“Wild West Experience” at St. Regis

Posted on by

St. Regis Hotel was the location of a willing group of guests from far and wide who gathered to meet friends and learn the ways of the old West. Delectable food was served, foot-stomping music was performed and folks jumped back in time to the days of the wide open frontier.

Lewis Events brought the adventure to life with virtual calf roping, gold panning, trick roping, and real-life Western heroes. Brave participants rolled up their sleeves and did their best to rope the cow before it ran off to the wide-open prairie.

Forty-niners heard the call of gold discovered in Park City and rushed to stake their claim. Miners ferociously panned for riches in the Wasatch range rivers and streams with the occasional cry of “Eureka” heard over the music drifting from the local saloon.

After an evening of roping, panning, and calf gathering, Park City has a whole new slew of Cowgirls and Cowboys to tame the West.

Happy Birthday Pasadena . . . Lights, Camera, Action!

Pasadena Museum of History Celebration

Lewis Events was recently invited to participate in the City of Pasadena’s 138th birthday celebration held at the Pasadena Museum of History. The special occasion was hosted in conjunction with their new exhibition entitled, “LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION! Hollywood Magic in Pasadena“, “which highlights the city’s intrinsic role in the multidimensional world of filmmaking”. Guests were welcomed with a movie premier grand entrance and snapped pictures in a movie-making photo vignette.

Key areas of the museum property featured iconic scenes from popular blockbuster films accompanied by costumed characters. A replica, “Back to the Future” time machine Delorean was also spotlighted.

The Fényes Mansion served as a beautiful background for the theater-style snack bar, DJ, and featured entertainment. Each hour dances from popular films were performed and taught to the willing audience. Dances included Hand Jive, Thriller, Wednesday Adams, Footloose, and the entire YMCA routine.

Christy served as MC for the formal portion of the program and led the crowd in singing “Happy Birthday Pasadena”, with Pasadena’s Mayor Victor M. Gordo performing the honorary cake cutting.

Pasadena locations have been featured in films including Father of the Bride, The Sting, La La Land, and Back to the Future. We enjoyed bringing the silver screen alive for Pasadena and hope for another amazing 138 years!

Party Till The Cows Come Home

Posted on by

Nothing like having a western party in a milking barn.  Our bovine friends were polite, quiet, did not eat too much and had a very positive attitude as long as they got their turn on the milking machine.Lewis Events was proud to be part of a company party held in the Millenial Barn located at the Orange County Fairgrounds.  It’s an ideal location for a western theme party, offering a perfect country atmosphere . . . . cows included.

The guests enjoyed a variety of interesting activities including gold panning, cowboy games, line dancing, great food and lively music.

Right in the middle of the party festivities, the cows filed in and in an orderly fashion, took their place at the milking machine.  It wasn’t long before the guests took notice and crowded to see the milking take place.  I must admit this was an interesting first for Lewis Events and definitely added another dimension to the event.

Emily came away from the experience with some new friends.

Celebrate 80’s Style

Posted on by

Neon Colors + Queen + Back to the Future + Skittles = The 80’s.  A client decided they wanted their annual awards banquet 80’s style.  So Lewis Events waved the magic wand and transformed the Newport Hyatt ballroom into a new wave, fluorescent bowl of hip nostalgia.  

While carefully cradling cocktails, guests left their mark on one of the graffiti walls that invited their signature works of art.

Guests had plenty of time to solve the rubik’s cube puzzle and to consume the pile of carbs placed on their table.

The main stage was adorned with plenty of neon and pop culture reminders of attendees younger days.

Lights, Camera, Universal!

Posted on by

Universal studios and a select few of the amazing, nearby, culinary establishments were gracious enough to once again host a Club PIHRA special event.  Human Resource professionals from around southern Califonia gathered for another unforgettable evening at the entertainment captol of LA.  The afternoon and  evening featured a wide array of activities, beginning in the Globe theater, with time for networking between HR practitioners and recreational and entertainment destinations and services.  A wide array of amusement parks, event planners, and benefit services featured displays and the latest promotions.   Professional relationships were established over scrumptious tray passed hors d’oeuvres and ice cold beverages.

Following networking, guests benefitted from a legal education session that brought practitioners up to date on the latest myriad of regulations and resulted in continuing education credits for attendees.

With the serious agenda items behind us it was time to relax and enjoy what Universal had to offer.  Guests enjoyed a private Universal tram tour of the studio backlot and special attractions.

We went from hot . . . . 

To wet . . . . 

To frightening . . . 

And then it was time to eat!  And not just at one fine food establishment.  We had the opportunity taste selections at four amazing and lively, mouth watering destinations.  Come and join us for our pictorial tour.

Game Show Madness!

Posted on by

 

What do you do when you want to get your employees and guests out of their seats and and really make them part of the party?  You fill the event with games and end with a bunch of prizes.  Lewis events was invited to create an event that would do just that!  Enjoy our selection of pre-event shots, because once the party started it got crazy busy and there was no time for photos.

We created a variety of minute-to-win-it style games for the perimeter of the event.  We gave each game a different theme, decorated the booths and dressed in costumes to go with each theme.  The games included cookie face, chopstick challenge, cup stacking, pirate treasure dig, and the great spoon race.  Raffle tickets were awarded for each game guests played.

Outside in the patio, along with the bar and food service, guests participated in an intense competition on the largest foosball table ever.  Guests also took advantage of the cornhole games that were spread around the outside lounge.

In the center of the party, guests enjoyed gaming on light up casino tables.  Guests stayed to the very end so they would not miss the mountain of prizes that were awarded.
