We reached out to renowned South Florida event planner Chris Weinberg of Chris Weinberg Events, a luxury wedding and event planning firm, for help navigating private dining in Miami — and finding the perfect venue space.

When selecting your Miami private dining venue, Weinberg suggests considering the time of year of your event, location and traffic patterns, and any major Miami events that could create logistical or availability challenges.

“Miami/Miami Beach plays host to a variety of national and international events such as Art Basel, South Beach Wine & Food Festival, and the Miami International Boat Show, just to name a few!” Weinberg shares. “One of the first things you should do is check the date against the South Florida events calendar (Google has links to GMCVB and other calendars) to determine how your date will be affected by availability, logistics and pricing).”  

She also reminds us: “Miami is a city of neighborhoods, each with its own unique characteristics and personality. Determining the neighborhood to host your event helps you narrow down the venue options to what is offered in that neighborhood.”

Superblue Miami Showcases Its Stunning Event Space At A Sophisticated Networking Event

Superblue, one of Miami’s most cutting-edge art museums, is paving the way not only in the world of art, but in the event space as well. Their 5,000 sq. ft. space is a contemporary canvas whose sleek design can adapt to fit any type of occasion. On June 16, 2022, the Superblue team welcomed a talented group of event industry professionals to network and experience the ultramodern new venue.

We sat down with Donald Goldberg of the Events team at Superblue Miami to find out more about this unforgettable night of networking and socializing.

1. Tell us how this event came to be. What was the inspiration and overall goal and who were the target attendees?

Our COO, Marcy Davis, wanted to find a way to showcase our event space to industry pros, and she thought a partnership with PartySlate would be a great fit. The attendees were selected with the help of Le Basque, our catering partner, and Sarah from PartySlate. We were looking to bring a group of event planners together under one roof in order to make industry connections and really show our guests what Superblue has to offer.

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

Our key partner in this event was Jim Mozina and his incredible team at Le Basque. Without his guidance, leadership, and inspiration, we would have been stuck. Jim used his expansive knowledge of the industry to select the other partners to showcase with us. His curation was the key to this event’s success. 

Event Effects and Event Outfitters, Corp. provided stunning furniture and décor rentals. Pete Diaz Productions was responsible for the customized lighting and sound design. These vendors brought the space together in a way that was elegant, modern, and totally representative of Superblue Miami. Sweet Guilt partnered with us as well to offer beautiful and unique branded desserts.

3. What’s one moment or experience that stood out to you about the Superblue Miami event?

As soon as I invited everyone into the museum on the night of the event, it was a stampede to get in there! All of the attendees were thrilled at the opportunity to connect with each other and experience Superblue from the perspective of a guest rather than a planner. It made me truly happy to see everyone’s enthusiasm for this event; it showed me just how worthwhile our efforts were.

The team who produced this sleek networking event: venue: Superblue | florals: Isa Entre Flores Flower Studio | canapé caterer & service: Le Basque | furniture rentals: Event Effects | additional rentals: Event Outfitters, Corp. | sound & lighting: Pete Diaz Productions | balloons: Chic and Savvy Occasions | dessert: Sweet Guilt | media sponsor: PartySlate | savory pancakes: Jealous Fork | coffee: Aroma Espresso | vinyl wrap on entrance door: Miami Banners | white lettering at entrance: Aquarelle Event Decorations | entertainment: DjLitus | specialty ice: Mixology Ice

Where should I start when planning a networking event?

When it comes to a networking event, selecting the perfect venue is crucial. You’ll want to find a location that is easy to navigate and large enough to allow guests to find their own space to converse. Then, since we all know that food and drink often gives people a reason to gather, secure a caterer. Consider a menu of small passed bites and curated (perhaps branded) cocktails for an event that allows guests to wander and meet each other. Or opt for a dinner party to help guests create deeper connections over the course of an evening. Don’t forget to find a rental company to help furnish your event. It’s important to outfit your venue with furniture that allows attendees to get comfortable so they can sit back, relax, and get to know each other.

What is the best month to get married outside in Miami?

In order to set the ideal date for your outdoor Miami wedding, make sure to keep variables such as weather and your venue type in mind.

From there, nailing down a venue should be your top priority since wedding dates go fast these days.

