Oh the memories! We had a blast last Friday reminiscing about our favorite Halloween moments. Top row: Kristen with a young friend last year and an adorable Brynne as Pharaoh's Daughter a little earlier in life. Bottom row: Muhammad Ali-sa and a devilish Elizabeth. It feels good to be bad. We also decided to get our very own party on this year as we individually celebrate with our friends and families. Just in time for ghouls and ghosts:  DJ Lee Dyson delivers a fresh 2017 HALLOWEEN PLAYLIST. Click the image and turn up the sound. Happy Halloween!

The Challenge: We had to upgrade an exclusive event at a location that is outstandingly gorgeous and luxurious on its own. Solution: We transformed the grounds. The Event: The Board Dinner Guest Count: 60 Event Date: Saturday, October 7, 2017 Location: The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay, California. Alisa Walsh: "The guests of this dinner were very VIP, the founders and hotel owners of our hotel group client. Consequently the Ritz Carlton made many exceptions for us and allowed us to hold this event on the lawn. We were allowed to bring in our own team to transform the space. We decided to bring in Bamboo Lantern tents because they provide such a wow factor and could be seen from all over the property. We had to truck in the tents in from Los Angeles, the only place where they are available." Alisa: "The space allows for 300 guests so we used decor and tent spacing and placing to create a more intimate feel for the 60 VIPs. One tent was a bar, one ...

The Event: WTCF Los Angeles Fragrant Hills Tourism Summit 2017 Dates: 19-20 September 2017 Location: InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown Guest Count: 230 Our Task: highlight and showcase iconic L.A. imagery in all decor and entertainment.

The quintuple Oscar® winning film proves to be a wonderful entertainment concept to promote Los Angeles internationally.

The Los Angeles Tourism and Convention Board promotes filming locations to the tourism industry. La La Land's happy, upbeat tone makes it the perfect entertainment vehicle to promote our home town or bring tha...

September 26, 2017: Anaheim Convention Center officially opened the addition, ACC North, at the conclusion of a 2-year expansion project. Anaheim now offers 1,8 million square feet of convention space. We love all the event possibilities. Janet and Alisa report from the opening ceremony in Anaheim, California. Congratulations to our friends in Anaheim!  ACC North truly adds value to the meeting and event space. Janet: "ACC North was designed to work with natural light. However, it can be blacked out. The open floor plans,100,000 square feet on the 100 level and an additional 100,000 square feet of carpeted, column-free space on the 200 level, allow us maximum flexibility. We also love the fact that Anaheim maximizes the benefits of our California climate with the 10,000 square foot outdoor balcony. Sunshine and fresh air during a meeting will make everyone happy." What a difference 50 years make. Top, the 1967 opening, bottom the 2017 ACC North ...
