Design-Based Thinking

Many planners focus solely on the logistics. They spend the majority of their time figuring out the "nuts and bolts" of the event and the event design ends up as an afterthought - or worse, they outsource the design to other vendors who might not have a true understanding of what the client is looking for. We take the opposite approach. We start by asking our client what they want the guest experience to be like - what "look and feel" do they want the party to have? From there we create a comprehensive design plan outlining all of the event details. Once the aesthetic is set, we then get to work on the logistics and hand pick the vendor team to create the design direction we've set. The result is a comprehensive design that is expertly executed by the best vendor team for the job.
