The 24-hour train journey included gourmet meals, fine wines and a rollicking party that rolled through four countries.

Upon arrival in Venice, guests were whisked to the Hotel Cipriani and a masquerade ball featuring a performance by Kylie Minogue.

From the team at Kristin Banta Events, a b'nai mitzvah themed to "The Magic of Music and Literature."

Two years in the planning, this b’nai mitzvah showcased the twins’ unique personalities by highlighting their individual passions and talents, largely focusing on literature and classical music.

In order to captivate kids and adults alike, the Kristin Banta team developed an innovative, experiential concept that transported guests into a whimsical setting from the moment they entered the event.

Music and literature were brought to life as instruments and books took flight throughout the space.

From the RK Group, “Circus World Celebration: Under the Big Top."

Celebrating 95^th birthday of a beloved mother, business pioneer and community leader, this event took 850 guests back to a World War II-era victory party, then to a mid-20^th century circus.

Three immersive environments were created in three main event tents, supported by half a dozen secondary tents in a site offering little infrastructure.

Entertainment ranged from three dozen authentic circus performers, Indian elephants and WWII-style bands to country legend Lee Greenwood.
