Three events in one day is a difficult task for any event planner, but three events in three SEPARATE cities is unheard of! Big Machine Label Group and Thomas Rhett decided to promote his new album Life Changes with three different listening parties in Boston, Philadelphia, and Chicago. Randi Events was up for the challenge- we handled all of the logistics and fan activation for the event! First up was Boston, then Thomas Rhett hopped a jet and flew to Philadelphia for show #2, and lastly he finished his three city concert series in Chicago. Designing an event in three cities was not the only obstacle we faced – we also had to plan the entire event without visiting the venue first. Reviewing the floor plans and developing a solid, trusting relationship with each venue’s management staff was key. With the growing popularity of Nashville, we were so proud and honored to represent the capital of country music, Big Machine Label Group, and Thomas Rhett on a national level!

The Academy of Country Music Awards are one of the highlights of the year for the Country community. Fans, artists and radio personalities take over Las Vegas to celebrate another fabulous year of great music, incredible songwriters, show-stopping tours and storytelling music videos. This year’s show promised to be something special, and we were thrilled to be along for the ride. Our involvement with the ACMs this time around was the biggest in Randi Events history, with 5 events throughout the weekend. CEO Randi Lesnick and our team flew to Vegas to make the impossible possible in the party capital of the world.

It all started with a party for Big Machine Label Groups’ own Thomas Rhett, one of the newest spokespersons for the General Mills organization, Outnumber Hunger. The radio remote and private performance went off without a hitch – it was the perfect way to kick off the weekend. Our crew spent the next few days getting ready for the big event, Sunday’s awards, walking through venues to make sure everything was ready to go. Load-ins started across the city as our great partner vendors got to work bringing our designer’s plans to life.

The first event on Sunday was a pre-show party for aviation mogul CESSNA, backstage at the TMobile arena. Blue couches and lighting and beautiful draping provided the perfect setting for staff to mix and mingle before the awards began. The highlight of the event was the Big Machine artists who stopped by to say hello.

Once the Awards show let out it was time for us to really do our thing. Thousands of show attendees flocked to after parties, and we threw two of the biggest ones. Sony Music Nashville artists, staff and friends headed to the HYDE lounge in the TMobile arena, where we partnered with Hostess Snacks to create a delicious and creative display of their best products. The folks from Big Machine Label Group enjoyed their own party with food, drink, and music at Sake Rok on the Vegas strip. Everyone had a great time celebrating the night’s winners and looking back on a stellar year.
We’re so proud of our involvement with the ACMs this year. Thanks to every Las Vegas vendor, venue and partner who helped make this happen. Until next time!

Our team had a blast kicking off CRS 2016 week with Big Machine Label Group. Let us tell you why…

With a Mardi-Gras theme and performances by “A Thousand Horses,” “The Cadillac Three,” Drake White and Steven Tyler w/ “Loving Mary,” the energy at aVenue was contagious.

“A Thousand Horses” started off the night with a few songs, including their single “Smoke.” Followed by all of aVenue singing along to “All About the South” with “The Cadillac Three.” Drake White brought his energetic personality to stage with a few performances and Steven Tyler rocked our socks off bringing the night to a close.

“G Catering and Events” made aVenue feel like you were walking down Bourbon St. with beignets, andouille, red beans, and rice arancini.

Purple & green linen, with a gold overlay, covered the round, high tables and traditional colors filled the venue  – giving it the true Mardi Gras feel.

BMLG took over aVenue last night and we loved every minute of it!

Venue: The Rosewall

Event Designer: Julia Page

Every year when the CMA Post party planning begins, the creative juices start flowing in the Randi Events office. Always trying to top our own events, and surprise our clients, we try and think of new a creative ways to host the infamous CMA after parties.

This year when we met with Big Machine Label Group we wanted to not just have an amazing party, but create an experience for all who attended. This year BMLG hosted a fun filled After Party at Rosewall and turned the space into a Mid Summers Night Dream styled event. Vintage furniture, ficus trees all around, and a very special performance from The Mavericks made it a night to remember.
