Budget Between $30,000 and $100,000 The Arrangers Denver "Cirque du Mart," the grand opening party for the Denver Merchandise Mart's new meeting and seminar areas, featured illusionary sights and rhythmic sounds. Performances, culinary art and lifelike ice carvings highlighted the new facility and the Mart's catering department.

EventWorks Los Angeles "Bizarre Bazaar" was a fantasy environment featuring interactive attractions, ranging from high-tech games to a full-sized Ferris wheel. From the high-tech to the highly quirky, the attractions kept guests moving throughout the evening. The event was complemented by an offbeat menu and wild, Cirque-style performers.

An Original Occasion Los Angeles A new San Diego community located in an area of barren hills was transformed into a medieval village, with the use of tent configurations and floral, prop and design techniques. Costumed staff served an Edwardian feast. More than 1,000 guests attended the event and were entertained by fortune tellers, jugglers, dancers and magicians.