PartySlate Hosts First Post-Pandemic Event in Miami for Industry Leaders & Influencers

After more than 18 months, PartySlate hosted its first post-pandemic event on October 18 in Miami — and it did not disappoint. Leading event professionals, vendors, and venue teams from South Florida, New York, and beyond joined the PartySlate team at Rubell Museum in the trendy Wynwood Arts District. 

Guests enjoyed Instagram-worthy cocktails, creative cuisine, on-trend installations, and news and updates from PartySlate Co-Founder and CEO, Julie Roth Novack. Event industry luminaries and tastemakers were invited to the exclusive cocktail party by a chic digital invitation designed by the talented Alpine Creative Group.

After months of working with a skilled event partner team and in partnership with onsite planner, 59 & Bluebell Events, PartySlate welcomed guests to an art-inspired soirée  at the Rubell Museum — home to unique installations, myriad of event spaces that flowed in and out of doors, and lauded Leku Restaurant, who provided the cuisine.

Upon arrival, guests were warmly greeted by the PartySlate team and The Event Doc professionals, who were on hand to offer on-site Covid-19 testing. In advance of the gathering, VOW Digital Health made it easy for guests to upload their vaccination cards for a seamless check-in experience.  PartySlate continues to prioritize the ability for everyone — from our vendors to our guests — to celebrate safely. 

Once checked in, guests were ushered into the museum’s lush Garden and Courtyard to enjoy the smooth sounds of old-world Cuban and Latin music from La Vida, talented performers from Aragon Artists. Guests were also invited on a private tour of the museum, either self-guided or with a docent. 

Industry insiders enjoyed lavender vodka-lemonade welcome drinks from The Boozie Bluebell (owned by our onsite coordinator, Katie Arbogast of 59 & Bluebell Events) and passed appetizers, including beef tartar pintxos, salmon cones, and cauliflower and truffle pil pil tartlets from Leku Restaurant. Attentive servers from Le Basque ensured that guests got to sample everything and that their glasses were always full.

After cocktail hour, the doors of The East Wing opened to reveal a bold “art of expression”-inspired, disco-influenced, smoky, moody, neon celebration — a unique vision curated by St Germain Design + Co. The room thumped with danceable tunes spun by DJ Cat Shell, also from Aragon Artists, who set a party vibe with the perfect selection of current day hits and old-school throwbacks (and also looked really cool while doing it, donned in gold sequins). 

The St Germain Design + Co team outdid themselves. They conjured a celebratory mood, setting the scene for guests to interact in multiple photo spots that expressed the Miami-chic discotheque aesthetic and provided lots of stylish lounge groupings from Lavish Event Rentals, perfect for connecting with smaller groups of peers.

St. Germain Design + Co also helped line up a team of creative partners that included Just by Designs and Berkeley Florist Supply, a business-to-business company that in-the-know Miami planners rely on.

Event Factor bathed the space in a party-perfect ultra violet lighting scheme shot through with spotlights and colorful neon laser projections (which created the perfect mood lighting for the 360-photo booth, also provided by the Event Factor team). The talented team also created three conjoined stages for 80-feet of staging that almost fully spanned an entire wall of the venue. That staged was not only utilized by the DJ and for a welcome speech, but also for a rocking violin and saxophone performance that paired with pop music for a fun moment.

Just by Designs added to the theming with creative disco ball towers, cheetah-print fabric that draped the rafters, and towering V-shaped installations that provided the perfect backdrop for light and branding projections from Event Factor.

As with every corporate event, branding played an important role at the party. Guests were reminded of PartySlate when they got cocktails accented with our logo or cool branded ice cubes, grooved to the music with our brand scrolling at the foot of the DJ’s stage, and snapped pics at PartySlate backdrops. Meanwhile, we paid respect to our talented event partners on the invitation, event signage, and LED projections of affiliated company logos. 

The evening included plenty of wow moments to keep guests engaged, including the much-buzzed-about cocktails. The Boozie Bluebell, in addition to providing the evening’s wine and beer selections, also gave us one of the more photographed scenes: a portable bar featuring white subway tile, gold wine racks — and espresso martinis on tap!

Meanwhile, Craft Cartel – Cocktail Caterer gathered guests at the central bar, serving creative cocktails on all four sides by show-stopping mixologists who launched a hundred Instagram boomerangs. 

