Event Type: Celebrations

Livingston, NJ

The gold and glitzy Crystal Plaza was the perfect place for this surprise 50th anniversary party. We absolutely love the ornate dance floor design, which mirrored a hovering balloon installation. Spiraled black, gold, and metallic balloons sparkled amongst the gorgeous chandeliers of this New Jersey ballroom.

Los Angeles, CA

This Great Gatsby-themed milestone birthday, planned by Event Du Jour, beckons guests to their seats with feathery centerpieces. Mirrored tabletops reflect opulent gold place settings and glimmering candlelight. We also adore how the Gatsby motif continued with feathery signage that doubled as the perfect photo op.

New York, NY

This 10th anniversary party, planned by Elegant Occasions by JoAnn Gregoli, wowed its guests from the moment they pulled up to an Excalibur automobile parked in the driveway. We adore the totally on-theme details by Ed Libby & Company, such as the martini-inspired centerpieces overflowing with pearled bubbles, and these oh-so-Gatsby place cards which incorporated the decade’s iconic font and art deco framing.

New York, NY

Cerbelli Creative planned a breathtaking Gatsby-inspired corporate event that was sure to leave a lasting impression on its attendees. Guests got to live the life of Jay Gatsby for the night, posing for photos from within a monogrammed vintage car parked in the New York City ballroom.

Ponoma, CA

This corporate event planned gave a nod to Jay Gatsby with its incredible designs. From the lounge areas to the ceiling décor to the illuminated bar, rentals by Blueprint Studios are what tied the entire event at The Glasshouse together. These luxe tufted gold chairs are reminiscent of the lounge areas at the awe-inspiring West Egg parties.

Los Angeles, CA

This WIPA SoCal Design Challenge transformed City Market Social House into a glamorous prohibition-era party. Crystal chandeliers dominated the chic industrial space along with yellow and white florals draped with greenery. Richly-hued velvet chaises from Premiere Party Rents infused additional drama cozied up to tablescapes embellished with mirrors and glass votives. Vox Productions perfectly lit model statues adorned in period-perfect ivory gowns.

Chicago, IL

There is no doubt guests busted out the Charleston on this opulent art deco-inspired dance floor at this 50th birthday party. Rendezvous Music performed singalong classics from this stunning stage boasting a luxe black and gold backdrop. Surrounding the room was mirrored furniture by Bowery & Bash with pops of velvet emerald, which perfectly complemented Kehoe Designs’ palm-inspired florals.

Miami, FL

Fantasy Designers made this quinceañera party one to remember with luxe staging — complete with Art Deco designs and feathery décor. We love how guests entered this Gatsby-themed celebration via a red carpet. From there, guests enjoyed stunning decorations at every turn. 

New York, NY

This New York City birthday party at CNVS Events immediately caught our eye: the iconic Gatsby quote “I like large parties, they’re so intimate” was projected across the raw space’s walls. The theme came to life more and more in every photo, including this shot of Gatsby’s iconic — and controversial — yellow vintage ride.

Los Angeles, CA

Gold balloon ceiling décor by Balloon and Paper elevated the look of this milestone birthday. Make sure to discover other opulent details such as the one-of-a-king bar installation with gold fronds and suspended crystal tear drops. We also love the balloon photo op that evoked Daisy Buchanan’s strings of pearls.

Beverly Hills, CA

This Great Gatsby-themed Bat Mitzvah party wowed with pink lighting projections and golden candlelight by The Lighter Side. Event planner After Eight Event Planning and Designs amplified the look with lush pink florals and shimmering gold fringe. 

Chicago, IL

Give us all the midnight blue accents! This champagne-pouring entertainment was suspended from beautiful blue draping by Art of Imagination. Jayne Weddings planned this roaring 20s party for the launch of Room 1520’s sister venue, The Justine. Luxe velvet furniture and mirrored details filled the space as fortunes were told and fire was breathed by the engaging entertainment.

