The Essential Party Services

Hello There:

This week we will continue to build on our Urban theme Bar Mitzvah with a focus on EAT + DRINK!!

Pillars 37 venue. Party This Way....

 

Our client decided to honor tradition and serve a kosher menu.  After interviewing several kosher caterers, we selected Pride Caterers for the creative style and good taste of their party services. 

Playing with the street fair concept Pride created a selection of options and served them up in a continuous floating cocktail hour. 

 

Bar snacks greeted guests upon arrival. 

Pride custom designed these festive candy girl serving trays. Servers walked the room and offered guests mini tacos and beef sliders. For the serving ware we went with the casual, street vibe of paper boats and mini bambo small plates. 

  

 The candy girl serving tray with strap presented french fries in paper cups.

Chalkboard signage highlighted the evening's offerings. Love to know what is being served. 

Trays of chinese noodle boxes sat in these fun cubbies. We loved the easy grab and go experience.

 

Classic mason jar and striped straws perfect pair for spiked lemonade. The festival style wooden crafted serving boxes held each jar. 

 

Oversized iced tubs held assorted soft drinks. Such an easy set up, yet such a charming display.

 

For an end of the evening treat, root beer floats were passed.

 

Each of the guests received a good night parting treat. Overflowing vessels of candies for the taking. New York City hand stamped paper goodie bags were filled with yummy treats that included Treat House marshmallow rice krispy treats. 

We will meet you back here next week for the FUN PIECES. 

Til next week, have fun okay? Loretta xo

Our Studio Designs the Floor Plan

Hello My Party Goers! Welcome back to the second week in our on going GRAFFITI  THEME  series. Last week we illustrated the impact of grounding an NYC event in a theme. The theme is the anchor from which we begin to build out from.

We designed the floor plan around this awesome piece of wall art.

This week we focus on design; our venue, Pillars 37, is an open loft like floor plan. We built out sections around strategic placement of the furniture, dance floor, food + bar and photo booth. Then, we went with a white, modern aesthetic for the lounge seating. By carving out these little seating areas, we created respites for guests away from the thump thump thump of the DJ.

We tossed about bean bag chairs & fat boys for pops of color. We also loved the playful and casual vibe. 

 This loose seating invites guests to gather or in some cases rest:):) how sweet this little thing is....

Rather than going with a formal dinner experience. Our clients replicated the current NYC restaurant trend and set community runner tables with bar stools. Guests, lingered, chatted, perched and enjoyed the party from this vantage point. Bar height runner tables add dimension to the overall lay out. Creating visual interest.

The wall washes and up lights color the room to contrast the white lounge furniture and highlight the graffiti wall art. The amber street light spot light coupled with the midnight blue complimented the urban party. 

The DJ/MC Booth often become a focal point of the room. In this floor plan we created an organic dance floor by arranging the furniture around the pillars. The MC will invite guests to the space through out the evening. The montage and candle lighting which are significant pieces to the Bar Mitzvah happen at center stage. The plasma screens are set up near the DJ booth and guests gather about to view.

The BAR is an area that guests find it easy to mingle. Since guests are drawn to the bar, we think it's aesthetic should blend with the space. We like the idea of making it a statement. This VINTAGE

BAR sign was the ideal statement piece. As it works with the NYC street feel.

It's the little details with big impact that complete the story. Often flowers are the perfect accent to tie all the layers together. Instead we decided to play up the tablescape with vessels filled with LED trinkets, rock candy, rings + fun.

 It was a perfect compliment to the over all mood of this NYC event.  Throughout the evening guests did light up the night.

 

Next week we will take a look at The Eats + Drinks.

Hope y'all stop by. Loretta xo
