Visualizing your event

Recently, it looks like the economy might be making a come back. We have seen a slight increase in requests for our services regarding larger events and corporate functions. As we talk to these potential clients, it is becoming more and more clear to us that they have a hard time visualizing what their event will look like. Maybe they are new to the event planning position, maybe it has been a while since they did their last meeting or maybe they want to try something new.

One of the best ways we can help you to see what your event will look like is to help you visualize it and show you what that would look like. Visualizing will really help you get a better idea of what you need, where you need it and how it will all look. This is a great way to find the perfect layout for your event. Your production company should be doing this for you. It is a necessary tool for both of you and you should be included in this phase of the design, that way you can make sure the set up is conducive to your event, and all of the equipment you need is accounted for.

Some people need to actually see what their event will look like before they get there - which is completely understandable. This is the perfect option for them. We did a visualization for Pennsbury's Prom last year. It gave the students and faculty a good idea of what to expect.

We also did a visualization for a bride-to-be. She was having a tented wedding and wanted lanterns, but didn't have a large budget. We told her that she really needed about 70+ lanterns to cover the whole tent, but she couldn't understand why. So we showed her. We did a rendering so she could see why that amount of lanterns was needed to give the look she was going for.

These two are just two examples of the renderings that we can create for your social or coporate event. The clients loved both of them and it made it much easier for them to understand and "see" what they were going to get at their event. We include this option on all of our packages that warrant it. It is just another value that we add to our service.

Pennsbury Prom

Every year Pennsbury High School puts on one of the most spectacular proms in the country (there was even a book written about it). Instead of having their prom at a hotel or country club, they choose to turn their school into a decorated dream land. Every inch of the school is covered with that year’s theme, this year it was "A Novel Night." It looks nothing like a high school when all is said and done.

Once a theme is chosen, the preparations begin. Each year they paint murals reflecting their theme to hang in the gym and throughout the hallways. The hallways are covered in murals and in some places, life size diaramas. The gym is completely draped out in black and is turned into something you would see at a concert. The largest murals are hung there.

Before the prom starts, hundreds of people line the main driveway to the school to watch the students arrive. It is tradition to try and arrive at the prom the coolest, most original way possible. Helicopters, fire engines, trailers, whatever you can think of, they have done it. It takes about 2 hours to get all the students into the school. Once they exit their transportation, they walk a red carpet into their prom.

During the prom, dinner is served and there are two separate hypnotists that the students can go to. But the big show happens at midnight. Each year, the school tries to get a big act to surprise the students. A few years ago John Mayer played, this year it was Ryan Cabrera. He did a 4 song set that the students loved.

This is one of our favorite events of the year! We get the chance to be as creative as we can be and as you can see from the pictures, we don’t let them down. Thank you Pennsbury, for allowing us to be a part of this great event.

Thanks so much to our friend Jenn Childress, Jenn Childress Photography, for the amazing pictures! You rock Jenn!
