Holiday Party: Vintage Americana

EVENT: Holiday party for an LA-based company, 200 guests GOAL: Produce a classy cocktail party with vintage Americana vibes, USO style. CHALLENGE: This was the company's first big party; it would set the bar for years to come. The CEO of this Aerospace company specifically wanted a vintage Americana style. SOLUTION: For a venue we selected the Bike Shed Moto Co; vintage motorcycles, chesterfield leather couches, a grand entrance like a plane hangar, and an enormous wood and iron bar as the central focal point. The existing Americana style enabled us to save money on design and focus funds on entertainment and staff. We brought in a jazz band, USO-style dancers, a roaming magician, DJ, and event staff to support throughout. We also arranged an afterparty venue two blocks away for guests who weren't ready to end the night.