The evening’s cocktails included the much-ordered “Never Letting My Man Go” featuring E11EVEN Vodka (our Miami-based, high-end vodka sponsor for the evening), mango reduction, ginger juice, shiso bitters, and fresh lime juice — all garnished with a smoke bubble. Yes, a smoke bubble. Craft Cartel should be billed as entertainment because their engaging bartenders kept onlookers enthralled all evening serving up innovative sips in pretty Event Outfitters glassware. 

Then there was the delectable fare. Food stations scattered throughout the museum drew oohs and ahhs from guests. Lexi Kay Paperie ensured that guests knew what they were eating, with chic signage (as well as offering cool interactive opportunities to be featured on PartySlate with scannable QR code signs).

More from the mouthwatering menu from Leku: a grill station with steak and seafood, a slider station with short rib sliders and mushroom sliders (which featured steamed, melt-in-your mouth buns), plus a jamon station from Cinco Jotas. Let’s talk for a moment about the jamon (Spanish for ham). First, the chef asked guests if they had ever traveled to Spain before serving up a taste of the country in the form of incredibly thin slices of flavorful Iberian ham from Cinco Jotas alongside crisp bruschetta.

And what’s a fabulous event without equally-fabulous desserts? Déjà vu Sweets from PartySlate Insider, Natalie Thames, created a stunning (and sparkling) cake installation and PartySlate-branded treats for guests to enjoy.

As we were busy eating and toasting, Sugarfree Studio was on-hand to capture every stunning moment and interaction in beautiful images. Meanwhile Johnny Apple Films traveled from Dallas to capture the movement of the dynamic gathering, including interviews with PartySlate Co-Founder and CEO, Julie Roth Novack, and PartySlate Insider Chris Weinberg of Chris Weinberg Events.

Though the PartySlate team was sad to leave the celebration and our host hotel, the National Hotel Miami Beach, we know we’ll be back. The event signaled a return to live events (though we predict that virtual events and hybrid gatherings are here to stay as they allow for attendance from a more widespread audience). PartySlate is thrilled to interact with the resilient event community, face-to-face again, and is looking forward to many more such celebrations.

In the New Year, we are eager to entertain event professionals in New York, Chicago, Dallas, and more cities as well as continue connecting with the industry via our educational digital event series.

Where to Stay & Where to Play: A Guide to Miami Bachelorette Parties

A party in the city where the heat is on — that’s what we’re here to break down. Among numerous bachelorette weekend destinations across the US, Miami remains one of the most popular — and for good reason. 

There are many perks to hosting a Miami bachelorette party, including the endless ways you can customize an itinerary (making the weekend’s festivities unique and personal). While countless restaurant, bar, club, and hotel choices are a huge upside to heading south, it can also make planning overwhelming.

We partnered with South Florida expert and popular Miami wedding and party planner, Chris Weinberg Events, to help you pick the best experience for the bride-to-be in your life. Keep scrolling to plan the best Miami bachelorette you’ve attended yet. 

Where to Stay

Bride tribes often flock to Miami for the tropical climate, pristine beaches, and dazzling Atlantic views. With that in mind, it’s important to pick a home base where you and your crew can spend al fresco days lounging by the pool or sipping Miami Vice cocktails oceanside.

Next to consider: location, location, location. When it comes to a successful Miami bachelorette party, choosing a neighborhood is just as crucial as selecting a hotel. Opt for the buzz of South Beach, where you’ll find yourself steps away from some of the best day clubs, beaches, and bars. 

Or select a downtown-adjacent stay for easy access to the city’s boating scene, trendy restaurants, and infamous nightlife. Alternatively, you can choose a secluded Surfside spot for an escape from the city’s chaos (and a quick Uber to the best of Miami Beach). 

Depending on where you want to be, we selected some of our favorite hotels for a Miami bachelorette weekend — all with unique perks, great locations, and festive offerings.

Is Miami a good place for a bachelorette party?

We love Miami as a bachelorette party destination. It’s reliably sunny and boasts not only beautiful beaches but also a thriving, dining, club, and arts scene.

If you’re still trying to decide on the perfect bachelorette party city, also check out our bachelorette party guides for these cities: San Diego, Chicago, and New York.

What is there to do in Miami for a bachelorette party?

