Event Decor Winners

“Best of 2009″

International Special Event Society / Arizona  

Ken and I are so honored that the Arizona Events Industry awarded Show Stoppers the “Zonie” for “Best Event Decor 2009.”  The award was presented at the annual I.S.E.S. awards dinner which was held at the Hotel Valley Ho in Scottsdale Arizona on May 13th.

Show Stoppers won the accolades by transforming the cavernous Pavilion at the Scottsdale Princess into a Las Vegas night club for 800 guests. The project was brought to the attention of I.S.E.S. by Deb Beggs of Tri-Rentals in Phoenix.  You may SEE THE TIME LAPSE VIDEO HERE :

We were approached by Benfield Inc. to design a cool Las Vegas style night club for a group of 800 guests at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess Resort.  The challenge was to transform a cavernous 8000 sq. foot space into an electric environment to complement a concert by Earth Wind and Fire.  Hardly any flowers were used except for one large design above the bar.  Show Stoppers designed this event from the carpet up.  I thought I would put this on our blog because so many people think all we do is flowers.  We do it all!  Click on the photos ( especially the one below ) to get the full effect.

I designed elevated V.I.P. areas with groupings of white leather furniture that broke up the space and provided great views of the band.  Ruby red glass cubes with candles and red and black pillows finished the look.

We ordered special retro style gobos that added lovely patterns and textures of light to the carpet and furniture.

A colonnade of 16 palm trees that were 15ft. tall greeted guests as they entered.  Yards upon yards of billowing white voile fabric was draped and back lit in ruby red to give energy to the room.