Los Angeles, CA

This Los Angeles corporate event, planned by Revel Global Events, was all gold everything —  therefore perfectly fit for a Great Gatsby party, from the gold washed walls to the overflowing champagne towers. Also on theme was the glittering crystal chandeliers from which acrobats hung. This duo performance wowed as they swung across the towering ceilings donning gold sequined leotards.

Chicago, IL

We’re placing our bets on this Great Gatsby party planned by 1440 Event Design. The Palmer House Hilton played host to this 1920s gala, where guests were dressed to the nines in prohibition-era apparel. Casino tables and roulette wheels by Chicago Casino Suppliers filled the space where gala goers gambled and sipped on cocktails. We love how an on-theme, interactive activity breaks the ice and keeps guests entertained all night.

New York, NY

Leave it to the team at Colin Cowie Lifestyle to throw one of the most beautiful Great Gatsby parties we have ever seen. This New York gala kicked off with a 1920s-inspired flapper swinging from a feathered crystal chandelier. The cuisine and cocktails also lived up to Gatsby’s expectations with an impressive iced seafood display and — you bet — an absinthe bar.

New York, NY

Leslie Mastin Events planned this dual birthday party at a private residence on Long Island — quite fitting for a Great Gatsby party. Guests were greeted with a glass of champagne from this impressive tower as they entered the golden affair, designed by TINSEL Experiential Design. Guests enjoyed bathtub gin jazz as they nibbled on bites from Creative Edge Parties and sipped on-theme cocktails like “The Jordan Jive”.

Houston, TX

Wolfgang Puck Catering – Houston hosted and catered a Great Gatsby-inspired launch party at The Corinthian, and the cuisine and cocktails were simply divine. Baked apple old fashioneds —  complete with branded ice balls — were served by costumed flappers.

Boston, MA

Guests fit right in at this Roaring Twenties-themed gala with sequined flapper costumes and stylish top hats. Event designer Tasha Bracken Events created a fully-immersive evening of charity and glamour with a live jazz band and “black and gold” silent auction. Some of our favorite details from this extraordinary night include feather-filled martini glasses, Art Deco backdrops, and a custom-designed dance floor.

Miami Beach, FL

We couldn’t believe our eyes when this Miami wedding at THE TEMPLE HOUSE was uploaded to PartySlate. PS Photography and Films beautifully captured the extraordinary projection mapping by United Projection that illuminated the all-white space. Eleven different art deco designs covered the walls and transported guests to a West Egg-worthy celebration.

Nashville, TN

We love how this wedding began with an elegant ceremony at The Bell Tower, a historic church dating back to the 19th century. Fête Nashville Luxury Weddings wowed Great Gatsby-style details that ranged from a Champagne wall to an Art Deco dance floor. Beautiful draping by Quest Events and elegant linen by BBJ La Tavola made sure every detail of this celebration was stunning and on theme.

Miami, Fl

This Gatsby-glam birthday party, planned by KeAira Chantell Events, featured luxe desserts by Déjà vu Sweets. These stunning sweets, made to look like jewels, are almost too beautiful to eat. Other picture-perfect details from this glamorous soirée included custom backdrops with painted gold flappers.

New York, NY

We think an event at the opulent Rainbow Room is the closest thing you can get to a perfect Great Gatsby party — and planner Amy Katz Events agrees. Katz filled the space with lively entertainment including a jazz band, cancan dancers, and corseted showgirls. This incredible four-tiered cake by Chic Sugars was also ever-so impressive in its intricate art deco detailing — and mouth-watering flavor.

Palo Alto, CA

Roller disco and a silent disco were merged together to create one unforgettable event experience. With a retro arcade, a throwback roller rink, and an entrance lined with 1970s music legends, this party would make moguls from Diana Ross to the Bee Gees proud.

Las Vegas, NV

It only makes sense that a disco ball this grand belongs to a Las Vegas New Year’s Eve event. With a sequin-filled club and hair so big you know it’s from the 70s, this party welcomed 2020 right.

New Orleans, LA

Remind us to look at this design next time we’re seeking seating chart ideas. Who wouldn’t want to find their table with a turntable place card display? “Groovy glamor” was the design inspiration, to which we say, a job well done.

