All Set: Fourteen Hours- Two Events

Over the past few months, I have had the pleasure of working with a mother daughter duo who were straight from the pages of Martha Stewart. Their creativity was unmeasurable and their design input was always spot on. The reason for the perfect union between All Set and dynamic duo was to plan Amanda's Bat Mitzvah.

The day would consist of two parts: 1. a luncheon 2. an evening of dinner and dancing. The luncheon was held directly after the service at Beth El Temple in San Mateo, CA. The evening event was hosted at La Honda Winery, Redwood City, CA. Both venues were perfectly fit to host a special event and very accommodating from a coordinators point of view.

From the beginning, Amanda and her mother stressed the importance of a "one-of-a-kind" celebration. They came to the right place! Everything was custom made for their events; from place cards to vases, the events were unique through and through.

LUNCHEON: Beth El Temple, San Mateo

It is important to design to all sides when you are working with round tables- here the back of the 'AMANDA' flags noted the date of the event and the photo pops were all double sided.

EVENING EVENT: La Honda Winery, Redwood City

Amanda's wishing tree where guests were able to give her special birthday wishes.

This 3D "AMANDA" sign acted as a barrier between the cocktail area and the space designated for dinner service.

Among the guests, the most popular activity was the dress up photo booth, compliments of3,2,1 Photo. I am always beyond satisfied with the service provided by 3,2,1 Photo - a fabulous vendor and must know for all party planners, hosts, and hostesses alike. They have recently added a great feature to their already stellar product- they produce a memory book on the spot of all the photos that are taken by guests. Party goers then have the opportunity to write a message next to their fun photo strip. All Set made custom photo sleeves for guests that wanted to take the extra copy home with them.
