Simply Mumtaz at the JW Marriott at LA LIVE producing the Treasures of Los Angeles

So, we are very excited to have blown out the JW Marriott at LA LIVE this past week for the 16th Annual Treasures of Los Angeles Awards Luncheon. It was a lot of fun. We had a great team to put this baby together.

Our inspiration was the blue from the exterior of the new JW Marriott / Ritz building and the LEDs in Nokia Plaza. We tried to bring that outside nightime feeling into a square ballroom. But, we had to keep as much of the client's purple in the room... so we hit a good balance. We also had Andre Miripolsky update his iconic downtown LA (VIVA LA) skyline with Nokia Plaza, Grammy Museum, JW Marriott / Rtiz building... It ended up being our event backdrop! Everyone was raving about this amazing design, his actual work is amazing!

Thanks to our great team of vendors - J&M Entertainment for Technical Production, Mark Anthony Printing Service for Printing our Super Fab Tribute Journal, Gorgeous Event Signgage from Exhibit Graphics & AAA Flag & Banner, our "Green" centerpieces that everyone went bonkers for from Swedish Accents, Wildflower Linens for our perfect table linens, Chameleon Chair / Classic for our Chair Rentals, Dreamworld Backdrops for recreating the backdrop masterpiece, our Graphic Designers - Jahel on our team & David at Vonderland Studios.

We would be remissed if we didn't thank Milko Rivera at the JW Marriott, Martha Saucedo & Michael Roth at AEG, My gals - Jennifer K, Jennifer M, Michelle & Angie! We also have to thank our staff & volunteers, couldn't have pulled 9 months of work without you to execute!

I was lucky and got to sneak a photo with James Worthy... :) Please stay tuned - we will be posting the time lapse video early next week!
