2007 Museum of the Rockies Ball

Saturday night we set up shop at the Museum of the Rockies Black Tie Ball. This party was a celebration and fundraiser marking the 50th year anniversary of the museum. Katalin Green Design, as always, planned a great event. This year's theme was "parting through the decades. Here is what the event planners themselves say about it... We were once again honored to be the event designers for the Museum of the Rockies Winter Event, this year celebrating with a 50th Anniversary Extravaganza. The question on everyone's mind this year was "How to Party through the Decades". We started where we always start with the Museum events, by building a great team of volunteers, Museum staff, and this year, audio/visual and lighting specialist. With the team in place, we dove into the process of designing five large rooms in the Museum itself, each themed around a specific decade (50's through the 90's). Our Fifties Room was built around Vegas complete with a poker room, a custom built "Vegas" sign, cigarette girls and our very own showgirl. A large screen played Movies and other iconic images from the decade as guests enjoyed signature drinks from our Martini bar. From the Fifties, our guests were able to move into the Sixties, complete with Go Go Dancers and a light show. The main hall was transformed from Dino to Disco to celebrate the Seventies. Full scale disco lighting, a sound system to rival any club, dance floor, a large video screen playing period movies (You guessed it, Saturday Night Fever among others) and plenty of sparkle celebrated what made the Seventies so memorable. Our eighties room featured the Lava Lounge for guests that wanted a quiet place to get away and enjoy a Tequila sunrise, complete with blinking LED ice cubes. Our final decade, the Nineties was built around a custom coffee bar serving a wide array of favorites. All of the rooms featured period furniture that was trucked in specifically for the event and we finished the look with custom linens and specialty centerpieces featuring self contained lighting. Exquisite catering and full bars, each serving a signature drink specific to the decade theme of the room, completed each room. Following the live auction with guest auctioneer, Senator Conrad Burns, the disco kicked into full gear and guests busted out their best moves under a spectacular light show! This year's gala was truly an over-the-top event and we could not have done it without the wonderful team of volunteers, Museum staff, Katalin Green Design Staff, Filmlites, Poindexter's, and the numerous others that supplied us with services and assistance. We would like to thank everyone involved for their contribution in making this such a wonderful evening. We would also like to congratulate the Museum of the Rockies on Fifty wonderful years and for allowing us to be part of the celebration! Cafe Evoke had a great response and we were happy to be a part of this great event. The idea of this event was to get our name, image, and cart in front of a new class of Bozeman community members -- people that may have never heard about us before. I feel that the event was a huge success for us. We met many new people -- caterers and guests -- and had a chance to really show our set up in an atmosphere we feel fits us best - with music, art, formal dress. We served out of nice glass mugs which was a great change from our normal 12 oz hot cups with JavaJackets. It was a long night but a very fun and successful one! ..be bold Tagged: cafe evoke, coffee catering, coffee, espresso, tea, bozeman, montana The Global Exchange Fair Trade Store is your Online Source for Socially Conscious Gifts
