Ace of Spades goes 2Chic Events

  Party Lighting Sacramento makes a huge impact at the Ace of Spades! 

Wedding Lighting and Event Lighting in Sacramento as reached a new level of excellence.

On August 29, 2011 The Ace of Spades, Sacramento’s newest ALL AGES LIVE MUSIC VENUE located in the heart of Downtown Sacramento’s “R Street District” and is owned by Eric Rushing, received a 2Chic Events makeover!

When the handsome Eric Rushing (Ace of Spades) met the beautiful Aimee Wendell (2Chic Events and Designs), I'm not sure he was ready for what was about to happen.  I'm sure, although I was not present for the actual first conversation, it went a little like this....

Aimee: We would like to showcase your venue as an alternate wedding venue.

Eric: That would be great.  We would love to be able to do weddings here too.

Aimee: Ok Ladies and Joe ( SJ's Disc Jockey) unload the trucks!!!!!!

   

The next thing Eric knew he was being surrounded by glitter and glam, crystal chandeliers clicked and clanked, fluffy pillows and shiny fabric was everywhere, and he was over come by the smell of perfume!!!

Ok  hahahaha ...maybe it wasn't quite that extreme, but there was gorgeous antique chairs, chic furniture, dining settings and props from 2Chic Events, beautiful dining linen fabrics from Mimi n Co., props and florals from Visual Impact Designs, the yummiest desserts ever from Peace. Love. & Sugar., and

Atmosphere Lights... "well, we brought the atmosphere"!. 

Fortunately the lovely and extremely talented Jessica- Stout Photography was there to capture each gorgeous moment of this party lighting extravaganza! Thank you Ms. Jessica for the stunning photos.

THE MAIN FLOOR:

We hung (15) of our signature lamp shades from the 30' ceiling, with an added touch of crystals from Aimee. Uplighting, which is our unique specialty, highlighted the entrance with gold streams shooting up the walls like a Hollywood showcase.  We used gold, hot pink, and electric blue to bring out the architectural features such as the new crimson wallpaper and vintage-looking chandeliers, which dress up the main bars of this music venue.   Then we cascaded hot pink and electric blue paisley projections across the antique and chic furniture to really make the whole room "pop"!  As an added touch of fun we projected a realistic looking chandelier gobo on the main wall entrance to tie-in with the existing vintage-looking chandeliers.  And for the final touch, we added pinspot lighting.  Pinspots beamed down from the ceiling to highlight the beautiful simple yet elegant floral centerpieces; that were on top of the shiny, sparkly, and very classy linens making each dining setting so inviting.

Then from across the room it shines in lights, it glows, it screams... 'come eat me'!  Displayed on a beautiful vintage dressing table ... "The Desserts"!  Glorious macaroons, chocolate mousse yummy push-up pops that are like... 'Oh my God my thighs just got bigger' desserts.  And the highlight of all the desserts shining in lights is the most stunning Marilyn Monroe cake EVER!  Yes, and all of the cake is edible,  but who would dare? She's so amazing and life like..... Wow! Peace. Love. & Sugar indeed!  ;)

THE BALCONY VIP ROOM or BRIDE & GROOM "secret getaway "

This area is fun because you can over look your whole party, spy on your guest, and enjoy your own private bar getaway. We uplit this area in sexy hot red, cobalt blue and gold, and accented it with soft white lamps and lamp shades. We kept it very understated, soft, and romantic.

And then when the party was over... we packed it all up and it was as if we were never there.  Not a hint of perfume or glitter in sight back to rock and roll! hehehehe!

What an exciting day it was. I personally had a lot of fun. :) !
