Lucky Roll of the Dice!

A room full of Elvis's, showgirls and other Vegas partiers had colleagues of the Toronto General Hospital-Emergency Medicine laughing and dancing till the wee hours of the morning. The casino tables, ranging from those for poker aces to those for blackjack newbies, were a big hit with this fun crew. A delicious dinner, followed by gaming and dancing got these hard working colleagues in the mood for the holidays.

Beautiful decor helped set the mood. The crystal, illuminated, feathered centerpieces made the room feel like the Bellagio. While the red accented tablecloths and decor pieces gave the room just a touch of Vegas's signature themes: fire and excitement!

After all the chips were counted 5 lucky folks walked away with casino raffle prizes that night, but all those who attended walked away from this good time feeling lucky.

Congratulations Divya and Vinya!

HOW TO CHOOSE AN EVENT PLANNER

Not all event planners are created equal. In fact very few are experienced, professional, and dedicated to the profession. It takes years in the industry to build up a network of reliable vendors and it takes constant diligence to keep up with current trends, new venues, and new vendors. Before hiring an event planner inquire as to their level of experience in the following:

• Budgeting
• Venue selection
• Event design
• Catering
• Décor
• Rentals
• Entertainment
• Invitations
• Transportation
• Accommodations
• Staffing
• Photography/Videography
• AV equipment
• Webcasting
• Videoconferencing
• Onsite supervision

Good, professional event planners will save you time and money. They are flexible and versatile and can provide services on an as needed basis or plan and execute your entire event. An experienced, professional event planner will be pleased to show you photos of the events that they handled and share with you their roster of clients. A corporate event planner will have had experience with a wide range of events from AGMs to fundraising galas and everything in between. Event planners are creative geniuses and logistics experts rolled into one.

If you are looking for an event planner, look no further. Contact Events by Parris. With years of experience in the industry, we can help to differentiate your company from the competition.

Event: Yahoo! Canada's Client Appreciation Night

Events by Parris was happy to assist Yahoo! Canada with their annual Client Appreciation Night. Held at Atlantis, the theme was "You're the Star". From the papparazzi at the entrance, the Guitar Hero Video Gaming Room, to the magazine cover shoot inside--the guests were made to feel like the next Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie!!
Take a look!
