge: creating a memorable "L.A." Moment for our guests. We eschewed the typical wine tasting or cooking class activity to present "The Flower Bar" - an Eco Chic terrarium making class. Perched on a large roof top event space in the heart of downtown LA, we hosted an intimate affair that proved to be social, educational and ...

A week ago, we produced the first corporate Electric Run. The 1K run, The ELECTRIC JOURNEY, easily managed even in heels, culminated in an outdoors dance party with multimedia entertainment. We are happy to report that the guests loved it! Location: adjacent to the USS Hornet on Pier 2 in Alameda, CA. Date: June 1, 2015, 9pm to 11:30PM Guest Count: 1,600 The Event: The client asked us to create a new, fresh event to cap off a Gala Evening that started with a reception and dinner on the USS Hornet. This group of guests consisted of younger, energetic top sales associates. This event had to serve multiple purposes:     •    The client celebrates 20 years of company success.     •    This evening was the highlight of a reward/incentive trip to the Bay Area     •    And last but not least, the client introduces a new product, an energy drink, to the sales force. Our Concept: The client loved t...

Looking back at our musical blog posts we noticed that DJ Matt Cornwall has an uncanny knack for recognizing fresh talent before they become huge stars. After all, he is a walking music history encyclopedia. We asked him for his Top 5 2015 Summer Hits. Greetings from behind the decks from DJ Matt Cornwall!  Summer 2015 is right around the corner and already promises to be yet another huge success for Electronic Dance Music and DJ/ music producer styled hits. I for one could not be more pleased, as this trend seems to spawn music more hopeful and uplifting in tone, lyrics and spirit as opposed to the rather meandering lack luster "Drunk in Love" from Beyonce or any Rihanna song mired in too much booze 'n bling of 2013 & 14. It's all about 90's flavored feelin' good and getting down, house music baby! Here are some songs I predict will be big this summer: 1. House music kings Disclosure have another gorgeous soulful infectious hit on their hands with ...
