Tuesday, September 14th, 2010
LED tables

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!

The Southern Bridal Show and Expo

Monday, August 16th, 2010

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!

Special Presentation By Sasha Souza at Cobblestone Hall for ISES meeting

Friday, June 4th, 2010

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.

“Wicked” Bat Mitzvah Raises The Bar For Halloween!

Monday, November 9th, 2009

Wicked Table Setting

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!

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.
