Real Raven J. Event: "40 in the City" Birthday Celebration

Hi everyone!  I'm very excited to share detail pictures from a recent 40th birthday party that I planned and coordinated for a client.  She was an absolute joy to work, the perfect client to be exact.  When she contacted me she explained that she wanted a simple but elegant affair and that is exactly what I produced.  Take a look below.

As you can see above, the venue has lots of natural beauty and personality, with the exposed brick walls, chandeliers and awesome lighting and wall fixtures.  We chose to use white table linens and gold chiavari chairs for a clean look and feel.  I used gold sequin table runners with lots of candles for just the right touch of elegance.

If you are celebrating a milestone birthday soon, email me at raven@ravenj.com to get the party started!

Happy Planning!

200 Peachtree Open House

Happy Hump Day everyone!  If you've been following my blog you can agree that I've been on an "Open House" roll.  But I love it.  It's a great way for me to check out local event venues, sample great food and cocktails, and catch up with my event planning buddies.  Last night, I attended the 200 Peachtree Open House.  If you live in Atlanta, you may know it as the former Rich's building.  Located on Peachtree Street, 200 Peachtree boasts luxurious chandeliers, high ceilings and columns, perfect for a glam wedding or celebration of any kind.  The venue is huge and perfect for someone desiring to celebrate in the heart of the city. I took a few pics below to share with my loyal readers :-).  We were even entertained by a professional aerialist. Cool, huh?

Happy Planning!

Occasions Expo

On yesterday I attended the Occasions Expo at the Georgia World Congress Center .  Unlike a bridal show, the Occasions Expo highlighted events of all kind.  There were planners, caterers, stationery designers, floral designers, linen companies, event rentals, and even a portable cigar lounge ( I can't wait to use this at one of my events!!!).  Check out a few of my snaps below.
