Challenge:
November 6th, 2018
At CLI Groups, we offer much more than corporate event planning. Some of our favorite clients have hired CLI for help planning and executing social events, including memorable and important gatherings such as birthday parties.
To celebrate her husband’s 60th birthday, a recent client needed help making a private dinner into a unique, special evening. Our CLI event manager worked with the on-site event coordinator to make a traditional dinner at Lawry’s The Prime Rib fine dining steakhouse into a creative, fun event.
The guest of honor enjoyed the Superbowl 2018 commercial and Budweiser campaign around the expression, “Dilly, Dilly,” so much that he wanted to use this as the event theme. CLI was tasked with bringing his vision to life, although it had never been done before.
Our creative events team was ready for the challenge, and looking forward to surprising guest with the unique event theme. We knew we needed much more than simply table linen and florals to complete the tablescape (although we do that everyday, learn more here!).
This special event would need that extra special touch only CLI can deliver.
Engage:
To help the birthday guest feel extra special, we found a unique “king’s chair” for him, the guest of honor. Our creative events team lead also coordinated the custom, themed table decor and centerpieces.
Not only did CLI help to find a birthday cake from a well-known local bakery to add another special touch to the 60th birthday party, we were also able to add to the event theme. Guests had a laugh over the custom crowns and buttons each person could wear to join in the fun. This extra creative event enhancement added memorable photo opportunities and served as a fun ice breaker to help all interact with each other.
In events, changes can impact the many details required to make an event rise from “good” to “fabulous.” Any time air travel is involved, changes in weather and flight times can often impact events.
When the guest of honor and his wife had their flights into Las Vegas potentially delayed due to weather, the CLI event lead was able to act quickly and secure a back-up location at the dinner venue. Luckily, all flights were on time and our client was able to have the birthday party on the planned date.
Resolve:
We at CLI Groups know a compliment from a client is the greatest achievement we can enjoy. It’s also why we work around the clock to ensure every detail of our clients’ Las Vegas events in executed professionally and successfully.
Here is what this Las Vegas event client had to say about CLI’s event services:
“We have you to thank for a perfect birthday celebration. I appreciate all the detail work that went into the planning. And both of you are so nice, it was incredibly easy to work with you,” said Sandy, our client.
If you have a birthday party or other social event coming up in Las Vegas, we’d love to help! Contact our team today and let us help you bring your creative event vision to life.
