Hello There Party Goers! Nice to have you back as we complete our Urban-Graffiti series. This week we wrap up with the FUN PIECE. Our Bar Mitzvah theme was set around an urban attitude. Custom designed graffiti wall art grounded the space. Now, we needed to turn this party into an entertaining event!

Here at the studio, we work with our clients to build the elements around a central theme. Our goal is to keep the party space cohesive yet keep the party goers interested + vibrant.  The entertainment factor is growing in it's range. The NoMad Hotel wows guests with performance by Dan White.  This same entertaining event experience is being interpreted for the party scene. 

STILT CREATURES: Upon arrival these imaginative Stilt Walkers walked the venue and greeted guests. The interactive approach warms guests to the party scene.

We set up a Tattoo Station. At this make shift parlor, artists applied hand drawn tatts. Continuing to play up the color theme we worked with glow in the dark make up. To inspire guests, we offered a design book with ideas.

 TATTOO PARLOR:  The artists also applied Flash Tattoos, the jewelry inspired rage. It's super cool to take a street trend and scale it for an event. 

LED: As we shared in a previous blog, rather than flowers our tablescapes overflowed with LED bands, rings, necklaces and balls. This served not only as design but equal playful interactive props. The LED flash added to the event.

DANCING FEET, guests, especially the younger siblings, had an awesome time with the LED beach balls. These props are inexpensive yet so much fun. 

SOCK BIN: A tradition at the Bar Mitzvah scene is to have socks on hand for the tired dancing feet. 

The entertainment team includes party dancers.  Our dancers wore all white and led adults onto the dance floor. These dancers are awesome at breaking the ice and helping guests to feel involved.

A special surprise performance by Elliot's friends was particularly high energy. These buddies broke out in a practiced dance for Elliot. Guests full on loved their energy. Often it can be the least planned piece that adds big smiles.

LED PERFORMER: Working with the flow of the event. We planned ambient dance performances.  Our lighting team infused a black light moment as an Black Light performer with LED props hit front and center stage. 

 PHOTO BOOTH: smile click repeat smile click repeat.

The photo booth has become the ubiquitous form of entertainment. The graffiti wall art set the backdrop for both family pictures and silly guest photo-op. 

 I do hope that you enjoyed the party.

I look forward to seeing you at the next entertaining event. Loretta xo

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
