September 14, 2010: Bay 7 in Durham, NC: Pictures from the Triangle NACE Annual Top of the Table Fundraiser to benefit Interfaith Food Shuttle. For the second year Showtime Events provided the 30+ foot acrylic LED tables for the silent auction. The illuminated tables helped attract people and draw them in to bid on the silent auction items
The silent auction table Showtime Evenets provided consisted of the following configuration. From one end to the other - IM 30″ High boy cocktail table, IM 6′ buffet table with high bases, IM 6′ buffet table with high bases, IM 60″ octagon with low base and 30″ riser in middle with glass blocks, IM 6′ buffet table with high bases, IM 6′ buffet table with high bases, IM 30″ High boy cocktail table. The total length of the tables was 30+ feet and had different viewing levels in the middle (see pictures).
The illuminated silent auction table could have been made longer if needed by adding additional 8′ buffet tables on each side. Silent auction items were on both sides of the long table allowing people to walk on both sides and look at items all the way around the long table.
Was an incredible event that highlighted some of the amazing design talent in the Triangle NC area!

On August 15, 2010 Showtime Events and Cobblestone Hall attended the The Southern Bridal Show & Expo in Raleigh, NC and had 2 fantastic booths! Both booths features stunning full color images, a wide variety of products we offer, information about our service and special events venue, our exclusive Ice Magic Acrylic LED products and lighting and much more!

The Showtime Events team of Janet, Sarah, Cliff and James had a great time working in both booths and speaking with over 650 excited brides and their extended families and friends. Wedding shows are always fun because every one in attendance is happy and just ready to plan everything for their upcoming big wedding day! This show was one of the best we have attended in a long time and it was steady and busy with traffic for the entire day.
People were VERY excited to talk about Cobblestone Hall for their venue and discuss the different ways Showtime Events could bring the “wow” to their event! It was also great to see so many of our friends from the events industry at their booths as well. We are looking forward to the next show!

Showtime Events teamed up with the Mixin’ DJ squad to Entertain the crowd for the Lugnut’s Post Game 90’s Concert. The concert was a huge sucess. The crowd was dancing and partying up to DJ SNS and DJ Jaye Duane mixing up all the favorite hits from the 90’s while also mixing up Videos on two 8 ft screens.

Showtime Events provided our signature acrylic LED tables, lighting and much more. The lit DJ table and the trussing lights were on a slow color scroll throughout the night.

On June 8, 2010 Progress Energy hosted a spectacular dinner at Cobblestone Hall. Employees from Progress Energy and affiliates all around the world gathered to network and enjoy an authentic North Carolina feast featuring pulled pig, brisket, homemade green bean casserole, baked beans, sweet tea, and much more. The fabulous food was provided by Empire Eats and The Pit.
As an added bonus for their guests, The Pit’s pitmaster Ed Mitchell, who has been featured in The New York Times, Gourmet Magazine, and many other national publications, was present during the event and spoke with all of the guests.

Wedding season officially got started at Cobblestone Hall on Saturday, May 15, 2010. Holly and Emmett celebrated their big day with a beautiful reception at Cobblestone Hall along with 200 of their friends and family.The guests danced and toasted Holly and Emmett until late in the evening and everyone had an amazing time. 
One of the challenges during the reception was the fact that Artsplosure, a massive annual arts festival that attracts over 50,000 people, had all of the streets in the entire surrounding area closed during the same weekend. Working with the Artsplosure organizers a back road into City Market was left open so we could get the wedding party and guests to the venue on time. On the day of the reception everything went smoothly and the event went off without any delays or issues.
All of us at Cobblestone Hall and Showtime Events want to congratulate Holly and Emmett (and their entire families) again. It was an honor to be part of the wonderful event and special day.

Showtime Events and Cobblestone Hall were the host for the ISES meeting on April 27, 2010. The local ISES chapter (Greater Triangle NC Chapter) went overboard with the design and decor of the new event space with beautiful linens, florals, candles, lighting, and exceptional buffet stations for the meeting.
Nationally known wedding planner Sasha Souza from Sasha Souza Events was the featured speaker at the meeting and over 100 people were in attendance. Her presentation featured images and information from events she has produced. It also highlighted many helpful ideas for all who attended to incorporate into their future events. The meeting was an enormous success and the feedback was incredible.

For many who came to the meeting this was their first chance to see the new Cobblestone Hall venue and everything the space has to offer. The entire space looked amazing and a special thanks goes out to all of the sponsors (please see list below). Premier Catering provided a fantastic menu for the night that included hand passes items and multiple food stations.
Thank you to the following sponsors of April’s Greater Triangle NC ISES Chapter Meeting who assisted with making the meeting at Cobblestone Hall a huge success.

Raleigh, N.C.’s Capital City Club celebrated its 30th Anniversary October 30, 2009 with a 70’s themed birthday party! Guests were dressed in their poly-synthetic best and enjoyed heavy hor d’ourves, beer, wine and much more!

LED Bar
Showtime Events helped turn the ballroom into a disco with creative and fitting light effects, including a 21 foot Acrylic LED Bar, 4 Acrylic LED high boy cocktail tables, and additional perimeter up-lighting.

Bar Tables
Platform shoes and double-knit pantsuits abounded as guests “shook their tail feathers” to disco music artistically compiled by a Touch of Class DJ. Fun was had by all as people danced and celebrated late into the night. We were honored to work with the team at the Capital City Club again and look forward to another great 30 years to come!

Wicked Table Setting
Raleigh, N.C.’s biggest party this October 31, 2009 was the “Wicked” themed bat mitzvah at the Renaissance Marriott at North Hills. Performers from N.C. Theater’s hit musical “Wicked” entertained guests in an elaborately festive green, purple and blue setting.
Showtime Events handled all the lighting, creating a truly incredible atmosphere befitting All Hallows Eve. This included dance floor lighting, spotlighting and LED up-lighting throughout the room, as well as additional room wash lighting. LED lights on each table illuminated the elaborate (and amazing!) centerpieces created by English Garden Florals. In addition all 200+ people in attendance wore custom designed “Wicked” acrylic party pass necklaces that were each illuminated with a personal LED. This was the first bar or bat mitzvah in the area to have these at the event!

An Incredible Cake!
Swank Cakes created an amazing “Wicked” theme cake that really blew away everyone in attendance. It was nothing short of cake artwork! Evan Pike of Andrew Bryant Photography took spectacular photos during the night.
Showtime Events also provided a 21 foot, curving acrylic LED bar for the massive main bar in the room and a fun, multi-tiered acrylic LED candy bar station. Both were big hits with guests as the lighting in the room widely varied in predetermined patterns and color morphs during the night! Above the bar and candy table Showtime Events projected 2 full color gobos that matched the “Wicked” party theme of the event.
This bat mitzvah was one of the grandest events the Triangle has ever seen, and one that will not soon be forgotten. We were honored to be part of the planning and execution of this incredible production.
