Themed Events
Galas and Receptions are elegant affairs, often hosted as fundraisers or a celebration of a milestone. Whether raising money or increasing awareness for a cause or brand, galas and receptions provide a formal gathering that often requires a dress code, speeches and presentations, a catered dinner, and entertainment centered around a live band or disc jockey.
Hosting a successful gala requires proper planning and detailed execution. I usually start by learning about the purpose and goal of the event. It is important that I learn from clients what they want the outcome to be and the impression they would like their guests to leave with. This informs the venue selection process, the choice of entertainment, the food variety, and the flow of the program.
