Hi, My name is Shawna and I am the newest intern here at Perfect Productions. So, have you ever heard of the event planning program, SketchUp?? Well, today was the first time I have ever heard of the program. Actually, I guess you could say yesterday was the first day I heard the word SketchUp but today was my first day to use it and boy was it difficult. Its a great program and a lot of fun but let me tell you, it may look easy but it most certainly is not. I had to make a model of a bridal table I am designing for a bridal show coming up in October and putting the "components" (plates, tablecloth, chairs, silverware) in the perfect position was the most daunting of tasks. I had to make sure the plates were on top of the table perfectly and of course the silverware had to be close to one plate but not too close to the other and the centerpiece had to be right smack in the center if the table. Although, it was a long day, the model is coming along very well and is looking great might I add!


Anyways, It has been all in all a great experience so far! So stay tuned as I will be writing again to report back about the work of an intern at Perfect Productions!

Make Your Guest Tables Look Like A Wedding Gown.


Have you looked at a Wedding dress and the bottom was fluffy and scrunched in a way, as seen to the left? Elissa thought it would look great if you took that dress style and made a table cloth flow over that table just that way.

Although it took some time and much effort to get the cloth even at the bottom it was worth the hard work. It adds a little pizazz to the look of the table and will give the room a little more elegance. So forget just throwing on a decorated cloth and be creative and make it look just like a wedding dress. This will not only make the decor look great but will give all your guest something to talk about and I am sure you will see it at one of their events. You can do this a simple pattern cloth or a solid color. If your using a solid color you could put a flower or bow at each scrunched area to add little more.


Now you ask, How did I do it? It's simple yet difficult at the same time. I took rubber bands and scrunched the material up and then used the rubber bands to hold the material together. For the second layer of scrunched material I took the cloth and brought it up to the first rubber banded material and then used another rubber band to hold all the material together, you can do this as many times as you'd like. The only difficult part is that you have to watch for is the bottom of the cloth being even all the way around the table. To the right is a picture of the table I set up in the office with the scrunched table cloth bottom.

The Inside Scoop on Interning at Perfect Productions!

My name is Tasha and I am the new Intern here at Perfect Productions. I attended Johnson & Wales University majoring in Event Management. I got my first Events this week from Elissa and Brian. I am working on a Halloween party and the Holiday Party. They are very helpful and only being here a week and a half I am already learning a lot.

2009 Hope for Heroes Kickball Tournament

Hello Everyone!

This past weekend Perfect Productions and Liberty Bank sponsored a Charity Kickball Tournament for veterans. It was the first time this event was being held and overall it was a great day. Even though the weather was not the greatest, we made it happen as a team. The planning of the event was done by Kelly Tracey. It was her first event and she did a great job!

Six teams played in the tournament; Paw Play, Ingenix, Inovative Fitness, Perfect Productions, First & Last Tavern, and Liberty Bank. The Champions of the tournament was Liberty Bank.

Great music was played while the teams played a game they most likely have not played since gym classes in grade school. To end the day we had an amazing BBQ chicken dinner.
