Rob & Masha were married amongst the Redwoods in a beautiful Northern California town. This spectacular event was a 3-day "Forest Fancy" themed wedding weekend, which included fire dancers, aerialists, flashmobs & an exquisite 'Oysters in the Garden' reception with live music. The food was delicious and the smiles were endless.

🌸 In honor of Mother's Day (which is Sunday btw!) we're showcasing these gorgeous edible flower spring rolls.
💐Using edible flowers can be traced back to Roman times and to the Chinese, Middle Eastern, and Indian cultures. For all of their history, edible flowers have been a bright spot on the culinary landscape and add a unique touch to any event.
🌺Check out to see where you can find some of these delicious creations.
🤓 Venue Scouting 101
We just returned from Sedona, Arizona where we did a site visit for an upcoming 3-day destination wedding.
Here are some questions to keep in mind when you're looking at venues for your next event.
📅 Date - Is the date available? Does the venue offer an off-season price? Sometimes you can find a killer discount if your dates are flexible.
🎪 Infrastructure - Does the venue need a lot of additional infrastructure to create activity, ceremony, and dining spaces?
💰️ Cost - Is everything included in the venue fee? Hidden costs can include staff, trash/recycling, and bathroom rentals.
🌎️ Location - Is the location convenient to get to? Also, think about setup, parking, meals, and if elder guests can handle the terrain.
🧑🏻🤝🧑🏻 Capacity - Does the capacity align with the guest list?
🏘️ Accommodations - If it’s a multi-day event is there on-site housing? Are there hotels or b&bs nearby? Pro Tip: If you can rent out on-site housing to guests it can be a great way to help cover venue costs.
🌸 Decor - How much additional decor does the venue need? Some venues are so gorgeous they don’t need much which can save time and money.
🍲 Food & Bev - Does the venue have an accessible kitchen and kitchen equipment?
🚘️ Parking - Will we need a parking team or shuttle service?
🚽 Bathrooms - Does the venue have enough bathrooms or do they recommend additional rentals?
🍷 Vendors - Ask for a list of vendors the venue has worked with in the past. Pro Tip: sometimes the venue requires you to use the vendors of their choice. This is not necessarily a big hurdle but can change the planning approach and cost.
📸 Lastly, we always make sure to take tons of photos and videos. We reference these many times throughout the planning process.
Good Luck out there! Let us know if you need some support!
WE 💜 FESTIVAL OPERATIONS
✨We’re still basking in the afterglow of the Envision Festival where we once again spent 4 weeks in the jungle working this extraordinary event.
🌿 This year as part of a leadership training we had the pleasure of working with the Earth Pulse Academy to create a story plot about the work we do for the Envision Festival. Check it out!
Large festivals sometimes have a hard time developing and executing cohesive operational plans. Without the right plan in place to catch the details, preplanning is ineffective and messy, and the operations during the festival are chaotic and stressful. If we don’t have our stuff together, the guests, as well as the staff, feel like they are not a priority and aren't being well taken care of.
We develop and fine-tune the documentation for on-site businesses, empower the biz-ops managers and uphold team morale. We bridge communication between managers and directors. By bringing clarity and systemization to overall business operations, the planning goes smoothly, the teams work effectively, and the attendees and staff feel really well taken care of.
What’s your favorite festival to attend these days?
MoonDrop Events offering up creative and delicious event menu ideas every Wednesday!
We often suggest menu ideas for the omnivorous diet but today, a little love for our VEGANS!
YES, you can definitely serve a meal at your event that reflects your ethical beliefs! A fully vegan menu could be a golden culinary opportunity to share your values with your community as well as show them how incredibly delicious vegan food can be!
No matter the reason people choose to become vegan, for the ethical commitment, dietary benefits, or ANY reason at all we will always support the choice and work hard to source the best vegan vendors out there!
Here’s one of favorite vegan event menus EVER!
APPETIZER - Hot and Creamy Vegan Artichoke Dip - What a crowd-pleaser! It’s baked until rich, creamy and is totally irresistible slathered on crackers, chips or fresh baked bread.
THE MAIN - Homande Vegan Linguine with shiitake mushroom wine sauce, and pepper. This dish is classy, full of flavor, and a perfect way to satisfy your guests.
AND FINALLY
Dessert - Please promise us you'll try The Strawberry Streusel Vegan Donut from a vegan, gluten & soy fee, 90’s feminist riot grrrl band inspired bakery located in Austin Texas. These doughnuts are to die for and would kill at your next event!
🎟️Festival Box Office Bliss
Festival Entry / Box Office are often the first impression guests get when they arrive at an event. A seamless, safe and streamlined entry can be the difference between a good first impression and a negative one.
A good first impression leads to trust in the event organizers and ultimately happy guests. Their positive vibration from the experience will likely ripple into the event as a whole.
This can sometimes be a challenging goal especially with a unique venue entrance, intricate ticketing, large population and multiple credentials.
MoonDrop Events specializes in building exceptional box office teams, layouts and operational plans for events of all sizes. We also have loads of experience working with multiple ticketing platforms to make your event entrance smooth sailing.
Clients we have managed the Box Office include:
“WE GOT YOU” WEDNESDAYS!

