Feature Friday

image

The final days of November are here—can you believe it? Hardly! There are so many great events coming up in December, we haven’t even had time to get our Black Friday on. No tears here, we’re more for the Cyber Monday technology goodness, anyway!

Onto the finds—these are some good ones, #eventprofs…

Featured Venue: The JW Marriott Essex House

image

image

An exclusive venue where modern meets contemporary and sophistication, the Essex House is a New York landmark and sure to create an event to remember. A wedding can seat up 550 people in the Beaux Arts style Grand Salon, and that same room is the largest meeting space with a maximum of 3,870 square feet. Crystal chandeliers and painted murals add to its elegance—but don’t just take our word for it—check out the venue and FAQs here.

With 20+ years of experience creating and orchestrating groundbreaking projects, AOC is on a mission to use their client’s vision as inspiration so to continue making a difference and making the world a little bit brighter. 

Get inspired and see what they’re all about here. 

Featured Event Fun: The Confetti Bar

From their seasonal creations to your own custom designs, it’s sure to create buzz at your next event, big or small. We’re already thinking of grabbing some sparkly goodness to toss at the next big NYC event.

What’s more: it’d be the perfect “filler” for this little DIY!

What happens when some of the world’s most influential “changemakers” come together? They make a difference. We were honored to be at the door of such an event this week for the Lower East Side Girls Club Grand Opening Gala, along with the Top Model herself, Tyra Banks, and other greats Rosario Dawson, Simon Doonan and Jonathan Adler.

Guests checked-in and according to color received a bracelet to assign their seating for the dinner portion of the evening. The night was a huge success—take a look.

Onto our #FeatureFriday faves for the week!

Featured Venue: 404

The folks at 404 NYC encourage the originality and creativity from #eventprofs to bring out the uniqueness of the space. A custom-made built-in bar makes it the perfect place to host a cocktail party of up to 500 guests, or to use as an added detail to your corporate event, wedding or fashion show (MBFW is quickly approaching!). The venue also has street access, ideal for automotive use—or any other creative ideas you can think up. What’s more, you get spectacular views of NYC’s High-line from the Mezzanine level of the space.