Washington, D.C.

Who said disco is dead? Even our little ones can appreciate a good disco ball — or in this case, a disco ball-inspired party cup. We love how this at-home kids birthday party put a French twist on our favorite decade.

New York, NY

With shimmering disco ball escort cards and metallic footwear provided at the door, guests were led into this Bat Mitzvah party with a pleasant experience in mind.

The promise of comfortable feet meant there was no hesitation when it came to letting loose on the disco ball-topped dance floor — and we can’t help but dream of the day we’ll be groovin’ to our favorite tunes again.

New York, NY

The queen of disco deserves nothing but the best party the theme has ever seen. The opening for The Cher Show on Broadway was filled with mylar fringe, tassels, mirrorballs, and the most iconic palette to support the era’s superstar.

Dolores, CO

Nothing embodies the 70s like a psychedelic event design. Silver streamer-covered walls paired with moody red uplighting and an on-theme DJ booth created one of the most enticing 50th birthday parties we’ve seen.

Port Jervis, NY

The addition of disco balls to an array of sophisticated chandeliers was exactly the party element this rustic-chic wedding needed. With spherical reflections jumping across the dance floor, no guest could resist getting up to boogie.

Chicago, IL

Are you digging this theme as much as we are? We’re obsessed with the combination of disco and dim sum at this corporate dinner party — not to mention the incorporation of sparkling sequin table linens, the niftiest menus, and kaleidoscopic wall prints.

New York, NY

Droga5 turned disco into an on-brand disc5 for their annual company holiday event. We love their unique take on the popular party theme, with disco balls arranged into throw pillows, the addition of gold disco balls above the dance floor, and the eclectic furniture placed throughout the party.

Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo

If disco went on a tropical vacation, we imagine it would look like this. Pampas grass — one of our favorite wedding trends — came together with leafy palms to top the party’s center disco ball in a way we never would have thought of — and now can’t live without.

New York, NY

One dance floor disco ball may be enough for some, but certainly not for this Bar Mitzvah boy. We’re in awe of the way the light reflecting spheres remind us of both a starry night and the infamous party era.

Chicago, IL

A modern reception gave way to an exclusive, “disco inferno” wedding after party — and we’re obsessed with every detail. The monochromatic palette, cluster of mirrored balls reflecting onto the dance floor, and retro-inspired lounge areas, ensured every guest was ready to keep the party going into the morning.

Palm Beach Gardens, FL

By now you know the drill: disco balls hovering over dance floors, sparkling silvers reflecting off of every corner, and the best music the 1970s had to offer filling the room.

But what you don’t know is that every groovy get together is different — including this Studio 54-inspired birthday. A living sushi display — yes, you read that right — sparkling floral centerpieces, and even on-theme bathroom décor, made this bash truly epic.

Dallas, TX

We love how every inch of this birthday party was covered in groovy elements — including the guest book corner. Illusional wall coverings and mystifying lava lamp décor proved to be the ultimate throwback elements at this foxy fête.

New York, NY

Michael Kors teamed up with Interview Magazine to transform a fashion-forward NYC event into a Studio 54 flashback. We never thought we’d love something more than a disco ball-covered ceiling — branded, disco ball furniture convinced us otherwise.

Boston, MA

This milestone birthday party was as epic as it looks. To guests’ surprise, they were led to a private hotel suite-turned event space, where an intimate dinner turned into the ultimate dance party.

Foil fringe-covered walls, disco ball-inspired menus, and classic 1970s sweets from Twinkies to Ding Dongs made this a night they won’t soon forget.

Anaheim, CA

Friday night and the lights are certainly not low. This colorful 65th birthday bash has us mesmerized from floor to glistening ceiling. Put marquee “disco” signage and a silver candy bar on our next birthday wish list.

Joshua Tree, CA

Desert and disco is the combination we never knew we needed. This groovy — and intimate — bachelorette party proves open air soirées with your closest friends can be just as incredible.

