Make Your Budget Count!

So, we just finished our 10th year in a row of producing one of our signature events in the Downtown Los Angeles area at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel. We love reinventing this event every year. We obviously have a budget to create the event, but have to create something new this year to really give it a WOW factor. TOP PLANNER TIP: Make the money you spend count! This year we cut way down on the table decor (no frills and thrills!) and put the funds into the technical production line item! We had a 40ft+ LED screen in the center of the room as the backdrop! Since we could program it to do whatever we want, break it into several images, etc. it was absolutely the highlight of the event especially as we changed out the images throughout the event! Our one money maker shined bright! We also framed it with 2 additional 20ft wide screens and smaller vertical LED panels!
Here you can see Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa with a Downtown LA sunset image...

Here we had to share... our client with Council President Herb Wesson Jr and Councilman Tom LaBonge with Honoree Hugh Hefner... Our client Carol Schatz was named the "Queen Bunny of Downtown Los Angeles" with Silver Bunny Ears!

Plus we have to give a shout out to the Good News Girls. They were fantastic to work with and look forward to working with them in the future. And, finally here's a part of the Mumtaz Team posing with honoree Hugh Hefner - A Playboy Extraordinaire!
