Friendor Spotlight: Winchester Mystery House Showcase Event

We’re always up for working with our venue friends to assist them in showcasing their properties! It’s not only a great chance to get creative, but it’s a great opportunity to collaborate!

This month, we had such a great time working with some of our favorite friendors to showcase the famous Winchester Mystery House at their showcase.

It’s an excellent place to host a party, and of course it’s incredible history adds a fun layer to your celebration-especially if it’s themed. It’s unique, full of beautiful historic touches and it has gorgeous indoor and outdoor spaces. We really enjoyed designing the party and we were 100% over the moon to team up with Luis Castillo, Nicole Ha, Classic Party Rentals, and AFR Rentals.

Take a peek through the photos below (P.S, isn’t Luis a fab photographer?!)

10 Tips for a Smooth and Comfortable Wedding Day

“The experience it takes to be a good wedding & event planner means that over time, you end up with quite a list of tricks and advice that seems to help every time. Here’s my top list of quick tips + tricks to consider when planning for a comfortable and smooth wedding day.” -Nashley

1. Try to buy your wedding shoes a size bigger and use a foot insole for at least the first part of the day. When your feet start to swell (I don’t know why, but they will!) take your insoles out and you’ll be able to wear them a bit longer. This will help you enjoy the moments more, and worry less about your feet.

2. Use a light exfoliant on the morning of your wedding, especially if your skin feels a little dry. If you don’t have something on you, use a bit of sugar and a drop of oil or water). A quick light facial will help enhance that glow.

3. Don’t forget to take a few selfies, at least before you head out for the day. Everyone wishes they had at least a few.

4. Don’t overdue the perfume-especially if you’re traveling in a limousine.

5. Pack a pair of flats so you can dance the night away.

6. Of course you’ll sneak in some one-on-one time with your partner, but don’t forget about your parents. Make sure to save a few moments for them.

7. Eat Breakfast. This might be your only chance to eat a meal until the reception.
8. Drink ALOT of water-both leading up to the wedding and during the wedding day itself.
9. Relax and don’t take yourself so seriously. You’ve worked hard to plan this wedding, and it’s time to enjoy it!
10. Don’t forget to be present in the moment. It all goes by too fast.

Great Advice + A Great Party: Entire Productions’ Spring Fling

The industry event of the year is the Entire Productions Spring Fling! It’s always such a fabulous event filled with a guest list comprised of some of the best talent in the industry.

We love to attend not just to see all our industry friends, but to really experience the showcase of all the incredible entertainers available through our dear friends at Entire Productions.

This year, the party was held at the Bentley Reserve and the room was packed. The energy was fantastic and everyone looked amazing dressed in their “Palm Springs” flair.

Before the party got started, VIP’s were treated to a trends talk with special guest Mindy Weiss, and Natasha Miller, Owner of Entire Productions.

We’re delighted to share Caitlin’s takeaways from the talk, and a few photos from her phone (pro photos will be posted soon, we’re sure of it!)

-“I totally agree with Mindy Weiss; you want your clients and their guests to live IN your event and never want the night to end. Create an event that keeps guests excited and enticed from start to finish!”
-“Not only should your event be pretty, it should have a wow factor when it comes to the guest experience as well. I definitely felt this at the Entire Productions party, with the stunning aerialists who were pouring your glass of champagne while suspended in the air. It was interactive, entertaining, intriguing…all rolled into one!”