New York, NY

We just discovered tie dye florals — and we’re never going back. It’s only fitting that a 70th birthday was celebrated with the most incredible 70s décor, from a disco ball photo wall to a light up dance floor, unforgettable outfits, and costume props served to guests on silver platters. Talk about good vibes.

New York, NY

We’re all about adding a funky element to your wedding lounge — and this couple executed it perfectly. From the mesmerizing disco ball furniture to the complete color transformations that awaited in each room, we couldn’t have imagined a cooler wedding than this one.

Irvine, CA

A cotton candy fun room was far from the only creative set up at this corporate holiday party. That’s right: an actual “caro-soul” took guests on a ride around the party as they listened to 70s hits and danced the night away.

New Orleans, LA

What’s a better party trick than a customized cocktail? The photos from this birthday alone are transporting us 50 years backward — and we want nothing more. Put disco ball cake pops and neon party vests on our list of must-have party elements.

Las Vegas, NV

Vegas and disco go together like brides and bouquets. We’re obsessed with how this fun-loving bride and groom made their intimate Sin City nuptials completely their own — from their radiant, 70s-inspired outfits to their unique desert décor.

Dallas, TX

Suddenly, we want to take a disco dip. This party was ahead of it’s time — we’re talking pre Kylie Skin launch — with glistening, interactive bathroom décor for photos to remember the night with — as if guests could ever forget it.

New York, NY

Everyone will turn into a dancing queen at a celebration like this. Pampas grass and marquee signage met illuminating disco décor to create the most glamourous, Studio 54-chic party New York City has seen since 1978.

Charleston, SC

We’re not sure if disco had ever seen daylight before, but it turns out it looks just as glam under the sun. The disco-inspired park party was the perfect combination of carnival-chic and 70s glam.

New York, NY

What’s not to love about a product launch with a Studio 54 spin? Flashy photo ops made of metallic tinsel and disco balls (what else?) were too good not to pose in front of as guests enjoyed their time above the New York City skyline.

The party somehow merges futuristic vibes with retro glam, and we’re absolutely here for it.

Boston, MA

There’s a lot to love about the 70s — and big hair is most certainly one of them. Studio 54 wouldn’t feel right without luscious locks towering the dance floor.

So we had to pay our respects to this 70s-inspired anniversary, which had guests rocking their grooviest tie-dye and even better bell bottoms (you know, the ones that make our modern flare jeans look skinny).

The rooftop event’s mobile catering station is just one of the elements we’d love at our next outdoor event.

Culver City, CA

It’s one thing to throw a party after your favorite musical genre; it’s another to theme a party around your favorite headphones. The celebrity-owned Beats by Dre brand inspired Gavin’s entire Bar Mitzvah party — with his own twist, of course.

“Beats by G” was born for the night with a custom logo, a line of merch for party guests (we’re eyeing the cozy matching sweatsuit), and a series of catering stations (you’d find us at “G’s Sushi”).

Mill Run, PA

Click your heels – and clink your glasses. There’s nothing quite as whimsical as a Wizard of Oz-themed rehearsal dinner, especially one with its own yellow brick road. 

The couple’s planner, GoBella Design & Planning, shared details about the grooms’ Oz-inspired outfits, which were “filled with personal touches, like embroidery of the couples’ dog (instead of Toto) and the Tin Man’s clock heart set to 11:11 (their lucky numbers).”

Los Angeles, CA

For the free-spirited couple, you might want to consider turning your wedding day into a movie premiere. How? Just look at the photos from Jordan and Sierra’s red carpet-worthy celebration.

The couple’s bold color choices, dramatic floral arrangements, and personalized neon signage set the scene for a rom-com with the happiest of endings. Their poster-inspired invitations and cinematic entrance transported guests straight into a fairytale (one with a modern edge), and surely led to rave reviews.

Burbank, CA

The bustling streets of New York came to Los Angeles for one epic city-to-city evening. Witness the “Big Apple” become the “Pink Apple” at Madison’s “Madison Avenue” birthday soirée.

