Disco GLAM!
Over the past weekend, I once again had the pleasure of doing an event with the inspiring Diana Lefebvre, founder of Burlesquercise. These events are Galas with performances from her students, as well as other special guest dancers. Di's visions for her Galas are always exciting, and give me so much to work with! This time, she went all out with a Disco Glam theme. It was one hip party!!
We set the scene with pink and green beaded curtains at the entrance that the Guests had to walk through. Once they stepped through the curtains, they were greeted with sequin covered tables and tall vases filled with mini mirror balls. In our reception room, we created a living room scene, with a white leather lounger, shag rug and groovy lava lamps! This proved to be a hot spot for some great photo opps!! At the intermission we served cheese and cracker platters, dessert squares, and chocolate covered strawberries. The highlight of our food table was the "Burlesquercise" cake. Be sure to check out the picture below! Thanks to Cakes by Jill for the beautiful display!
Thank you to all of the volunteers who helped make the night so successful, as well as a special thanks to my event manager, Gordana. You are so amazing!! I was fortunate enough to have the help of an apprentice for this event as well. Andrea, you did awesome!
I wonder what Di will come up with next....
Til next time.

Great news for Event Planners!
The market for corporate special events is showing a healthy rebound, with 44 percent of respondents in a recent survey predicting they will produce more corporate events in 2012 than they will this year. The results come from the 10th annual Special Events Corporate Events Marketplace Survey, which will be released next month.
Half of respondents say they will stage the same number of corporate events in 2012 as this year, and a scant 6 percent say they expect to produce fewer events in 2012 than they will this year.
The corporate event sector has shown continued improvement over the past two years. In the 2009 study, for example, a whopping 38 percent of respondents said they expected to stage fewer events in 2009 than they did in 2008.
BETTER BUDGETS
Some 43 percent of respondents predict that their company's budget allocation for staging corporate events will increase in 2012. Thirty-four percent expect corporate budgets in 2012 to be on par with 2011 allocations, while 14 percent expect to deal with a smaller budget allocation in 2012.
In an interesting twist, the percentage of respondents who say they attempt to measure the ROI—return on investment—of their corporate special events declined this year, to 49 percent. In contrast, 57 percent of respondents in the 2010 survey said they attempt to measure their events' ROI.
Looks like 2012 will shape up to be a great year for Events!!
