We kicked off 2020 and the new decade with an immersive experiential event where guests were invited to “Put It In The Universe & Set Their Intentions For The Next Decade.” Our co-hosts at the event were BML-Blackbird, the founder and creative director at Chandelier Events, and Amy Shey Jacobs.
If you want something, you have to put it out into the universe and it will, just like stating it, help clear a path and attract people that will help you achieve it.
Collaboration & Partnership: What we put out, we attract & ways to set yourself up for success—share your intention with a friend. Sharing what you want with someone else will keep you focused, encourage you to become extra clear on your ambitions, and hold you accountable to your goals. We are so thankful for the incredible vendors who shared their time and services to make this event so incredibly special. We have credited our vendors below with links to their websites. Check them out and use them for your next event!
In a glam-meets-otherworldly environment, the experience unfolded as such:
Guests received a digital invite designed by Suite Paperie featuring the details for the evening.
Upon arrival, guests checked in with the team from Check In Tech and Sheehan & Sons Security, and snapped photos at the step and repeat designed by Suite Paperie and Bombshell Graphics.
The Be Time Meditation Bus offered pop-up meditations for guests throughout the night.
On the main floor, guests were greeted by a stunning greenery and light installation by By Yena Designs. BML Blackbird set the space over the communal area, which became a dance floor. Live music was provided by The Eleven Band.
