In the world of events, it’s the Event of the Year: It’s The Special Event Show!
I’m so excited to share a sneak peek at a celebration and behind the scenes appreciation of the incredible talent and production that goes into every event.
The Special Event Show is an internationally renowned event industry conference that hits a different major city each year. And this year San Diego strutted its stuff!
As Event Chair for “The Special Event Starts Here” I was excited to produce the first showcase event of this amazing week as more than 8,000 talented wedding and event industry professionals from around the globe descended on San Diego to see the best, brightest and newest to hit the world of event planning and production.
As Event Chair for the first night of celebrations: TSE Starts Here!, I couldn’t have asked for a better venue to get the party started than one of the hottest nightclubs in San Diego: Stingaree! ~Photo by Catch the Moment
“One of the best TSE Starts Here Events. The venue, the flow, the food . . . Tremendous.” ~David Breen, Principal Designer/Founder VDA Productions

The TSE Starts Here party was a great opportunity for industry professionals to meet and mingle and sample the offerings and services of some of San Diego’s best in the business: Indulge Catering offered up the best brie you’ve ever tasted; delectable breads; sumptuous seafood; some of the finest chocolates with exotic flavoring; and the Dessert Divas to entice!

“I thought the event at Stingaree was just perfect. Plenty of wonderful food, beautifully displayed, and no wait at the bar!
Sometimes outdoor events at night can seem a bit sad, but the event’s use of fire pits, cabanas, lighting and floral made for an exciting urban experience.
Can you tell I had a great time?
THANK YOU!”

Master DJ, Tim Altbaum kept the house hoppin’ way past closing time
Magic Flower’s dramatic pieces perfectly set off the sophisticated ambiance of the club
the coolest liquid fusion tabletops from Holo-Walls provided a fun edge to the party
Everyone loved the ‘green screen’ photo setup courtesy of Catch the Moment – a great takeaway souvenir.
