Canadian Event Industry Awards

We are so incredible flattered and proud to have won a Canadian Special Events Award, alongside R5 Event Management and Design, for Whimsical World of Avatar, Madelyn’s Bat Mitzvah! The award was for best event décor under $30,000 and we could not be more honoured!

Madelyn’s Bat Mitzvah was an absolutely outstanding event! The theme and the décor elements were unique and one of a kind and the Avatar meets Midsummer Night’s Dream theme perfectly aligned with Madelyn’s spunky, colourful and creative personality.

One of the most awe-inspiring décor aspect was the 35ft x 20ft two-tier crystal chandelier that we hung over top of the dance floor. The chandelier was filled with Twinkling LED Lights for that starry night effect. Guests truly felt like they were outside, dancing under a starry night, in a mystical environment, surrounded by glowing lights.

The reception room had a plethora of different sized and shaped tables, giving the space a very whimsical layout. Each large round table had a custom designed 12ft purple Wisteria tree coming out of the centre. The tree branches and leaves draped over the entire table, creating an intimate, yet whimsical environment for guests during dinner.

In between the four oversized tables stood two 8ft mirrored tables. Each mirrored table was filled with low floral centerpieces in different heights. Purple phalaenopsis orchids were cascading to create a floral wave affect on each table. Fairy Berries were also placed throughout the florals to continue with the whimsical Avatar theme. Finally, the kids’ tables were lined with a rectangle structure with cascading florals, similar to the trees, and floating LED Fairy Berries. The remaining guest tables were 5’ft Purple Wisteria trees placed on round tables with a low floral arrangement and LED Fairy Berries. Each tree also had LED string lights, further enhancing the whimsical fantasy effect throughout the entire space.

On the night of, all of the guests were completely wowed and felt like they were taken to a magical and mystical place. Most importantly, the Bat Mitzvah girl, Madelyn, was blown away by the décor and loved every part of the evening.

Unique Entertainment Ideas

A wedding is a fabulous opportunity for a couple to add a distinctive touch to their special day. Couples are always striving to add something unique to their nuptials, a takeaway memory for guests to remember long after the day comes to an end. An excellent way to incorporate a special aspect of your wedding is through the use of entertainment at your wedding. Couples can tailor their music, visual displays, and other entertainment in unique ways that represents who they are as a couple.

One such idea is to hire a live artist to capture and paint a memorable part of the wedding, such as the ceremony or couple’s first dance. Pieces of your wedding day are depicted on canvas through an array of beautiful watercolours that brings the moment back to life, as you and your loved one look at the painting years down the road. Memories and events of the day are painted as they unfold, and the canvas is presented to the couple on the same day. Once the painting is completed, you will have it to cherish and treasure for years to come. One of the most talented live artists in the industry is Olga Pankova. She is a gifted, prolific artist who can capture the memories and events of the day, in acrylic paint, on any size canvas. Her paintings are true works of art!

Wedding Video Scavenger Hunt

Bring out the inner kid in your guests by setting up a scavenger hunt using your wedding video! Have items from your video hidden and scattered throughout the venue and appoint your bridal party to be the leaders or information guides in the game. Guests will have a thrill looking for special items that the bride and groom cherished as kids. Make sure that there is an awesome prize waiting for the guest who finishes first!

 

 

 

Reception Dance Lessons for the Guests

Another cool way to spice up entertainment at your reception is to hire a dance instructor to teach your guests a fun and simple dance. The dance can be anything you want – not too hard, and not too lengthy though – and you can even tie it in with your ethnic background to make it special and unique for the event. This is a fun way to get everybody to mingle out on the dance floor, and you can be sure that it will make for lots of laughs and great memories.
