PartySlate Gathers More Than 400 Top Event Professionals in Miami to Explore, Connect, Celebrate & Grow

“Well, I must endure the presence of a few caterpillars if I wish to become acquainted with the butterflies.” — The Little Prince

On Tuesday, September 12, several hundred event tastemakers and top professionals gathered to celebrate with PartySlate at a stunning and unique book-themed soirée. Specifically, the planners at Chris Weinberg Events and the design team at Gilded Group Décor drew inspiration from the children’s classic “The Little Prince.”

Johanna Dilone of Gilded Group Décor says, “We spend so many of our days managing the pressures that come with our industry projects that we barely have time left for play and reflection. If we conceptualized and executed the individual lessons from the book properly, I was convinced that we could engage our guests in some meaningful moments, while getting inspired by basic principles that we tend to forget in our day to day.” She adds, “Lessons about growth, the value of cultivating relationships, and following your heart are what we aimed to bring to life utilizing the creativity of every vendor involved.”

The event was perfectly set at The Sacred Space Miami. Chris Weinberg of Chris Weinberg Events shares what went into choosing the unique space: “We work there and know the team, valet, security, bathroom attendants, and so on…It is a well-run venue. With [Founder and CEO] Karla Dascal’s depth and breadth of luxury event planning experience, she thoughtfully built a proper venue.” 
Dilone says of the locale, “Sacred Space served as our ideal venue because of its holistic values and alignment with the messaging we aimed to convey for this gathering. This space is renowned as a sanctuary for those seeking spiritual healing, fostering connections within the wellness community, and commemorating life’s most significant moments.”

A Glimpse of the Evening to Come

Guests were invited to PartySlate’s celebration via a luxe digital invitation, custom-designed for the gathering by Boxed Wedding Invitations. Their design drew inspiration from the classic children’s book that provided the celebration’s theme. 

Dilone shares, “I love books. And this is one of those ‘children’s books’ that teaches us much of what we need to know as adults.” The invitations were a chic black-and-white take on the book’s motifs that included exploration, connection, celebration, and growth — all of which were embodied throughout the gathering — in addition to a heaping dose of whimsy.

The Boxed Wedding team also designed all of the print materials for the evening, from acrylic signage at each catering station and bar to QR codes that acted as décor moments.

Design: A Chic Version of a Children’s Tale

“The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or touched, they are felt with the heart.” — The Little Prince

Of pulling together the epic group of vendors who produced the themed celebration, Weinberg shares, “We had detailed meetings with Johanna Dilone and her Gilded Group Décor team to understand her vision as the Creative Director…My team and I reached out to each vendor to paint the picture for the evening, and we brought in GGD for meetings to discuss…and share the brief and mood board that GGD provided as a guide. We carefully selected vendors we knew would share our vision.” 

Sam Barredo of Chris Weinberg Events says of The Little Prince-themed evening, “I cannot get over how incredible all of Gilded Group’s creativity was in the décor.” The décor included everything from an experiential entrance to a hand-built airplane that hovered over the celebration.

Guests Made an Entrance

As guests arrived, they were handed a key. But which doorway would their key open? It was for each guest to decide for themselves: transformation, connection, or growth. Dilone shares of her innovative entrance idea, “As a company, we pride ourselves in being able to construct in-house just about anything that we can imagine. What if from the time they entered, simply by choosing a door, the guests would determine what they were there to seek?” 

Barredo says, “The keys and doors! Johanna had this idea of an interactive guest entrance that included some of the networking and growth elements that we wanted to inspire. We worked with IDitAll to make this a little gift element as well, as every guest was given a keychain.”

An Airplane, Meaningful Quotes & More

Dilone loves to ask what is possible — and then make her vision into reality. In the case of our PartySlate event, she shares her thought process, which is a peek behind the creative curtain. She says, “What if we built a life-size airplane, whose wings served as a barback? A dessert lounge built around the idea of invisibility? An upside-down rose and mirrored backwards text to talk about our capabilities? The Little Prince had all of the elements we needed to showcase that we love to think differently.” 

One creative vision requires many elements. For example, in the case of the airplane that hovered over this celebration, Elite Tent provided the structure from which it hung. Their tent frame left the evening open to the starry sky while clearly defining the outdoor party space at The Sacred Space Miami.

Dilone says of the unique event’s placement at the venue, “Its thoughtful design paired perfectly with the modern, all-white aesthetic that we envisioned for the evening. The ambiance was imbued with positive energy, from the impressive display of massive crystals and lush tropical gardens to the captivating reflective pool at its heart.”

