Art of Celebration - NY Style

I went to a great gathering last night with all of Philadelphia's top event professionals at Feastivities to learn about a book that may be produced about event designers, florists, etc. in Philly. The book is by Panache Publishing.

Panache has a similar book out now about New York. The name is Art of Celebration: The Making of a Gala - NY Style.



Ed Libby of Ed Libby and Company was there and so was Ira Levy of Levy Lighting. They both are amazingly talented and have worked on so many fabulous events, check out some of their work below....


This peacock design by Ed Libby is so cool!

And here's another design by Ed Libby...


Levy Lighting does a lot of really awesome stuff too!

Gabriella New York, Part 2

Good Morning Gang!

As promised, I have some amazing images from the wonderful cocktail party at Gabriella New York last Thursday. The space was so pretty and in such an awesome location which made it the perfect backdrop for the intimate gathering. The ultra creative Callahan Catering worked their magic to create fun bite size goodies including the cutest miniature soft pretzels and miniature mugs of beer and as always, their presentation was so unique! Not only was the food terrific, sweet centerpieces designed by Artfool were the perfect addition to the simple linen cloths. The party would not have been complete without the amazing sounds from Elan Artists! I was in awe of Taylor McFerrin who is one of their artists, you have to check him out along with all of their other talents musicians.

A huge THANKS to Josh at Elan Artists for the invitation & for these amazing images! It was one great party!
Enjoy,
Beka