Heightened details include a subway station photo op, a diner serving up burgers and shakes, street signage-inspired table numbers, and pink cab place cards. See the full event album to window shop more unique NYC-themed ideas.

New York, NY

While we’re on the topic of city themes, why not go mountainside? As one of the most iconic and remote destinations in the country, guests will always appreciate a whirlwind trip to Aspen. 

Jemma created her own ski resort with a lift-inspired DJ booth, ski run signage, gorgeous mountain backdrops, crisp white furniture details, and indoor fire pits. Trust us, you’ll want guests to cozy on up for a theme like this — as it’s guaranteed to give them chills.

New York, NY

The bride wore black — and created her own bodega-theme for another unique twist. Sylvia and Puneet infused culture into their experiential wedding day with a custom food market and bodega — and we’ve got receipts on all the details.

The interactive store included a specialty newspaper with photos and quotes from the wedding party, an “In sickness and health” vending machine, and “Have a nice life” to-go bags. We’ll take one of every idea, please.

Washington, D.C.

Hats off to the chef. We love a passion-turned-party theme — and this culinary-inspired Bar Mitzvah party is checking off all the necessary ingredients (from a rolling pin ceiling to egg carton centerpieces and a “beets” DJ booth).

With any bistro-inspired affair, catering becomes one of the most important elements, and this party delivered on a great menu with mini skillet-serving vessels, make your own cannoli station, and more.

Cat Spring, TX

Ready, set — revel (in this epic, interactive theme idea). For her 30th birthday, Ali hosted her own “Amazing Race” at her family’s ranch. The event was 10 months in the making, with countless details going into the party concept, décor — and of course, the race itself.

This “race to 30” included suitcase invitations, a supply store, first class flight-inspired catering, and a “zero-proof” mocktail bar.

London, England

The 60s may be making a popular party comeback — but an Austin Powers spin will keep it completely original.

This 21st-birthday party, which took place in London – yeah, baby! — kept guests on their toes with innovative design elements, on-theme catering, and a very specific dress code. Look through the party photos to spy a color-saturated entrance, flower-power table arrangements, and funky bar figures.

Los Angeles, CA

We’re living for this Barbie bachelorette party. While Barbie themes aren’t new (hello, Barbiecore trend), it’s the spin on details that can take it from ordinary to extraordinary.

This bride-to-be knew how to perfectly accessorize the party with hot-pink serving vessels (and matching pink drinks, duh), a hot-pink cassette DJ booth, beach Barbie-patterned blow up pools, and so much more.

Not included: the bride-to-be’s private beachfront estate. However, you can browse waterfront venues in PartySlate’s outdoor event spaces directory.

Dallas, TX

When you share your birthday party with a friend, you might have to make compromises — or maybe you won’t…

This Beyoncé Renaissance-inspired party added the birthday girls’ separate loves of disco and rodeo, and combined them into one innovative style. They say opposites attract, and in the world of unique party themes, it couldn’t be more true.

Miami, FL

All you need is The Beatles inspiration for your next party. This colorful, musical, and whimsical kids’ birthday party theme was a crowd pleaser for both the adults and kids in attendance.

Pay close attention to the shapely details that included flower sculpted tables, cushions, and cookies, alongside heart molded plates and vibrant star cutouts. When it comes to choosing a theme, why not bring to life a yellow submarine?

Dallas, TX

The world of party themes is truly your oyster (or maki roll, if you will). There’s no shame in playing pretend for the day, especially when it comes to the most unique celebration ideas. 

For Lily’s 25th birthday, she designed her own sushi restaurant with branded chopstick sleeves, custom wrapped tables, lychee bar signage, and more. It’s giving main character energy, with a side of soy sauce.

Temecula, CA

Nothing sets the tone for an epic wedding weekend like a unique welcome party theme — especially one with a nod to the couples’ personality. These grooms had creative party elements in the bag with their “90s catchphrase” themed occasion.

