The Smith Haughey Rice & Roegge grand opening was bittersweet for all of us at 834. The grand opening event marked the end of the Flat Iron Building public relations campaign that we had started back in the spring of 2011. However, it did give us the opportunity to throw a great party. We worked with Smith Haughey to outline the event plan, manage all vendors, coordinate logistics and on-site management the day of.
Did we mention, we love event planning? Because we do.
The vendors:
Venue: Grand Rapids Art Museum
Valet: At Your Service Valet
Florist: Modern Day Floral
Catering: Gilmore Collection
Ice Sculpture: Ice Brigade
Bar Service: Applause Catering
Celebrating the Move!
