Masquerade weddings


1.       Masquerade weddings are a fun idea too and since they go hand in hand with Gatsby glamour why not add this flavor to your wedding day.   
2.       Masquerade balls for foundation fundraisers.
3.       Masquerade parties for sweet 16s and quincearenas.
4.        Masquerade balls for holiday parties such as Christmas and of course New Years!

Murder Mystery Parties



Years ago these where very popular and they are making a come-back – in a bigger than life way. What do I mean?  Let’s say that you decide to stay with the vintage theme; like a 1920’s Speakeasy as a setting.  This murder mystery party would be a theme party at a bar, restaurant or in your home with a complete re-do that resembles a Speakeasy, a couple professional actors are brought in to play your key players, all of your guests come in 1920s costumes and for 3 hours it’s a game of clue with your attendees trying to figure out “who done it!”  Sounds fun, right?  It can be an absolute ball and your guests will never forget it.

Team Building



Creating a team atmosphere in departments or with managers makes the company stronger as a whole.  There are so many things you can do to accomplish this, either with contests, games and awards or outdoor big activities.  First you need to talk to your planner to discuss your overall vision for what you want to accomplish and then let your planner design a game plan that you can pick and choose from.  Your ideal planner should be able to go with the flow and be able to adjust things on the fly.  However, them knowing what your accomplished vision would look like will help to guide your staff in the right direction with you at the helm.

Help your team to play like a team.
