The luncheon event honors the outstanding commitments and achievements of healthcare professionals; the women and men who work tirelessly to ensure the needs of our communities are met. Hospitals are the front line of care within our society and are committed to providing life-savings services to millions people of every day.

Los Angeles Trade Tech's Annual Dinner Fundraiser!

Simply Mumtaz Events, Inc. had the pleasure of producing the Los Angeles Trade Tech College Foundation's Annual Dinner event. It was a great experience we were able to help the Foundation raise funds for the school. We were able to use one of the two special event tents they have on campus for the affair. A few of our major challenges for the event were that we literally had no power to source as well creating a high caliber event with a restricted budget. The inspiration for the event design and decor was the Pegasus. HACER, an alumnus from LATTC turned fine artists sculpted the amazing piece which was installed on the campus - "Education gives you Wings" was the essence of the inspiring the piece. We incorporated elements and the story of HACER into various aspects of the complete event from the Tribute Journal to the lighting...

As guests arrived they drove past the Pegasus and then were welcomed by Valet and a wash of the abstract color patterns until they arrived on the red carpet. The photos below detail the event set-up. We had a silent auction and reception in the first portion of the tent... then the second half was set up with our very clean table tops with only accents of the red /orange of the Pegasus. The lighting on the ceiling changed throughout the evening, moved and grew from barely there to WOW! A special touch accent was the origami cranes - our alumnus HACER was inspired by the delicate art of origami and his metal work looks / gives you the impression of origami in metal... The menu cards detailed the why each guest was given a special origami crane.

Above are the one-of-a kind abstract award pieces that were given to the honorees. HACER was kind enough to create these amazing works as wings to the Pegasus for each honoree. Then, as guests departed they were greeted good-bye by the event logo as a gobo.

We literally pulled this event together in 2 weeks! It was a fantastic whirlwind and couldn't have done it without the help of our strategic vendor team members... You all were so gracious under the timelines. A special thanks go out to our client! Thank you for the opportunity and we look forward to many more...
