Event Name:  BMLG-CRS
Event Date:  Feb. 8, 2016
Event Designer:  Julia Page
Venue:  aVenue

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!

Event Name: Randi Events Corporate Holiday Party
Event Date: January 16, 2016
Event Designers: Julia Page & Summer Jones
Venue: Marathon Music Works

When the idea of bringing a “winter wonderland” to Marathon Music Works for our January 16^th corporate holiday party came about, we were SO excited to get started!! Nashville was finally getting chilly and what better way to celebrate the new year than with an icy blue-out event?! It wasn’t quite cold enough for snow at the time, but we found a way to make it snow in Nashville! Guest walked into the venue under a light dusting of “snow” as we brought the winter wonderland to life.

We brought in all white leather and silver metallic furniture (yes, silver metallic!!) adorned with white fur rugs and our favorite cozy white fireplaces. All tables were dressed in white sequin linen to really make the room’s blue wash ‘pop’.  Now for the table arrangements – WOW! The Enchanted Florist blew us away with their modern, white florals with white feather accents.  They were the perfect touch in creating our crisp, iced-out event.

Attendees had the option of challenging their co-workers in ski-ball and basketball shoot outs.  Whether they were playing games or making silly faces in the photo booth, they definitely found time to sketch on the 12×12 virtual graffiti wall we brought in.  Here’s the scoop: You take your photo in front of the green screen and then are able to “spray” virtual graffiti on your picture to add fun touches.

When planning the menu, we really wanted traditional winter dishes.  G Catering knocked our socks off with their classic pot roast and sausage stuffing, no guests left hungry!

With all the crazy chaos that’s surrounding our world today, we wanted to take a minute, slow down and reflect on the things for which we are truly grateful. I sat down with our entire staff to find out what they’ll be celebrating this Thanksgiving.

Randi: “I’m thankful for our new Randi Events’ office we just purchased on Music Row and my dog Rudy’s clean teeth!”

Allen: “I’m thankful for a great caretaker (Randi) after my surgery and my brand new hip!”

Julia: “I’m thankful for my parents and wine”

Sarah: “I’m thankful for cuddle time with my kids and my husband’s cooking!”

Ellen: “I’m thankful for my family/friends and most all queso and honey mustard!”

Summer: “I’m thankful for my wonderful family, fabulous friends and Joe Walsh in all of his forms and Saint Anejo Margaritas!”

Grey: “I’m thankful that I work with a bunch of talented ladies and that I’ll be in 70 degree weather for the holiday!”

Alexa: “I’m thankful for being able to see all my friends and family this holiday season and especially thankful for the boy who just put a new sparkly ring on my finger!”

Natalie: “I’m thankful that I was raised in a small town with a big heart and champagne, definitely champagne!”

We are most thankful for our amazing clients and vendors and the business we’ve done with each of you this year! We couldn’t love you guys more. From our table to yours, Happy Thanksgiving!

Event Name: Cessna Lounge
Event Date: November 4, 2015
Venue: Bridgestone Arena
Event Designer: Julia Page

Cessna really wanted to make their out of town guests feel at home in Music City, so we created a Cessna lounge for them at the Bridgestone Arena.

A room that is usually fluorescent lights, yellow walls, and dull carpets, we transformed into a welcoming space for their guests. Wanting to make the room fresh and clean, and really true to the Cessna brand, we did all-white décor with sleek white leathers and over the top centerpieces. We adorned the walls with some black and white pictures of Cessna’s in gold vintage frames to tie in some personal touches for the group.

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 BMLG hosted a fun filled After Party at Rosewall and turned the space into a Mid Summers Night Dream styled event.

Event Name: Williams/Kelly Wedding

Event Date: August 22, 2015

Event Designers: Julia Page & Sarah Ann Miller

Venue: The Cordelle

When two of your favorite clients have a child that is getting married, then the next step naturally is to plan the wedding for him and his future Mrs.! This is what led us to plan the wonderful union of Meg Williams and Andy Kelly at The Cordelle in Nashville!

From the start, when they met in middle school, these two were lovebirds! They were best friends that shared laughs and days filled with fun! When they both returned to Nashville after college they realized they may be more than “just friends” and a beautiful relationship was formed! The wedding took place on an August 22nd and the outside garden area was set for drinks, fun, and don’t forget a Characteristic to capture all the guests’ smiling faces. The décor was romantic and light, just like the couple. Blush accents were utilized in the florals and drape, but what would a wedding be without a little bit of bling! The linens that were used on the guests’ tables brought in just the right amount of gold glitz to make this day really sparkle! Eric Blue rocked the night away, with a guest appearance from our very own bride, Meg Kelly! When the lights came up and the couple left, they were swept away in a vintage Rolls Royce! A perfect night, for a perfect couple!

Event Name: Rare Country
Event Date: October 14, 2015
Event Designer: Julia Page
Venue: White Ave Studios

Rare Country could not have had a better presentation for their local Nashville friends. Utilizing geo mapping for their custom presentations, They hit it out of the park!

Making sure their guests were comfortable and relaxed during the presentation they raised the bar for the standard PowerPoint presentations. Creating artwork on the walls that were interchanging between slides, this is definitely something Labels and Industry individuals alike will be talking about the “Rare” presentations for days to come! Randi events was so proud to be part of this special occasion and wish them all the best with the launch of their wonderful site.