Today, GRAZING TABLES! One of our newest obsessions.
Grazing tables are not only an artist display but they can be customized to fit any occasion or dietary preference, making it a versatile and popular choice for gatherings of all kinds.
Last weekend we had the pleasure of working with at one of our events. Not only were they lovely to work with but their grazing table was spectacular! We highly recommend checking them out for your next ATX event.
Happy MoonDrop Monday!
Ever thought about getting married at a Music Festival? can make it happen!
Natalie & Travis Dizzasster's pink & unique wedding was produced in the heart of . It was a magical (and bumpin') island of love.
We worked with the festival producers to secure a private and beautiful ceremony spot and as well as prime on-site real estate for a gorgeous dinner & wild reception. After the reception, the guests headed back into the festival for a spectacular lineup and more festi-bestie adventures.

Your guests will feel like they're at an authentic fish market with this oyster counter-inspired raw bar. To accomplish this look, top your display with a wooden plank; use the surface to offer cocktail, hot sauce, and oyster crackers, too.
Upon our research for a client recently, we stumbled across - East coast oysters served in Austin, TX! Check out their awesome pop-ups all over town.
We absolutely ❤️ working with for their Annual Halloween Boat Party - one of the best parties in SF.

When worlds collide!
🍨"I scream. You scream. We all scream for ice cream."
Looking for non-traditional and unique event menu ideas?! WE GOT YOU! Offering up creative event provisions every Wednesday.
Our newest event obsessions are ice cream trucks and sundae bars!
A sundae bar guarantees there will be something for everyone. Opt for the traditional toppings like candies and cookie crumbs, but if you really want to impress, set out a few unexpected options like candied bacon, nut brittle or champagne-soaked strawberries.
Our favorite things about an ice cream truck:
1. Ice Cream is especially nostalgic when served out of a truck.
2. It creates fantastic photo ops.
3. It can offer loads of options and flavors.
4. It adds an interactive element to the party.
Please comment with your favorite flavor!

✨ An Oceanside Celebration-of-Life Casting Ceremony 🤍
This beautiful ceremonial event combined an Honor Guard detail, Nordic-Celtic roots, poetry, music and sacred ritual. It was a powerful and moving event.
At we recognize how important memorials and celebration-of-life events are. Unfortunately, the death industry often pressures people to organize a traditional or formal service right after someone passes. You and your family do not necessarily need to do this especially if it doesn't feel right for you. The event can happen whenever and however it aligns for the person transitioning and their family.
We support our client's visions and timelines no matter how traditional, or non-traditional they are. We also know and respect how difficult this time can be for them. We are here to listen, support, and build an intentional event together.
