ISES had their monthly meeting in October and it was a Hollywood Halloween-themed party!

Held at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood, it was the perfect place for ISES members to dress in their costumed best, play games, eat orange-white chocolate from Chocolate Delights, and dance the night away! Doyle Borden from My Flower Guy designed all the flowers and decor of the event, including the overall design, which was a perfect mix of Halloween at a vintage Hollywood hotel!Met some very nice people, including Kevin Viner who did an amazing magic trick for us that involved lemons that I’d never seen before, a talking photobooth from E-pod Events, and I even got a tarot card reading from Susanna with Leonard Neil productions.

I always love attending ISES events because you get to see familiar faces and brand new faces, and everyone is just so talented! I plan on lunching with Erika from An Catering, attending a show at the Magic Castle this week for Andrew Goldenhersh, and I’ll be volunteering at the “Meet the Masters” event in November! The life of an event planner is always busy!

But definitely the best part of the night was the costume contest and the scavenger hunt. Congrats to Jeremy for having that competitive spirit and to everyone who dressed up for the occasion!

Great news! Our Mad Hatter’s Tea Party was featured in “Utterly Engaged” this month! You can find the e-zine on the website in issue #004, but I also posted all the pages here for you to enjoy!
Special thanks to Adrienne Gunde, my photographer who also got the event in the magazine, and Eva Chiou, who allowed us the opportunity to post! Looking forward to the next one!

I coordinated a martial arts school’s first “Open House” in the fall this month. It was a busy event where we offered free martial arts, a bounce house for the kids, snow-cones, fresh popcorn, free massages, and gifts and prizes for all attendees!
We took over the parking lot and welcomed everyone with a colorful balloon arch! Our first martial arts class had over 30 kids, and our second class had over a dozen. After class, each child received a goody bag of a free t-shirt, a bottle of water, and information about martial arts.

We planned the first “Open House” for a martial arts school to invite the local community to visit and promote martial arts and its benefits to both kids and adults. After offering free martial arts classes, guests received free prizes and enjoyed a bounce house, free sno-cones and fresh popcorn, free massages, and watched martial arts demonstrations. For lunch we also had the KogiBBQ truck stop by for a visit. Click photos for more info.