The nostalgic lingo says it all, with an iconic “Gettin’ sippy with it” boombox wall (holding grab-and-go juice pouches), a “Let’s bounce” bounce house (for the grown ups, this time), and a snack table that was “All that and a bag of chips.” Need more of the 411? Just browse the full event album.

New York, NY

Game over. This technology-themed Bar Mitzvah party wins when it comes to innovation. The details were, shall we say, out of control — with Xbox controller wall projections, video game-inspired designs, and holographic-inspired signage.

From the lighting to the interactive entertainment, there was no shortage of high-tech features that are sure to inspire your next party.

McKinney, TX

Super Mario World has never looked so…adorable. These parents-to-be celebrated their new family member with a “Super Baby World” shower. Choose your character: from Toad’s food truck to Princess Peach’s DJ booth.

Between all the winning elements, nothing leveled up the party like the signage, which featured Super Mario-inspired fonts, catchy phrases, and colorful backdrops.

Palm Beach, FL

Stephanie’s country club-themed Bat Mitzvah party put the perfect spin on your typical teen’s sports party. The theme was in full swing with a built-out, PGA-inspired golf shop in the midst of the celebration.

Stephanie’s event designer, Jen Gould Event Design, shared that the “storefront was surely a hit amongst Stephanie’s friends, for the line was out the door all night long!”

Dallas, TX

If you have a bun in the oven, this adorable McDonald’s-themed party inspiration is for you.

From the drive-thru ordering station to the custom golden arch and floral to-go boxes, this celebration proves branding is for way more than just corporate events. We’re truly “lovin” every fast foodie detail — and yes, we’ll have fries with that.

New York, NY

You’ve got spirit, yes you do — just make sure the bar has spirit(s), too. Blake’s University of Michigan sports-themed Bar Mitzvah party featured the school’s infamous football slogans, signature “Maize and Blue” colors, and nods to the program’s recognizable football stadium.

Game-winning inspiration goes far beyond one school: Take Blake’s ideas and apply them to your own team for a completely unique celebration.

Austin, TX

Trust us, no one hates a luxury vacation — especially without the hassle of travel. Maddy’s experiential Bat Mitzvah party took guests on a tropical trip with resort-inspired details and a sunny palette. 

The design boasts an “out of office” vibe with a room-key place card wall, sandy beach dance floor wrap, and palm tree centerpieces. Make sure to also check out the giant beach ball-inspired bar, which complemented a beach ball-covered ceiling. We’ll take a one-way ticket to Maddy’s, please.

Palo Alto, CA

Dalia’s pink puzzles-themed party kept things classy and creative. The party strategically used geometry to bring intriguing design elements to life, from the tableware to the serving vessels.

Delicate details kept the pink palette light and feminine, while guests solved various puzzles around the party (including a brilliant, custom word search about the Bat Mitzvah girl).

Santa Rosa, CA

We love a creative take on a classic theme. In this case, Disney magic took over for a Hocus Pocus-inspired dinner party. The evening featured a themed bounce house (and a dessert-induced sugar rush).

We’re spellbound by the party’s stunning candy cart, as well as the custom cocktails named after each witch — wins for both the kids and adults. 

Los Angeles, CA

Reality TV star Teddi Mellencamp did not disappoint when it came to her daughter’s 2nd birthday. Knowing Teddi’s love for punk rock style (and probably a good pun), the “Born 2 Rock” theme was born.

Mellencamp shared on Instagram that her daughter “partied like a rock star! If rock stars drank juice, ate with their hands, and went to bed at 7PM.” Sounds like the perfect night to us.

Boston, MA

A winter party is the perfect occasion to deck the halls – literally. Line the entryway to your event with metallic garlands, like at this beautiful surprise birthday dinner at The Langham, Boston. It’s the perfect way to transition your guests from their everyday routine to a winter wonderland.

A setup like this one is sure to make guests feel like they’re on holiday at your event.

Boston, MA

No matter the occasion, an event can always benefit from a seasonal arboreal display. This corporate holiday party at Sunset Room Hollywood utilized full-sized evergreens to accentuate the snowy theme.
