Guide for Special Occasions

Special Event Décor
Today's special occasions are all about the visuals - displays that will dazzle and delight create the mood for your event and are key ingredients you'll want to consider in making your event a memorable one. Gone is the cut-glass bud vase atop a paper doily sporting one plastic flower.


Bar/Bat Mitzvah Planning
A special occasion steeped in tradition is the Bar/Bat Mitzvah. As this is a very special benchmark in a child's life, it is not unusual for friends and family to travel long distances in order to share this joyous rite of passage.


Off The Beaten Path
Extraordinary events require a memorable location that hotels and banquet halls cannot provide. Think outside the box. You don't want the event to look mass-produced.


A theme makes party planning fun
When planning a party come up with a theme first. This will make your job of planning the event that much easier. A theme will allow you to stay focused, keep your colors, food and the decorations all coordinated.


Concours d'Elegance
In a city the size of metro Chicago, where charity events take place almost every weekend, how do you create a spectacular event that is a "must attend" for local patrons?


Your Party 'Drink-tionary'
Some party guests only drink cocktails that end with "-ini." Others take a sip of sherry once a decade. You'll have to accommodate these and more drink preferences at your celebration. And, you'll want to keep your bar bill manageable.


Party Photo Booths
Party Photo Booths have become one of the hottest new trends for wedding receptions and special occasions. They provide a fun, social activity that offers instant gratification and lasting memories for your friends and family.
