We had such a wonderful and relaxing weekend at the beautiful Grand Del Mar in San Diego. The carnival-themed party was so entertaining and the ballroom was completely transformed. We were spoiled with games, special treats and the company of good friends.

We also got an opportunity to visit the beautiful San Diego Zoo Safari Park where we were able to observe some interesting and exotic animals. We also experienced a lovely and delicious dinner at the Addison. Thank you Grand Del Mar and everyone who made this weekend so great!

Sanjay’s 40th Birthday Party at The Montage

Administrator — Tue, 13 Mar 2012 09:00:59 +0000

Mona and Sanjay are the most beautiful couple! We coordinated their wedding a few years ago at the Ritz Carlton Dana Point on a perfect day with the ocean as their backdrop. They now have an adorable baby boy and as Sanjay’s 40th birthday was approaching, Mona asked us to help her plan an amazing party to celebrate the occasion.

After visiting many venues, Mona settled on the Montage in Beverly Hills and we came up with several ideas to keep the evening filled with fun and entertainment. We decided to create a step-and-repeat wall on the red carpet for photographs as guests entered the cocktail area, in addition to a photo booth and cigar roller. Guests enjoyed amazing tray-passed appetizers and even a specialty white drink called the Marilyn Monroe.

Following the cocktail hour, guests were escorted to the conservatory into a beautiful black and white room decorated with furniture and mirrors hung over the existing paintings. The twinkling city lights of L.A. could be seen in the background as guests mingled around the room and sampled small-plate concept cuisine from various food stations inside the conservatory.

Guests were then escorted into the main ballroom, decorated by Revelry Event Designers, in cream and gold. The white furniture, custom mirrored bars and tables were very Marilyn Monroe. They even draped the balconies in beautiful gold fabric! Our vision for the room was perfect elegance and that’s exactly how it felt. All the guests watched as Sanjay cut the cake while Marilyn Monroe came out to sing to him. Everyone sampled an amazing array of yummy desserts, drank beautiful cocktails and danced to the harmonious sounds mixed by Ajay of Special Occasions until very late. The party was a huge success.

Rajnit and Jay’s Anniversary Party

Administrator — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 22:12:09 +0000

Rajnit and Jay wanted to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary in an intimate setting with their family and close friends. Their anniversary was December 30th, and after visiting many venues, they finally chose the Montage Beverly Hills. Rajnit and Jay loved the idea of having their guests first come for the reception, followed by an after party later that night. The Montage proved to be the perfect location! Scarpetta, the hotel’s fine dining restaurant, created by award-winning Chef Scott Conant, was an excellent spot for the after party. Throughout the various meetings with vendors and the hotel, Raj and Jay were very involved in the planning process, which always makes it fun.

Because Rajnit spent many years in Hong Kong and is very well versed in Asian cuisine, she made some wonderful choices for the menu. The idea was to offer guests small plates throughout the night, with stations from different countries. The color palette of black, white and silver was suggested by Nikki and a very modern feel for the ballroom was envisioned. Nikki brought in the talented team of Revelry Event Designers to create the decor and the room looked absolutely fabulous with white draping, tied with black tie backs and black valances. The entire room had black carpeting and set up started on Thursday for a Saturday event. A lounge look and feel was designed for the whole ballroom with a few tables flanked around the dance floor. A raised bar with amazing panels was placed on one end of the room and the lighting was truly magical.

A plethora of candles and white flowers created a cutting edge mood and vibe was very modern. Guests were greeted by a professional MC on the live red carpet runner and had photos taken with the couple in front of step-and-repeat wall. As soon as the doors opened, champagne girls wearing silver costumes and head gear welcomed the guests. Rajnit and Jay’s three children recited a touching and funny poem in honor of their parents and guests danced until midnight in the ballroom. After the reception, guests moved for the after party to Scarpetta; which lasted till 3:00 am. It was a beautiful and memorable evening and will remain etched in memories for a long time.

Beautiful Butterfly Party

Administrator — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 23:18:55 +0000

Butterflies are very in right now and we just recently created this lovely birthday party with the very talented Hidden Garden Floral Design. Our color scheme of pink, cream and purple combined with the butterfly woodland look turned out to be very enchanting. We placed butterflies and vines on the fountain and Hidden Garden created the most beautiful arrangements for the tables that were wrapped in bark.

The children had so much fun getting their faces painted and making huge bubbles on the lawn. Speaking of bubbles, American Acrobats did a fabulous job entertaining the guests inside a giant bubble in the pool! Thank you Daniel Chin for these amazing photos!
