Do An Event - Scrapbook

Do An Event was hired just 14 days prior to the 2006 PBFC's event date. We managed to provide a beautiful 30'x60' tent to hold W.O.W. - "Welcome to Our World" - a day spa for California Legislators and staff. In the tent were stylists, manicurists, masseurs and make-up artists, all pampering the guests of PBFC. Scrumptious light hors de oeuvre and delicious fruit spritzers were butler served throughout this 5 hour extravaganza. Do An Event has been invited back each year since to grow the event in all aspects. Reaching our State's political decision makers, in this unique way, is a perfect match for Do An Event.

The 2010 event will celebrate their 10th Anniversary. We plan to expand the tent and blow away the guests with our themed environment!

Do An Event designed a "living in harmony" themed event to celebrate the joining of two different firms sharing one corporate home. A lime green and black color scheme popped against the natural colors of their office building. A pianist greeted guest as they walked the elegant black carpet entrance. lined with eye-level birdcages had luscious hanging baskets filled with lime colored flowers and fresh fruits and vegetables. Out the rear of the building and under a 500 foot-long gazebo, a culinary partner was mated at each of the 5 wine tasting stations. A palate cleansing station with sparkling waters and hand-made sorbets were offered. Latin jazz filled the air and a cigar lounge with live flaming torches was a huge hit with corporate clients.

Susan G. Komen Sacramento Race for the Cure, Post Race EXPO Each year, on the day before Mother's Day, the Race for the Cure sees the numbers of attendee's grow. 2007, the Foundation's 25th Anniversary, nearly 25,000 people participated! Do An Event was privileged to assist in producing an outstanding and exciting celebration for their 2008 and 2009 Races. The Do An Event team incorporated a fresh new colorful look with over 13,500 feet of pink and white vinyl, established volunteer guidelines and job descriptions for the over 932 volunteers, added 6 INFO Czars to the California Exposition Fair Grounds and distributed over 350 signs, gave away over 19,000 baked items, 14,000 pieces of fresh fruit, 10,400 Yoplait yogurts and 21,000 beverages! So needless to say, they need the 91 port-o-lets!

Do An Event was challenged by the area's new IKEA store to transform an empty office building into a 4-day job fair. It was 25,000 sq. feet simply within 4 walls. We brought in diesel generators to provide electricity and heat. We then, in partnership with IKEA's logistics team, created a traffic flow that attendees would follow to complete the job fair process. Over 1200 feet of extension cords, 1400 feet of expo drape, 110 tables and nearly 600 chairs were set into place to accommodate the nearly 3000 applicants. Do An Event was also charged with providing the current staff with their year-end holiday party. Challenged by the industrial gray of the store's loading dock...orange and red seemed to excite both the mood and staff.

Dream Home Showcase

Do An Event was a vital partner in the Logistics Management of all 3 Dream Home Showcase's for the Northern California Building Industry Association. These bi-annual public events looked at the Sacramento region's best in home design, interior design and landscaping. They were one of our favorite events yet one that challenged us the most to accomplish. As the on-site logistics management firm, we were responsible for all public access areas. Starting with the layout of the remote parking lot, shuttle bus route to the site and staffing of the ticket office. We directed all deliveries including the public restrooms, sponsor's tents, food court and stage area, temporary landscaping and the installation of all directional signage. This 4-week, 5-weekend tour featured 5 multi-million dollar custom mansions at these prestigious gated communities; Twelve Bridges, Lincoln, California 2005, Empire Ranch, Folsom, CA. 2003 and Serrano, El Dorado, CA. 2001.

“It was a pleasure to work with Do An Event proprietor Kevin Cohee in the planning and execution of our annual community fair. His administrative ex-pertise provides a high level of negotiated savings with our sub-contractors and due to his networking base, our organization was able to increase funding and sponsorships. With out question, Do An Event provides great value and service for their fee structure. We look forward to a continued working relationship while growing mutual interests.“ Carlota Gutierrez, Secretary, Board of Directors West Sacramento Neighbors Fair

Just a quick note to thank you and your team again for an incredible day yesterday at W.O.W. What a wonderful group you have....personable, professional, and motivated. You know what they say...that tone of success always starts at the top, and that is you! We'll talk more...just didn't want the day to go by without thanking you profusely for your great effort, patience, and imaginative approach to hosting a memorable affair -- in the unique style of Do An Event! Alex and I walked into our house at midnight last night, feeling exhausted but exhilarated. It's that same way today....feeling an all-time high despite those puffy eyes and sore feet!

This letter of appreciation is to tell what a wonderful experience we have had working with Kevin Cohee and his great team of experts. They are just what your event and party needs to be a success. They will work hard and diligently to create the environment for a great experience. They are fun yet very professional and extremely attentive to all the details that make the event something you won't soon forget. As a working professional myself, we know what is needed to do a consistently great job and they have it! We have been working with Do An Event for many years and they are at the top of our list to work with.

Kevin was instrumental in the success of our "Intergenerational Tea" this past year (October 1999) for the patients of the Breast Cancer Early Detection Program. We had never done an event like this, but with Kevin's support in the concept and his creative, artistic implementation, it was a huge success. What I really appreciated was Kevin's ability to listen to our thoughts, requirements and ideas, as well as our limitations; he put together a beautiful event that was reflective of our guests, staff and the mission of our program. We were so impressed by his abilities, we immediately booked him for the next years event. (Along with a few more in between!) I highly recommend Do An Event to anyone looking for a professional, organized, creative and unique event with a personal touch.

Kevin, Everyone (including Ted & me) truly enjoyed themselves last Friday. Some-one asked if we could have a New Years party - so I guess that suggests it was fun for all. The decorations were elegant yet magical, great for adults and children. I just loved the spontaneity / child like feeling of the evening. Merry Christmas, Patty & Ted - Livingston Concrete Services
