Event Recap: Zen Theme Awards Ceremony
Bamboo, River Stones & Aerialists

Recently we did a Corporate Awards Ceremony at The Cradle of Aviation. We went with a Zen theme, incorporating it into the Room Decor, Centerpieces, and even the Entertainment.

As guest entered from their cocktail hour- their attention was captured by our Silk Aerialist Performer hanging 15' off the ground over the dance floor. We continued with the Aerialist Performance with different sets throughout the night- even while guests were dancing underneath them!

As for Decor we alternated centerpieces on the Tables. Some were Bamboo Shoots Surrounded by Moss and River Stones. Others had three different height Cylinders with Bear Grass and Floating Candles. The rest were comprised of Lanterns with Pillar Candles.

The host set each place set with a Lucky Bamboo Plant that guests could take home with them.

We also floated Inner Lit 3' White Balloons around the room at different heights to bring dimension to the room.











Guest were amazed by the Aerialists twisting and flipping in the air above them. Later on in the evening guests were dancing on the dance floor while the performers we above them. 

Here's a Quick Clip we Took with Vine at the Event

New York Event Trend
Mansions & Museums

An event trend that we have been noticing lately is events in Mansions & Museums. Guests are taking their events to a whole new extreme- and Event Kings is a BIG FAN. 


Museums 

New York City and Long Island are filled with Museums. Museums usually have large almost-bare rooms in which you, or better yet US, can transform the room into an Event Space. (Check out one of our previous blogs on Event Transformation- Event Kings Blog- Event Transformation) 

The absolute BEST part of having your event at a Museum is you can usually ask or pay for some exhibits to be open. We did this in Chicago for a Corporate Conference last year. (Check out a blog all about that event- Event Kings Blog- Destination Conferences) The guests love this, especially if the museum has a hands-on exhibit.

Metropolitan Museum of Art


 Cradle of Aviation Museum



Mansions 

Long Island's Gold Coast is filled with Mansions from the era of the Great Gatsby- all built around 1910s to 1920s. Whether public or private, many of these Mansions open their doors for Events. 

Having your event at a mansion instead of a Catering Hall adds an element of History. Knowing that people once lived in these beautiful mansions, and seeing all the beautiful antiques gives the Event a different feeling.

Another plus to having your event at a mansion is you are not locked into a specific caterer. Although most suggest caterers and vendors to use, the final choice of who you use is completely up to you.

Before & After
Event Transformation

Our very own Terry Vogel had a brilliant idea last week at one of our Corporate Holiday Events-
She suggested we show Before & After shots of the venue we were at to show how we can transform any space into a gorgeous Event.

We are constantly talking about how Museums make great Event Spaces, and this is a perfect example. This past week we were at The Cradle of Aviation in Garden City for a Corporate Holiday Event.

With a little help from the Cradle, and our wonderful staff- we really made the difference in the event.