Because Miami is so well-located and diverse, there are tons of options for activities. Enjoy the beachy spot by hiring a boat for a day of sailing and sunning or simply spend a morning kayaking or paddle boarding. If your bride friend is an art lover, arrange for a museum, gallery, or architectural (the city is a mecca for Art Deco lovers) tour, or even paint a mural in Wynwood, Miami’s art hub.

Other options include engaging in the vibrant food scene with a day of progressive restaurant-hopping, or pair a private yoga class and a spa service for a nourishing day. Also consider more deeply exploring a specific Miami neighborhood with a walking tour in an area like Little Havana.

The key is to consider the interests and hobbies of your bride friend to ensure that this gathering not only allows her to spend time with her closest friends, but also create fun, new, meaningful memories.

PartySlate Insider Program Launches in Miami in Partnership with Natalie Thames and Chris Weinberg, Focused on Reaching New & Diverse Event Professionals

Chicago, IL (July 14, 2021) — PartySlate, a photo-rich platform that inspires people planning events and connects them with the leading event professionals, vendors, and venues across the country, announced today the launch of the PartySlate Insider Program in Miami. The program will partner with leading industry individuals who will help communicate the value of PartySlate to their wide-reaching networks, while building their own brands through additional marketing exposure. Miami is the first launch, with two more cities planned for this quarter.

To launch in Miami, PartySlate partnered with Natalie Thames of Déjà vu Sweets and Chris Weinberg of Chris Weinberg Events, two of the most influential event professionals based in the metro area. Weinberg and Thames are the inaugural members of the exclusive program.  

“We could not be more excited to launch our PartySlate Insider Program with Natalie and Chris,” said PartySlate Co-Founder and CEO, Julie Roth Novack. “They have both built up impressive networks of industry colleagues and have garnered immense respect from their peers both locally and nationally. We are confident their influence will help grow the PartySlate brand in Miami and beyond.”

Weinberg and Thames are both long-time Premium members of the PartySlate platform and leverage their PartySlate profiles to build their brands. Déjà vu Sweets and Chris Weinberg Events have a combined 89 real event albums on their profiles with more than 2,500 professional photos.

Black-Owned Wedding and Event Companies in South Florida to Hire Now

South Florida is home to many talented Black-owned wedding and event companies that can bring your dream celebration to life. To showcase the stunning work of these party vendors, PartySlate reached out to KeAira Chantell Gamble of KeAira Chantell Events and Natalie Thames of Déjà vu Sweets for help creating a list of Black event professionals in the South Florida region as a resource for party hosts and consumers.

Natalie shares how important it is “to provide a spotlight on the many talented Black event professionals across South Florida. Whether it’s a boudoir session, wedding production, or a cake to enjoy with loved ones — we have the talent, beauty, and creativity to fit your needs.”

KeAira adds, “The wedding and events industry, just like many industries, isn’t as diverse and inclusive as it should be, especially when you consider its consumers. Black people spend a lot of money and set a lot of trends in this industry. Therefore, the Black event professionals who play pivotal roles in executing these events deserve to be recognized.”

She goes on to add, “Although there have been pledges and efforts made the past year to spotlight Black talent, creating permanent spaces and lists will help prove that those weren’t just performative acts for a short period of time.”

Both KeAira Chantell Events and Déjà vu Sweets continue to elevate the work of other talented Black event professionals in the industry every day. 

“I believe the best way to elevate the work of other Black event professionals,” KeAira shares, “is by providing them with opportunities to showcase their talent. I am intentional about collaborating with Black creative partners on my events as well as referring Black event professionals for projects.”

“Truly to sum it up,” Natalie adds, “provide Black event vendors the opportunity to showcase their talent.”

13 Incredibly Versatile Bar & Bat Mitzvah Venues in Miami & Palm Beach

Miami has earned its spot as one of the world’s top tourist destinations with its miles of pristine beaches, its thriving art and fashion scenes, and its vibrant culturally-diverse neighborhoods. We love how Cuban cafés, Latin nightclubs, and five-star resorts intermingle in a scene that feels very alive and full of discovery. It’s a great city to be in at any age — and an especially poignant locale for a milestone celebration like the coming of age that is the Bar or Bat Mitzvah.

