This Around the World event was unlike any other. In just one night, guests traveled from Atlanta, GA all the way to Greece, Japan and London! And get this- WM Events transported guests to all of these beautiful countries without even leaving the party! Guests were welcomed at the Georgia Freight Depot by a train engineer while they grabbed their passports to prepare for the night of world traveling! Social Box made an appearance to allow the guests to have take-away photo strips of the energetic night.
In the Atlanta room, guests enjoyed a live jazz band and luxury lounge furniture. Vintage illuminated letters were hung in front of dramatic drapery to complete the look and feel of the room. Luxurious linens covered the cocktail and highboy tables, while elegant red, white and blue floral arrangements added pops of color.
Next stop: Greece! Dramatic cyan lights highlighted the Parthenon structure backdrop. Nearby, wooden market carts were styled with ancient statues, flags, baskets and relics to pull the Greek atmosphere together. Marble columns served as the bases for elegant, natural centerpieces on traditional highboy tables as well as communal, light-up highboys.
As guests moved deeper into the venue, Japan was the next stop on the travel itinerary. Lanterns hanging from an oversized Japanese pagoda, bamboo centerpieces and a sushi bar gave the guests a glimpse of the Japanese culture. Modern, black and red furniture offered gathering points for guests to congregate.
Last stop: London! Big Ben and armored knights set the scene for this English party. An Union Jack umbrella installation hung from the ceiling and the Queen’s crowns dressed the tables. Red and blue satin linens carried the theme through the table design.
At the end of the night, a flash mob entertained guests while the desserts descended from the ceiling on a motorized truss! A stage backdrop of crystal chandeliers provided the perfect setting for Party Nation to rock the house all night long. Thematic signage replicated old train station stops to signify the delicious food stations.