A Minimalist Challenge

Dilone shares, “And because we can’t resist a challenge, we resisted our maximalist ways and tried our best to bring each concept to life in all-white, museum-like moments, worthy of the modern venue.”

She continues, “Everyone that knows our company knows we can do very large floral centerpieces — but what happens if we forgo the need to fill tables with florals and do reflective lanterns that the guests can interact with instead? We love complicated, oversized ceiling installations — but what if ‘clouds’ are represented by simple lines of fabric propelled by fans suspended above the airplane? We’ve designed thousands of step-and-repeats — but would people appreciate that we replaced vendor logos with QR codes to make their information readily accessible?” She asks, “Doing things differently, did we still make an impact? That’s a question only our guests can answer!” 

As hosts and guests, it’s a resounding yes from the PartySlate team!

A Magical Lighting Moment

Every memorable event boasts well-considered lighting — whether it’s a candlelit dinner party or a wedding with a packed dance floor. Lighting acts as décor as well as cues guests to transitions; but in the case of this event, it also offered a bit of whimsy. 

When guests neared the dessert room, they were handed unlit electric lanterns to carry in. As they passed the threshold of the space, their lanterns magically lit themselves. Guests were instructed to place their lantern in place of the dessert they chose to enjoy. It was a communal experience that resulted in a dreamy event tableau.

Barredo says, “The lighting was extremely important, as we were able to collaborate with JACOB CO CREATIVE to create spectacular lighting experiences — from gobos built into the cocktail tables to making the lighting part of the guest experience with guests literally lighting the dessert room themselves. We also cannot forget how incredible the inside bar and DJ booth looked framed with lighting that acted as the décor for those elements.”

Lova Candles also provided plenty of glow throughout the celebration with towering hurricane lanterns that flickered dreamily in the Miami breeze.

Entertainment: Music, a Mime & a Mentalist (Oh My)

“All men have the stars but they are not the same things for different people…You–you alone–will have the stars as no one else has them” — The Little Prince

The best entertainment embodies the mood of a celebration and keeps guests engaged, and the many performers at PartySlate’s Miami event did just that. 

Barredo says, “The performers were very important as they brought many of the décor elements to life. Dilone adds, “We love to design with every medium, not just strictly décor. And (of course) we wanted the guests to have fun. To our good fortune, most of the negative traits that are highlighted in each of the characters in the book are wrapped in irony and/or humor. What better way to remind ourselves to stay humble than to have Magen Boys Entertainment bring in “The Vain Man” to shower himself with compliments as part of the bar décor? I think of him, and the Pilot, and the King, as living, breathing, talking centerpieces.” 

Additionally, Barredo says, “The Little Prince brought the photo booth to life, along with the actors at the bar, the mime at the lamp post, and we cannot forget about the fortune teller at the entrance! We and GGD worked closely with Magen Boys Entertainment to collaborate and curate all of these moments.”

Shake and Share Media captured posed and instantly-shareable images in a fun photo spot that included a giant, dreamy quarter moon set. Lots of snaps were captured of guests enjoying the interactive entertainment moments from Magen Boys and getting festive at the glam bar from Lovely Locks. And partygoers were wowed and delighted by mentalist Magic by Mio, who has performed for the likes of Barbra Streisand and Michael Jordan. 

Barredo discusses another unusual entertainment element, a robot painting a picture throughout the evening; “The robot artist was something that we saw recently at an event. We thought about how innovative this was and how amazing it would be to bring this technological element to add to the creativity element of the event. It was an amazing place to tie in the theme, as the robot painted a rose.”

Of course, having the perfect background music to network to is vital to any corporate event and a Rock With U DJ was on hand to ensure everyone was engaged. But the team knew exactly when to turn up the volume for a full-on dance party with their live band NuFusion. Furthermore, they managed to fill two dance floors — one inside in the dessert space on an epic moon-themed dance floor from PSID Group, and the other outside with live music on staging also from PSID.

Fresh Fare: Delightful Bites

“All grown-ups were once children… but only a few of them remember it.” — The Little Prince

Barredo says, “The catering was a major part of this event, as we have never worked with so many food and beverage partners.” That included five full catering teams, a dessert vendor, four liquor partners, mixologists, servers, catering rentals, and more.

She continues, “Many of the caterers took inspiration from the book when creating their menus and designing their staff uniforms to match, which made for such a uniquely curated experience.”

It would be difficult to to fully highlight the delectable dishes that each caterer prepared — complete with theming to match the celebration as well as costumes and makeup to further the immersive illusion — but below is a sampling of the delights that guests savored.

