Simply Mumtaz Time Lapse - Treasures Event Set Up!

Hey all! We planned out this time lapse and we think it's pretty cool! It's at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites! Let us know what you think.

Simply Mumtaz Talks Green at the Santa Barbara Event Professionals

President of Simply Mumtaz Events, Inc, Joella Hopkins, CSEP, CMP recently spoke at one of the Santa Barbara Event Professionals events held at Classic Party Rentals. Clayton Frech and Joella spoke about the big vision in going green and how to get there! It was a great event. The event was planned to be a zero waste event... Which means nothing from the event will end up in the landfill - it will all be diverted to recycling or composting.

Everything served was either reusable or compostable. The very cool new plateware made from Palm Leaves. Great looking too. If you're interested, please email us - info@simplymumtaz.com.

We also had to take a photo of the dessert / candy display. They always look so good!

Thank you to the Santa Barbara Event Professionals for having us present at your meeting.

Simply Mumtaz - Palm Springs - Monday Night Reception on the Pool Deck

Hey everybody! We're feverishly at work for our upcoming Spring events! Thank you to all of our clients and team members for keeping us busy!


I thought I'd share some of the super awesome photos I just got from Michael Norwood, who came out to Palm Springs to shoot our recent event.

Check'em out!







Pretty cool, if we say so ourselves! :)

Crazy Pics with Simply Mumtaz Team and Client!

At our recent Conference in Palm Springs, we had a local vendor - LA Photo Party come out and be one of the main activities for attendees at the Monday Night Reception! So, here we are... I have to say our clients were all good sports - check them out!!

Palm Springs - Love coming out here!

This week is going to be a bit busy for Simply Mumtaz! Half of us still in Los Angeles and half in Palm Springs. We will be producing a 4 day conference in Palm Springs at the Wyndham. Registration opens at 130! We're ready, bring the attendees on! Plus, it's a gorgeous day in Palm Springs. Blue Skies, light breeze and a perfect 80 degrees.



But driving to Palm Springs from Los Angeles is always great because you get see all of the windmills creating energy. It's really a cool site. Check it out!




We'll post some more photos later in the week.

Go Green, Not Lean….
By Youngsong Martin

What comes to mind when people hear an event is “Going GREEN”? --- Recycle, reuse, reduce, lots of trees, browns, organic, simple, natural and the list goes on and on… But sometimes, I hear that people are wary of “Green Events” because although it’s a great way to save the environment, the design and details can take a back seat.

Don’t be afraid to have a “Green Event”. Going Green doesn’t mean you have to go lean.
Many industry experts and vendors have come up with creative ways to be “green” while still adding amazing design elements. There are so many resources now for clients to find more environmentally safe items; everything from soy-based candles to finding caterers who use only organic or locally grown produce. Our linen resources include a whole line of eco-friendly linens that are made of raw fibers and natural dyes. We love using these linens and matching them with vibrant colored napkins or florals to add a splash to the tabletop. Table rentals can be made out of recycled material but still look really fresh and untried. Florals, with their natural beauty, are always key.

Our feature in Today’s Bride Magazine highlight a choice of spring green and cocoa brown as the understated elements of the table, while letting a pop of fuchsia and pink from the florals become the focal point. An eco-friendly event can look just as creative and inspirational as any over-the-top lavished one while saving the environment at the same time. So next time, let’s add to the typical words that come to mind with “Going Green” to include fun, chic, colorful and trendy!
