After being nominated in four categories, our WM Events team brought home a win for Best Social Event (Over $50K) at the 28th Annual Allie Awards earlier this month. These awards honor achievements in the Atlanta event industry – they are basically the Academy Awards for local events. In addition to the solo award, we served as part of the event team for four other winning projects this year.
For our winning Savannah Chic Anniversary event, a surprise 40th wedding anniversary party, we coordinated an epic undercover operation that allowed a husband to delight his wife and 100 of her closest friends and family. Held at the Atlanta History Center, this Southern-theme event was kept totally top secret during the planning. Even more special, the couple happened to be the parents of the bride of the first wedding William planned when he opened WM Events in Atlanta more than a decade ago.
Our client’s primary objective was to honor his wife in a big way that would be fun, comfortable and high end. We secretly learned of her favorite flavors, colors and tunes in a way not to let on that anything was in the making. This couple is dear to William, and we are thrilled that their celebration was honored by the Allie Awards!
WM partners also won several additional awards for submissions in which WM Events played an important role:
The Best AV Design Winner was Active Production & Design for its Company Milestone Celebration, a grand corporate affair planned and produced by WM Events. Active Production & Design also took home a Best Use of Media / Technology award for this event.
PWP Studio earned a Best Event Photography award for Capturing the Future of Hospitality, another corporate event planned and executed by the WM Events team.
Finally, Allied PRA won Best Event Corporate / Association (Over $100,000) for its Sip, Splash, Southern Bash!, an event for which WM Events handled event design.
