So
we are not exactly know for doing birthdays or weddings, however once in a
while we enjoy taking up on one of those private type of events. Early July
2013 we had the pleasure to put together a birthday party for an adorable 9
year old lady who wanted to celebrate her 10th birthday with her
friends and family. The first step was to sit down with her, mom and dad to
figure out what they had in mind; fortunately for us they knew exactly what
they wanted so we were able to move on to the planning stage right away.
The Bday Girl (that’s how we will call her) didn’t
want the typical “all girly” pink, rainbows and barbies type of party… instead
she wanted to have a party at a “club” and as long as mom and dad were ok with
it, it sounded like a fun concept: a disco-club party for children, where
adults could have fun as well. Once we knew what date they had in mind we
started scouting for potential venues; after presenting 3 good options the
decision was made (we loved them for making decisions quickly). Rouge Lounge
is a waterfront restaurant-lounge located on the 163rd
street causeway close to Sunny Isles Beach, FL (our client’s neighborhood); a
low key place that caters to a discerning upscale clientele, with indoor and
outdoor sitting, it was just perfect for us. Our client rented the whole venue
for the day which made our job a lot easier, of course.
The
next steps were critical: we had to come up with the party schedule to keep
children and adults busy; for the children we hired an amazing professional who
specializes in entertaining children for birthdays and private parties, and did
a fantastic job keeping those kids on their toes with games, dance numbers and
contests all night long, while “club performers” showed up from time to time to
wow them with awesome costumes and effects. Of course we had a live VJ (Video
DJay) who played the coolest beats while the music videos were shown on his
booth and a gigantic screen.
A
buffet table for the kids had a selection of healthy mini-dishes, easy to
grab-eat-and-go, while the bartender was mixing colorful “virgin cocktails”
(without alcohol) in (disposable) champagne and martini glasses for the
mini-ladies and gents.
While
the children were having a blast inside, in the outdoor terrace the adults had
their own party going on, enjoying a fabulous selection of Russian inspired
food, champagne and cocktails; the lounges and set up outside was exactly what
the client expected so we only gave it a final touch of décor with beautiful
arrangements of red roses as center tables, and a few hanging from the ceiling.
A
few days before all these magic happened, the client asked us at the very last
minute (of course), if we could produce a video-invitation for them to send to
their guests; they had already sent a “save the date” notice but now the
Birthday Girl wanted a cool video, and she was very specific with what she
wanted: a cartoon-style similar to the Wimpy Kid (for those who (just like me)
have no idea what this is, just google it, which would incorporate her favorite
sport: tennis.
To
make a long story short, in 5 days our creative team conceptualized, created,
got approved and produced an adorable mini-video…

This was a truly rewarding experience, one of those that make our job worthwhile, dynamic and enjoyable… nothing better than a nice “thank you” email after an event, from a happy client.
