Festive Holiday Tradeshow & Mixer

This annual holiday trade show and mixer for Saturn Barter was perhaps the most festive and Christmasy design of the season! December is our company's busiest month of the year, yet oddly enough, our clients rarely ask for traditional decor.

This event was warm and inviting to guest with a rich color pallet of cardinal red and forest greens with pops of gold. Nestled in a faux forest, the 32ft stage was dressed in brocade and burgundy satin drapery. Victorian lamp posts stood to the sides while garland and holiday wreaths accented the stage.

The dining tables were adorned with gilt candlesticks, topiary spheres, evergreen boughs accented with cherry red spheres heralding the holiday season. The smaller cocktail tables were decorated with centerpieces of Crimson mosaic candle holders, evergreen boughs accented with cherry red spheres.

The PJ Hummel & Company trade show booth was inspired by old Hollywood Glamour with a color pallet of platinum and champagne with sterling accents. Two swarovski crystal tufted moon chairs created a lounge near industrial inspired podiums. Ornate silver candelabras dotted the landscape with LED pillar candles. Champagne and silver satin drapery was pulled back to reveal diamond beaded drapery, while a 14 ft tall metal tree displayed crystal chandeliers.

Mid Century at The Waterfront Marriot

This Holiday event was mid century modern / Mad Men inspired with a color pallet of orange, teal, and sage green. The cocktail lounge was set with two vintage soft seating areas with Italian made vintage dutch modern chairs! Our wooden glow bars were set in front of a black velvet inspired hand-painted backdrop. Ceiling high white satin drapery was uplit in hues of blue to coordinate with the bars, cocktail linens, and carpeting.

Guests entered the main dinning room through a 10 ft wide section of silver beaded drapery. The Ballroom was draped in black satin with a round stage inspired by The Ed Sullivan Show. The backdrop was detailed in X shaped tiles. Tables were dressed in moire linens with over-sized cocktail glass lamps. Four corner tables had special booth seating for a classic '60s dinner theater look. Each table setting had a custom cookie cigar as a desert or take-home treat!

Around the World Holiday at The Museum of Flight

A holiday party celebrating a company's branches in Asia, Europe, and the US. The Museum of Flight was embellished with thematic decor to embody each region.



Europe featured wine barrel bars and buffets inspired by Italy, along with French market table-scapes with blue check linens and the Eiffel tower!



The US section was inspired by our very own city of Seattle. A Space Needle replica took center stage with Native American mask centerpieces, and our iconic Pike Place Market sign.



Asia featured a red satin entry archway and a large sushi buffet with two glow bars and a large Asian vignette.