Le Basque Catering added even more whimsy to the affair with their vermouth “planet” — an edible cocktail made with a liquid vermouth jelly — and their salmon “star-tar” and rose teardrop tea, all offered by servers in folded paper hats.

Hospitality & Culinary Collective wowed tastebuds with hearty Indian dishes like Malai Kofta, Tandoori Chicken, homemade Naan, and a refreshing Raita dip. They offered their dishes with flair — think spinning plates and helpful chefs.

Constellation Culinary Group offered pedal-powered service of delicious tacos, in addition to taking inspiration from the flight theming of “The Little Prince.” They served tartine paper planes with croque madame and a mushroom flan dish they called B-612 after an asteroid featured in the book.

Joy Wallace Catering ensured that there was an offering for vegan guests with their mushroom vegan sea scallop, a vegetable-based bite that impressed guests with the flavors of lemon-infused oil, micro basil, and shallot pearls.

Thierry Isambert Culinary and Event Design transported guests with French-inspired offerings like vichyssoise shots, petit filet mignon, mini cheese boards, and mini black pavlova.

The Cup Bearer worked their always-on-point magic at the bar with mixologists who doubled as entertainment with cocktails and preparation that delighted guests. Their “butterfly margarita” and “disco fever” cocktails offered guests liquid luxury with Inspiro Tequila, while their “Persian lemonade” offered a crisp sip with E11even Vodka. House of Wine & Spirits, Bacardi, and Distinguished Vineyards & Wine Partners further kept our bar fully stocked.

Earth and Sugar ensured that all guests had a sweet ending by filling dessert tables with confections like vanilla panna cotta shooters and white chocolate cake pops.

Additional kudos goes to Tend for providing top-notch staffing and Events on the Loose for their selection of beautiful catering rentals.

All of the Memories Made (& Captured)

“And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.” — The Little Prince 

It was definitely an evening worth remembering, and we are grateful that Shauna and Jordon Photography was on hand to beautifully capture the wow-worthy soirée. The team shot gorgeous candid pictures of guests having fun as well as photos of every minimalist design detail and delectable dish. Meanwhile, Suzanne Delawar Studios captured moving images that told the story of the celebration with an engaging video that takes us right back to the night. Both will remind the hundreds of guests of their good time (and will make those who weren’t there, wish they were).

And More Thanks

As anyone who has ever planned or hosted an outdoor celebration knows: the weather can make or break a party. Luckily, the team at Ironic Reports — who predict weather for the event industry — accurately forecasted the weather for our event, so we were assured that rain wouldn’t dampen our affair.

12 Stunning Palm Beach Wedding Venues For Your Coastal Wedding

Palm Beach wedding venues are scenic spots to host your romantic ceremony and reception. From ballrooms with a view to vast green lawns, explore all that Palm Beach wedding venues have to offer.

We had the pleasure of talking to Jennifer Hardiman, Chief Event Officer and Planner at Fabuluxe Events, and Aviva Samuels, Lead Planner of Kiss the Planner, to get their insight on Palm Beach weddings.

Samuels tells us, “I have so many favorite Palm Beach venues that it’s hard to choose where to take my clients! You will find the finest quality across-the-board in Palm Beach, which makes it hard to narrow down the selection.”

Hardiman adds, “There are some of the best restaurants in the world on Palm Beach, and let’s not forget shopping. Once you are on the Island, it seems as though real life has a way of disappearing. Couples and their guests experience the best of everything, without the chaos of a big city.”

A Palm Beach wedding is not only for the locals. Hardiman explains that it is the perfect destination wedding location, saying, “The majority of our couples come from out state. And we create an entire wedding weekend experience for them and their guests. People are touring around in Mokes (a street-legal, recreational vehicle popular to the area), strolling along the vias and avenues, or enjoying the beach.”

We have rounded up 11 of our favorite Palm Beach wedding venues on PartySlate for your coastal wedding. Keep reading to find your perfect match.

Why is Palm Beach a great destination wedding spot?

Aviva Samuels of Kiss the Planner shares, “If receiving quality service is your thing, Palm Beach is for you. Palm Beach is an unrivaled destination when it comes to the finest quality and unparalleled service. In Palm Beach, quality is a lifestyle, and fine service is the standard. It’s world-renowned for its quality of life, private estates, and opulent grandeur mixed with small-town character. 

