ISES Annual Awards and Installation Dinner - SME Shines Bright!

This past week we had a phenomenal night at the ISES: Los Angeles Annual Awards and Installation Dinner at Pandora on Green in Pasadena. The entire Simply Mumtaz team was there, with some family members in tow, to support Jennifer Minzey, the incoming VP of Programs and Education on the ISES board.
The event was coordinated by our own Jennifer Minzey. With the help of J&M Entertainment, Classic Party Rentals, Chameleon Chairs, Town and Country Rentals, Wisteria Lane, Elegant Designs & Speciality Linens, Leonard Neil Productions, Red Carpet Event Staff, Tiffany & Co, and GLI Video Production, she put on this fabulous event!

The night turned into the "Ms. Jennifer Minzey show" according to current President Ron Hobbs. Not only did she put the entire event together, she also took home some very special awards. She walked away with the President's Award and the Marty McGowan Scholarship. We're so proud of her!
It was a great night for Simply Mumtaz as well! We were nominated for three awards and won the Best Allied Team award for our work on the Treasures of Los Angeles awards luncheon. All in all, it was a night full of celebration. We are so honored to have been a part of this event and look forward to next year! Thanks to Luminaire Images for the wonderful event photos!

Simply Mumtaz - Not Your Every Day Awards Show

Hi everyone... So, we've had a busy busy spring. So, here's to the first in a series of upcoming posts. The event below was fantastic. It was for a non-profit organization that puts on special events to raise funds to continue to operate and support its mission. What was so special was that this was not your ordinary annual awards show. They wanted to do something different than the everyday here's your honoree, video, call them up to receive... after the formalities we actually had all of the honorees come up to the stage and sit for a 30 minute panel presentation with Q&A relating to the organization's mission - Public/Government/Civic Leadership in Southern California. At this point we did a short formal presentation of the awards with photo opp. It was great because the audience got to really understand how dynamic the honorees were... L.A. County Supervisor Don Knabe served as our Master of Ceremonies.

The lights went down and the stage was lite up so the audience was pulled into the presentation...

Our silent auction was a huge hit! Thank you to all of the silent auction contributors... & Michelle's great item presentation. Then, Jennifer & Joella got to take a quick moment and pose for Molly's amazing camera!

Stay tuned until our next event post early next week! See you all soon.
