Superhero Themed Event With Jason DeRulo

Superheroes vs. Villains Themes With Jason Derulo

 

OVERVIEW

To celebrate 19 years of PEAK6 success we decided to go with a superhero theme for their super team! PWE ensured from the entrance to exit the venue was covered in superhero details. From a Batmobile at the entrance to each guest getting their own superhero or villain wristband throughout the night, from specialty cocktails labeled appropriately for the event, to comic book decorated tabletops, this event was one to remember. Jason Derulo was the surprise performer for the evening.

They seamlessly coordinated six caterers, three decor companies and five top entertainment acts to perfection. The night was unforgettable and magical for our guests.

— Julie Novack (CEO & Founder, PartySlate)

OVERVIEW

The theme of the evening focused upon “Inspiration” and what drives and stimulates the imagination for events. PWE managed three décor companies, six caterers, entertainment production, sound and lighting throughout four different spaces and worked with each of them to insure they all blended with the underlying theme.

Décor companies included Kehoe Designs, with its watercolor-themed “Paint Your Story” gallery; HMR Designs with an “All About Love” theme’ and Platinum Events, which created a “Platinum” theme. Catering partners included Entertaining Company, J&L Catering, Blue Plate, Catering by Michaels, Paramount Events and Foodstuffs Events & Catering.

Sound Investment filled the entire space with video projection, sound, lighting, and wallscapes of strolling event images. Entertainment was provided by BKO BeatMix Music which included a DJ with a strolling violinist, a gospel choir and an international drum line. New Moon Chicago provided servers on stilts, a champagne chandelier and a living red carpet.

Other partners included Tablescapes who provided the entire rental needs for the bar and catering teams, photographer extraordinaire Sheri Whitko, 360 degree videos were taken by Jamwoc Mixed Reality Solutions, and TagPrints Digitals provided a social media photo booth with a green screen for some additional fun. Pulp & Ink designed the custom digital invitation and Modern Luxury served as the media sponsor, while Beefeater London, Absolut Elyx and Jameson Black Barrel were the featured liquor sponsors for the night.

The evening came to an end as Doughnut Vault handed guests their signature doughnuts as they left the party. It truly was an evening of inspiration and a night to remember!

Virgin Atlantic Launch Events

Virgin Atlantic Launch Events

“Thank you PWE for all that you did to make our inaugural party a great success. Despite the short lead time, you succeeded in translating all the concepts into a memorable reality.”

— Caroline White (Marketing Manager, Virgin Atlantic Airways)

OVERVIEW

In 1999, we helped Virgin CEO Sir Richard Branson host an event to celebrate the commissioning of the daily London-Chicago flight. The event featured the merging of London and Chicago cultural elements and was attended by Virgin Atlantic Airways execs, local dignitaries and passengers that arrived on the inaugural flight.

In 2007, we produced a day of dual-purpose events celebrating Virgin Atlantic Airways’ purchase of Boeing’s newest commercial aircraft, the 787 Dreamliner, as well as the reinstatement of the daily London-Chicago route. The day began with a press event for over 150 local, national and international media held in the Aviation Wing of Chicago’s Museum of Science & Industry. The program featured Sir Richard Branson and Boeing CEO James McNerney discussing the environmental efficiencies of the new aircraft & closed with a spectacular light and video production which was then raised to reveal a 25’x25’ full-scale mock-up of the 787 Dreamliner cabin.

That evening, guests were invited to celebrate at an exclusive cocktail reception featuring various amenities from a Virgin Atlantic flight through mock-ups of the Upper Class seating pods, in-flight massage chairs and oxygen bars. In another fusion of London & Chicago cultural elements, the 1,000+ guests were entertained by British recording star Heather Smalls, accompanied by the Chicago Praise Choir.

Presence Health Foundation Events & Consulting

Presence Health Foundation Events & Consulting

“The folks at PWE were amazing!  They worked brilliantly with our team to plan an annual event that was better than the year before and was always on point with our brand and messaging.” — Amy Day (VP of Foundation, Presence Health)

OVERVIEW

The Presence Health Foundation is an Illinois non-profit corporation organized for charitable contributions that benefit all Presence Health entities. The Presence Health Annual Ball is their largest black-tie gala of the year and raises over $1 million for the foundation annually.

For many years PWE produced the annual gala for Presence Health, formerly Resurrection Health Care Foundation. This black-tie gala invited more than 600 of Presence Health’s top sponsors, donors and VIP’s.

From the high energy Mucca Pazza Parade to the Three Waiters and some of Chicago’s best known restaurants, Paulette Wolf Events each year allowed the foundations to raise more and more dollars. One of the most successful years was to craft an event around the theme of One Team. We were able to enlist the support of former notable Chicago Athletes to attend the gala such as Frank Thomas, Otis Wilson, Dan Hampton & Matt Forte as well as helping to secure Mike Ditka, who served as honorary chair that year.

We were also brought on to consult internally creating their blueprint for all fundraising events moving forward.

In more recent years, Presence celebrated the gala with entertainment such as The Temptations and a One Hit Wonder show including The Drifters, The Trammps, Tommy Tutone and Tone Loc.