On the island of Palm Beach, you’ll experience quiet, understated luxury. Shopping on Worth Avenue, strolling through the boutique hotels, and dining at Michelin-rated eateries make Palm Beach Island the perfect destination for the refined traveler. You can soak up the sun during the day and then dance the night away. In West Palm Beach, vibrant entertainment can be found on the famous Clematis Street and Rosemary Square. For golf-enthusiasts, there are several top-notch golf courses to choose from, and if you like to be pampered, you will have come to the right place. You can choose from a multitude of luxurious spas and professional med-spas. 

American History buffs will love the Flagler Museum, Henry Flagler’s winter mansion with changing exhibitions and special programs. Visitors on any day can climb aboard Flagler’s private Railcar No. 91 which dates to 1896. Henry Flagler was the founder of what became the Florida East Coast Railway and responsible for much of Florida’s history. If you haven’t heard the news, Palm Beach is officially on the map for note-worthy weddings!”  

What is the best time of year to get married in Palm Beach?

Jennifer Hardiman, Chief Event Officer of Fabuluxe Events, says, “Some of the best things about Palm Beach are, obviously, the weather. Our wedding season is really October through May and is similar to the social season calendar. Guests can golf all year round, and water activities are abundant on the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean.”

Miami’s Top Event Professionals Gather for an Out-of-This-World Industry Celebration

On March 7, 2023, tastemakers of the Miami events industry convened at The Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science for an out-of-this-world evening full of galactic glamour. Thanks to the unmatched artistry of planner and event designer Annie Lee of Daughter of Design and PLANNIE, guests were met with exciting experiences at every turn. From the stunning décor and production to the talented performers and packed dance floor, this futuristic fête had all the makings of a truly unforgettable evening.

Upon entering the museum, guests were greeted with an LED walkway, which led them into the Aquarium. They paused for a photo op in front of a marine exhibit and a larger-than-life, custom-built PartySlate logo, courtesy of 2R Creative.

Carefully curated furnishings, supplied by Lavish Event Rentals, set the stage for this magical night. Whether guests were relaxing in the chic lounge areas or enjoying cocktails at the high-top tables, they were immersed in a contemporary design that was true to the outer space theme. 2R Creative provided jaw-dropping custom installations — including a Mylar PartySlate backdrop wall and light-up decorative globes — that drove the futuristic ambience home.

Of course, no event is complete without outstanding entertainment, and Élan Artists made sure to deliver. First, guests were greeted by performers donning extraterrestrial-inspired attire. As the night progressed, the 14-piece band — backed by a team of talented dancers — set the tone for a high-energy evening. After their impressive performance, a DJ kept everyone on the dance floor.

When attendees first arrived in the Ocean Gallery, Annie Lee took the stage to greet everyone with a few welcoming words — that is, until Event Factor’s robot invaders whisked her away. Robotic stilt performers fired up their smoke cannons to fill the dance floor before joining in on the Élan team’s choreography. 

Feeel VR’s virtual reality technology provided guests with interactive entertainment that they won’t soon forget. Every element of these incredible performances was made possible by STR-Miami’s cutting-edge a/v and technology services.

To commemorate the festivities, attendees took to a photo booth that was custom built for the occasion by 2R Creative and outfitted with 360° video equipment from MIA Photobooth. Face Time Beauty’s makeup station ensured that every guest was adorned with galactic touches — like metallic silver eyeshadow and wearable rhinestones — before posing for the perfect photo op.

Between networking, dancing, and celebrating the booming Miami events scene, attendees worked up an appetite — and Constellation Culinary Group knew just how to satisfy it. With innovative themed dishes, including floating tartare bowls and CBD-infused “bubbling” ramen, they set a new standard for gourmet catering. Guests also enjoyed passed hors d’oeuvres and a roaming caviar cart throughout the evening.

The delectable bites were accompanied by custom cocktails, courtesy of Craft Cartel- Cocktail Caterer. Smoke-infused libations and vaporized alcohol served via balloons are just two testaments to this cocktail caterer’s creativity. Each drink featured a hand-painted acrylic stir stick, provided by Acrylic Sticks, that added even further futuristic flair.

From the very first photo op to the last song of the evening, this celestial celebration was a night to remember. Guests seized the opportunity to mix, mingle, and make merry amidst the work of some of the best event professionals Miami has to offer. The connections made and relationships fostered at this glamorous, galactic gala are sure to last — making the Miami events community stronger than ever and ready to continue wowing clients for years to come.

Tica Rose Events Celebrates Industry Creatives With Summer Fete, Picnic in the Sun

Tica Rose Events (TRE) has been a pioneering force in Florida event planning since opening its doors in 2014. On September 24, 2022, TRE threw Summer Fete, Picnic in the Sun, a showstopping, Tulum-themed bash that united many of South Florida’s top vendors. From grand floral displays to curated activities and branded favors, every detail of #SummerFete2.0 was a resounding success.

