Emerald City Applause Awards 2013

Last week we had a fabulous evening at Fremont Studios for ISES - Seattle Chapter's Emerald City Applause Awards! We took home TWO new awards last night!

*Best Event Marketing Campaign for the Microsoft Visual Studio Launch
*Best Design/Decor Budget Under $25,000 for our Vagabond Swamp!

Woohoo!

Best Event Decor Provider in Washington!

We are so excited to announce our newest award from last night! Thank you so much to our loyal partners, friends, and clients for voting for us!

We won Best Florist / Event Decor Provider in Washington by Northwest Meetings + Events Magazine's Best of 2012 Awards!

We have two projects featured, one from Weddings in Woodinville, and one from a project with Blue Danube - a Wizard of Oz theme that's up for the ISES Esprit Awards!

The Emerald City!

Today we're revisiting St. Joes Auction from last year. This is the event we won an Emerald City Applause Award (how fitting!...) for Best Industry Organization Team Effort Budget $25,001-$100,000. A combination of Hollywood Lighting, Blue Danube Productions, & PJ Hummel & Company transformed St. Joesph School's auditorium intro a magical Wizard of Oz Fantasy world for their annual fundraiser!

We created the delightful entry with our iridescent green drape and our over-sized red poppies. The lighting was spectacular with the school's architecture, beautiful entrance inside & out!

Inside the ballroom, we lined the walls with our 20' high white satin drape, which was then uplit in green - furthering the Emerald City theme. We also designed two 12' long diamond chandeliers with crystal orbs suspended inside, and lined with lush white feathers!

Thank you David Wentworth Photography for these wonderful shots!

2012 ECA Award Winners!

Last night was The Emerald City Applause Awards by ISES, and what a night! We won not one but THREE awards!



•Best Event Marketing Campaign
for GOG at PAX Prime
With marketing goals such as sharing the concept of their company on a brand new platform, creating mass media attention, and cutting even with the cost of the event; GOG.com was able to exceed these goals and steal the show at the largest gaming tradeshow in the United States. This was accomplished not by the traditional gamer aesthetic of bright, large, and loud; but through two very different approaches rarely used at gamer tradeshows: scent and nostalgia. Our team played a key role in this exciting achievement.


•Best Event for a Corporation Budget $25,001-$100,000
for Night At The Museum
‘A Night at the Museum’ in the Museum of Natural Mystery was a progressive Halloween event designed for multi-age guests at the Microsoft Commons. The event started two weeks before Halloween, gradually morphing The Commons into a haunted Museum of Natural Mystery. The climax occurred on Halloween day with ‘A Night at the Museum’ inspired Haunted House built inside a four room meeting space. As attendees wandered through thematic galleries, displays came to life (with actors from Clowns Unlimited)while sensory accents created an ambience of suspense. Our goal was to create & deliver an exciting and unexpected experience following a believable yet enchanted storyline to an anticipated 15,000 guests.

Women of Influence Ceremony

Last night we decorated and attended The Business examiner's 2011 Women of Influence Ceremony - of which PJ was a recipient. It was an action packed night of delicious hors d'oeuvre, great decor, and amazing women. Here are some of our snap shots. See more photos of the night by DG Studios here.

PJ Hummel at PAX 2011

Good Old.... Grannies!

This past weekend PJ Hummel & Company could be found at PAX Prime 2011, helping out with booth design for the folks at Good Old Games. This was certainly one of the most unique booths at the expo. While everyone else was trying to catch gamers’ eyes with the flashiest new technology and gigantic sculptures of game villains swooping down from the ceiling, GOG took a slightly different approach. They took inspiration from the past, we all remember those days, sitting in our family’s basement, gaming in solitude for hours on end, while grandma sat upstairs baking cookies and wishing we would come out and say “hi” sometime before the sun went down. You know this was you at one point. Well, you would have felt right at home at GOG’s booth at PAX Prime.

PJ Hummel designs granny's living room! :) We even won Best Booth Babe Costume at PAX...
nerdist.com & The Stranger even mentioned it! Congrats to GOG for their success this year!

Secret Garden Wedding

We have been dying to share this event since June! It was gorgeous, unique, and featured in the new issue of South Sound Wedding & Event Magazine! (hence the wait!)

This ECAA Award winning wedding was to be unlike any other; a wedding that would encompass traditional Hindu customs as well as modern elements with over-the-top decadence. This was achieved and surpassed with unique components such as a Baraat procession, a custom made Mandap altar, and elaborate décor consisting of rich garnet draperies, thousands of red roses, and an abundance of golden accents.