In addition to the very meaningful religious service, families often commemorate the occasion with a bash in their child’s honor. Full of themed décor, fun personal branding, photo ops, creative cuisine for kids and adults, and of course, dance-floor filling music, Bar and Bat Mitzvah celebrations have become some of our favorite parties. Choosing a venue that will allow you to honor all that is unique about your child just got easier. We scoured PartySlate for Bar and Bat Mitzvah venues in Miami and Palm Beach to bring you our selection of the top spots — whether you’re looking for luxurious elegance, views aplenty, a garden or roof spot, or a unique locale, we’ve got it on our list.

Non-Profit’s Night Out Celebrates & Connects South Florida’s Thriving Non Profit Community

The Non Profits Night Out (NPNO), now in its third year, is expanding its reach. The annual gathering of nonprofit event professionals and fundraising strategists that meets yearly in New York City, has now added a Miami event to connect those operating in the thriving Miami charity scene with one another. The premise of NPNO is threefold: to recognize and honor the work that nonprofits do; to raise money for a local cause; and to offer a networking opportunity and night out for the local special event community. 

The annual event is the brainchild of Reed Baker, founder of Sophist LLC and creator of Text-to-Pledge®, and Steve Paster, owner of bespoke stationer, Alpine Creative Group. They conceived the event with a core value that there be no fee to attend — for event professionals or for nonprofit community members. The event stands out as the only no-cost industry gathering — a perfect fit with the altruistic sector it serves. That means, from the venue to the food, drinks, décor, and entertainment, everyone involved is donating their goods and services. This model serves the dual purpose of allowing the event community to give back as well as offering the opportunity for the professionals to exhibit the quality of their work to fundraising strategists.

The event team is continually tweaking its formula each year to offer more elaborate celebrations that reach greater numbers of guests — and has added a local fundraising component. This year is the first year that the lauded event has been held in Miami, and it drew 175 guests to network and celebrate. The city threw its support behind the event, with participation and guidance from the Miami Beach Chamber of Commerce and the Miami Beach Restaurant & Hotel Association. 

Everyone from prominent South Florida event planners and premier venue representatives to New York event luminaries like Claudia Warner from Gourmet Advisory Services and Arthur Backal of Backal Hospitality Group (whose NYC venue, CNVS Events, played host for the January 2019 NPNO), attended Miami’s first Non Profits Night Out with the aim of inspiring successful charity event planning in the new year.

The group gathered at W South Beach for a lovely evening planned by Carrie Zack Events, with design and décor by J GROUP EVENTS. The vision for the event was a beach party — held poolside. Guests appreciated not only the well-thought-out details like palm-laden floral and chic tropical lounge areas, with rentals and furniture from Nuage Designs, but also that the beachy theme allowed for more casual and comfortable attire (a perk at the end of a long workday).

Partygoers registered at the event via Checkin Tech’s seamless on-site service, before enjoying curated bites catered by the W South Beach’s skilled catering team and dessert from DOUGHEES BY M.DOUGH.W. Ipad centerpieces from Keep Interacting donned tabletops for an interactive décor element and PSAV provided their usual high level of service, producing the technical aspects of the event. Meanwhile, music and entertainment from the ever-popular Élan Artists kept everyone entertained, and Suzanne Delawar Studios beautifully captured smiling attendees, as well as the décor elements that transformed the space.

As mentioned, this is the first NPNO to highlight a fundraising component. Specifically, the team wanted to raise money for a local nonprofit, and this year chose Safe Schools for Alex, an organization dedicated to protecting schools and teachers through spearheading and nationwide school safety commission. The evening’s speaker and Safe Schools founder, Max Schachter, lost his son Alex in the Parkland shooting. He spoke movingly about his experience and the room was rapt; the resulting donations made via Text-to-Pledge® totaled almost $5,000 to support the charity. NPNO organizers have decided to add a local charity component to all future gatherings.

Speaking of the future, New York’s annual NPNO will again be in January in New York at New-York Historical Society, with the date to be announced. Meanwhile, the South Florida event was so successful that a new NPNO event is being planned for September 2020, with the planner and venue having already been secured — long-revered planner Jeff Fowler will produce the event at the Norton Museum of Art in Palm Beach. Additional future plans include curated events at several Constellation Culinary Group venues in both New York and South Florida.
