Welcome to the Neighborhood

Last week, our team had the opportunity to see a brand new space opening right in our backyard, The Pearl SF.

It is a renovated industrial boiler and welding works building, which adds a certain style and sophistication factor that we don’t always see.

The first level is a beautiful open space with amazing art and sculptures by Alexis Laurent. We love anything that Alexis in involved in because we know it will be beautiful. 

We love the tiles in the women’s bathroom. It’s in the details!

The second floor has a great view of the old cranes that will be transformed into beautiful suspended gardens.

Having a rooftop space is an anomaly in San Francisco and we are excited about planning a great party on their rooftop. We are also excited by the great line-up of vendors they already have, including Birite and Gotlight

So thrilled this remarkable space is opening this spring! 

Cheers, 

Paige

Last week we visited the site of an upcoming event in Lodi, California.

As an intern, this provided a fun change of pace from my usual day. Our field trip answered all of our questions. We found the perfect space for a thank-you summer lunch for a corporate client.

Here a few of our examples of our theme inspiration:

We've taken a cue from this Pinterest idea and will be using 
Japanese washi tape to further incorporate the theme.

For this event we have a citrus-colored theme – lots of yellows and greens. We're creating a fun, summery feel; appropriate given the high temperatures in Lodi! 



The lunch will feature a frozen desert. These cupcake liners look pretty and catch every last drip.
