We got the call…
Three weeks to plan an over-the-top birthday party for 50 guests.
The TableArt team went into high gear brainstorming about all of the details
– the invitation, decor, menu, lighting, photography, and entertainment.
What better venue than Stephen Starr Events exclusive space Tangerine.
The ambiance and the atmosphere were perfect and the catering was top notch.
The client loved it!
With three weeks and counting and we had to move fast.
Much time and effort goes into the planning of an event.
Marie Labbancz was there to capture images of the details prior to guest arrival.
She is incredibly talented and always a pleasure to work with.
Led by a path of sultry candles and moss balls, guests felt like they were walking
into a private club as they entered Tangerine from Market Street.
As soon as guests arrived to the main event space, they realized they were in store for an extraordinary evening with a visual WOW factor of 10. With linens, lighting, and decor, Tangerine can be transformed into whatever vision a client may have.
Yes, we brought many lighters to light the hundreds of candles!
Factoring the time it takes to light the candles before guests arrive is always taken into consideration when creating time lines and assigning staff responsibilities for an event of this caliber. We always bring a “just in case” box to each event that includes everything imaginable – from Band-Aids to Windex.
So that when the client arrives everything is perfect and they can enjoy
a signature Stephen Starr Events cocktail. The cocktails for this particular event were chosen from the latest Stephen Starr Restaurant, Talula’s Garden.
The Artist – Sparkling Wine, Grapefruit Juice, Nasturtium Flower
The Beekeeper – Boozy Sun Tea, Wildflower Honey, Lavender Blossoms
The Wine Maker – “Spring-ria” White Wine, Fresh Fruit, Basil, Lemon Balm
No detail was overlooked.
To give the bar extra hotness, submerged cymbidium orchids topped with a floating candle were designed in modern straight sided glass cylinders and placed at staggered heights.
The bar was hot… but the raw bar carved out of ice and lit from below was sizzling!
Beautifully rolled-to-order sushi by Stephen Starr Events‘ in-house sushi chef
was part of the dairy and gluten free menu requested by the client.
The menu cards designed by Two PaperDolls looked fabulous placed on glass chargers and the leopard print linens were fun and unexpected for a male’s birthday party.
The client loved the dramatic effect of the stunning centerpieces.
There is nothing quite like the ambiance created from the back wall lit with over 80 votive candles. With all the elements pulled together, Tangerine looked amazing.
Guests played casino games throughout the evening provided by The Main Event.
Musical entertainment was provided by Minas Music
Every detail was considered.
No Nuts Nikki creatively displayed allergy free cupcakes
on silver candelabras adorned with glass beads.
Amazing birthday parties like this one keep the TableArt Team
on our toes and our creative juices flowing…fast!
Three weeks – no problem!
If you are considering hosting an upcoming event, we would love to join you…
