Weddings
Tyler & Driana
Mone'e Moments' dazzling debut Tyler & Driana's wedding at the Westin Northwest Chicago was a masterclass in adaptability and style. When Mother Nature crashed the party, we pivoted with panache, transforming an outdoor ceremony into a tent extravaganza! Picture this: 150 guests swept into a royal wonderland of blue, white, and gold, with lush greenery adding that perfect pop. From champagne greetings to late-night nibbles, every moment sparkled. The result? A celebration so magical, guests are still buzzing about it!

Atlas: Head Sponsor at HR Tech Conference in London
During her tenure at Atlas, our CEO orchestrated an event that turned heads and opened hearts at the HR Technologies Conference in London. Imagine a 20x30 booth that wasn't just a space, but a journey! From the first sip of artisanal coffee to the last bite of a custom crepe, every detail sang "innovation." A charging garden for tech-lovers, a photo wall for the 'gram - it was a playground for the professionally curious. The result? The most visited booth at the conference, proving that in the world of HR tech, Atlas wasn't just on the map - it was the map!

DailyPay: Client & Prospect Dinner at Jack Rose in New Orleans
While leading events at DailyPay, our CEO whipped up a networking soirée at New Orleans' Jack Rose that was hotter than a Louisiana summer - and she did it in just one week! Picture this: guests sipping pre-dinner cocktails, their conversations punctuated by the smooth sounds of live jazz. As the night unfolded, an open bar and whisky tasting set the stage for a three-course culinary adventure. The cherry on top? Deals were closed faster than you can say "beignet." Talk about laissez les bon temps rouler!

DailyPay: Booth & Casino Night at Restaurant Franchising & Innovation
During her DailyPay days, our CEO transformed a compact 10x10 space into a high-tech wonderland that had everyone buzzing. This wasn't just any booth - it was a cutting-edge hotspot that attracted attention like bees to honey! But here's the secret sauce: we wanted to highlight DailyPay's all-star customer lineup in the food biz. Picture this: McDonald's breakfast rubbing shoulders with Jimmy John's sandwiches, Panera's desserts flirting with Taco Bell's Tuesday specials - a foodie's dream team assembled to show off DailyPay's partnerships with the biggest players in the restaurant world. And just when folks thought it couldn't get better, we rolled out a casino night that had everyone talking. DailyPay-branded everything, an open bar, games galore, and a silent auction that was anything but quiet. It wasn't just an event; it was the main course of the conference, served with a side of innovation!

DailyPay: SHRM Conference Booth & Sessions
At SHRM in the Big Easy, our CEO (then with DailyPay) conjured up a 20x30 booth that was more than just a space - it was a 2.5-day New Orleans-style party that 2000 people couldn't resist! We brought the spirit of NOLA right into the conference hall. Think Hurricanes and Beignets that would make any local proud, Bubbly and Sprinkly Cupcakes for a touch of sweet celebration, King Cakes fit for royalty, and a Rose Bar that would make even Bourbon Street jealous. Add in a caricaturist turning attendees into works of art (because why not?), and you've got a recipe for success that was pure Louisiana magic. But wait, there's more! Engaging sessions packed with 200+ eager minds, swag that made people swoon (JBL speakers, anyone?), and a presence so magnetic, it was like DailyPay had its own gravitational pull in the French Quarter!
Corporate
BenchPrep: Virtual Prospect Wine Tasting
When the world went virtual, our CEO (then at BenchPrep) turned lemons into wine! Partnering with Zo Wines in Sonoma Valley, she crafted a virtual tasting that transported locked-down clients straight to vineyard bliss. Imagine unboxing a slice of Sonoma: six tantalizingly curated wines, paired with goodies that made screens disappear and vineyards come alive. It wasn't just a tasting; it was a grape escape that turned Zoom fatigue into Zinfandel fun. The result? Cork-popping success with new leads flowing like fine wine!
Corporate
DailyPay: ADP Meetings of the Mind Conference + After Dark Event
During her DailyPay chapter, our CEO turned the ADP Meetings of the Mind Conference into a blockbuster hit! Picture a booth so enticing, with smoothies so fresh and Sprinkles cupcakes so divine, that resistance was futile. But the real showstopper? The After Dark Rooftop Party. Despite last-minute venue hiccups (because what's an event without a little drama?), it was pure magic. A DJ dropping beats, a magician dropping jaws, life-sized games for the young at heart, and a buffet that made midnight snacking an art form. Top it off with a 360 Photo Booth capturing all the glamour, an open bar pouring liquid happiness, and Disney fireworks painting the sky - it was a networking nirvana that had everyone saying, "Best. Conference. Ever."

BenchPrep: Virtual Holiday Cooking Class with Chopped Champion
For her grand finale at BenchPrep, our CEO dished up a virtual holiday event that was equal parts festive feast and master class. Teaming up with Chopped Champion Eliza Martin, she served a perfect recipe of entertainment and opportunity. Participants unwrapped a mystery box of ingredients, then dove into a whirlwind of breakout games, cooking demos, and musical interludes. The piece de resistance? Dining on their own creations while closing deals. It wasn't just a cooking class; it was a blueprint for how virtual events could be both delicious and productive. Now that's what we call having your cake and eating it too!
