We love anniversary celebrations — and the Bay State Milling Company 125th Anniversary party was no exception. We enjoyed working with them on their event this past spring. As always, it's the incredible businesses and creative partners on the team that make it happen! Events ALWAYS take a village!

We created a custom timeline highlighting the past 125 years, as well as displayed old packaging and articles. The highlight was a video where their customers wished them a Happy Anniversary. A 5th generation company, they are well positioned to continue another 125 years. It was an honor to work with them!

Cheers!

Our events range from 34 to 1800+ guests.
What kind of event do you want to have? What's your vision? Let us know and we will be there from beginning to the end: planning, designing, coordinating and on-site production. No event is too small or large. We believe all events are important and should be a memorable experience for your guests.

This intimate sit down, five-course, wine paired dinner was a huge success — from the music of Mike James Music jazz trio as guests entered to the tall "40" custom sea food filled ice sculpture from Krystal Kleer Ice Sculptures, LLC followed by an amazing dinner catered by The Waterfront Restaurant and Tavern. Dessert was an elegant cake with hand-make sugar flowers designed by Meringue Bakery. The chef introduced each course and walked through the wine pairing. What a great way to kick off your 40th year!

Happy Birthday, Michelle. We were honored to be part of your birthday celebration.

70s themed Christmas party? No problem. This was so much fun to design and produce for our client's annual employee Christmas party. Nothing beats a themed party.

Ugly sweaters, afros, fringe, floral dresses, bell bottoms, tie dye—you name it — the employees wore it!

From a 70s living room decked out for Christmas, to cookies and dinner grandma would've made — guests also enjoyed the night shooting pool, playing foosball and pingpong. And to go the extra mile, raffle prizes were gift-wrapped and placed on stage to be handed out to the winners. The night ended with dancing and singing along with the Dweebs. This was truly a night to remember.

Thank you to the amazing creative partners.