We sat down with Erica “Tica” Duroseau, founder of Tica Rose Events, to learn more about the fun and fashionable occasion.

Tell us how Summer Fete came to be. What was the inspiration and overall goal, and who were the attendees?

The conversation around Summer Fete originally occurred in the summer of 2020. I noticed a lack of opportunities for industry creatives to come together to network and learn from one another. I wanted to fill that void. My thought was, “Why not create a beautifully-styled event where we can dress in theme, have great conversations, and learn from one another?”  

Who were your key partners and what were their roles in making this a successful gathering?

We were blessed to have so many amazing vendors come together to assist us with executing our vision for Summer Fete. The following partnerships were pivotal in making the event a huge success: 

  • MPE Event Group played a huge role with the full branding and production in conjunction with By Dami Studios who designed the branded elements of Summer Fete
  • Petal Productions and W&W Flowers & Events designed amazing florals which tied in perfectly with the balloon designs provided by Pretti Parties
  • L.P.R. Design Group provided the most elegant furniture that perfectly fit our theme
  • Caribbean Bites Catering prepared the mouthwatering food, which paired wonderfully with the Champagne provided by JP Chenet with Femme of Success.
  • Our guests stayed hydrated thanks to Topo Chico Mineral Water provided by Diana M. Aranda
  • DJ Luck C., DJ Bugz, and DJ Haitian Mike kept the guests dancing into the evening
  • Last and certainly not least, Lead Photographer Imagery by Jules Photography and Playback Media Wedding Videography documented every aspect of the event

We are eternally grateful for this incredible team!

What’s one moment or experience that stood out to you about Summer Fete, Picnic in the Sun?

One of the most memorable moments was the panel. It was a breath of fresh air to be able to share the stage with so many uplifting and powerful women. The transparency and education provided by the panel was priceless. Every member shared the story of their journey to success and provided some true gems of wisdom for the audience. The moment stood out because of the way it inspired attendees — just what Summer Fete was all about!

People Also Ask…

I’m planning a panel for an upcoming conference. How do I make it memorable?

Aside from the speakers themselves, there are a variety of aspects that add up to a successful panel. Creating the perfect backdrop is key, so find a rental company as well as a design & floral team that can provide furniture to fit your theme and keep your panelists comfortable. Ensure that your audience can see your panel from every seat.

Next, you want to ensure that attendees can hear your panelists’ every word, so seek out a trusted A/V company to produce the event. Once your setup is complete — both aesthetically and technically — you’re ready to host.

Can you get married on the beach in Miami?

There’s nothing like a wedding ceremony set against an ocean backdrop. While it’s hard to find an empty stretch of sandy beach these days, many luxury Miami Beach hotels come with a private beach for your stunning nuptials. Head to our curated directory to find even more venues for your luxury wedding in Miami Beach.

When is the most popular time of year for a Miami Beach wedding?

Frank Bustamante, Founder & President of Mr. B Hospitality, and Greta McNebb, Founder of Nova Events by Greta McNebb, both agree that the best time of year for a Miami Beach wedding is when the humidity is low. Bustamante recommends February to March, saying, “Little to no humidity equals perfection,” while McNebb loves January and February for the beautiful 65 to 75-degree temperatures.

How do I decide which wedding venue is right for me? 

Your wedding planner (in addition to PartySlate) is the best resource for finding the perfect venue. A wedding planner will help you narrow down your priorities and make sure that you don’t overlook any important logistical details.

McNebb of Nova Events by Greta McNebb starts by asking couples to describe their wedding vision. “Is it getting married by the beach side?” she asks. “Or in a lush tropical paradise? Spanish casa built 100 years ago or a clean and modern space with sharp edges?” She goes on to say, “Based on the answer, we go deeper into narrowing it down — and that is when we keep in mind the guest count and the budget, of course.”

Bustamante of Mr. B Hospitality also prioritizes budget. “I encourage each couple to create a budget before diving into the wedding planning process,” he says. “This will assist us in partnering with them to select the best venue for their wedding day.”

Of course, budget is only one factor of many. He continues, “In searching for your perfect venue, it is important to prioritize two items: venue type and guest count. You never want to be the bride or groom that has a venue that is too small to hold your guests (I’ve seen it happen) – it is not fun. Your guests should feel comfortable, service staff should have ample space to move around, and you should be able to dance around the room.”
