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!

Real Raven J. Event: Sydney's Sip and See

Hi everyone!  Things have been pretty busy around here, but I am excited to share pics from a recent event I planned.  You're probably wondering, what exactly is a Sip and See?  A Sip and See is a southern tradition where parents welcome friends and family into their home to meet their new baby.  Similar to a shower, except the Sip and See takes place after the baby is born.  For my client's Sip and See, we chose a pink and gold color scheme.  There were several "Sips" for the guests to enjoy including pink lemonade, sherbet punch and my favorite, a bubbly bar featuring mango, orange and cranberry mimosas.  The guests nibbled on heavy hors d'oeuvres and spent the rest of the day doting on baby Sydney!  It was such a joy to help this couple plan their first baby's sip and see.  I hope you enjoy some of the detail pictures below.

Happy Planning!

Atlanta Venue: The Roswell Historic Cottage

While outside the Perimeter I had the opportunity the visit the Roswell Historic Cottage, near the Roswell Square.  The venue is very unassuming from the outside but quite stunning on the inside.  It features 2 levels, loft style ceilings and stylish brick walls.  It's the perfect setting for a modern wedding reception or party of any kind.  See a few of my snaps below.

The Inventor's Loft Welcomes ISES

Happy Thursday everyone!  On yesterday I had the opportunity to visit and tour the Inventor's Loft, one of Atlanta's newest event venues.  The Inventor's Loft played host to the June ISES Atlanta chapter meeting, and I enjoyed every bit of it.  See a few of my snaps below.      

Take in the stunning garden view with the Atlanta skyline in the backdrop.  Perfect for a cocktail party of any kind!
