Trust me

Let’s face it…it’s hard to hear the truth. When you have something set in your mind and you believe that you know the right way to do it and how much it should cost, you do not want to be told something else. That said, if that something else could make for a better outcome, a more valuable end result and one that caused far less stress than the alternative, who amongst us wouldn’t trust the expert?

fabulously 40

while we weep for weddings (in a good way!) and adore mitzvahs, nothing says party like the big 4-0.  we have done a lot of 40th birthday bashes over the years, and each one is just as spectacular as the next.  what makes them so fun is the group of people chosen to surround them [...]

It’s Boo-Bash Time!

The leaves are falling, the temperature is dropping and it’s my personal favorite time of year to throw a party. I am always inspired by the gorgeous autumn colors and smell of fall. What’s more, October always ends with one of the best excuses to celebrate creatively: Halloween! We have clients who look forward to [...]

today, i would like to share with you an incredible video of what took place BEFORE the big day.  from erecting the tent and laying the floor to styling the space and creating floral centerpieces.  so many people worked so hard to make this event happen and we are thrilled to share their hard work with you.

A Warm Welcome and a Vintage Flair

At Amy Zaroff Events + Design, we are in love with all things vintage. Check out this recent design we created for one of our brides.

The bride chose a pineapple to incorporate throughout her accessories along with an inviting color combination of turquoise, yellow and royal blue. As explained on the postcard, the pineapple is known as the universal symbol of a warm welcome, good cheer and hospitality.  It certainly sets the tone for her guests.

Pretty in Pink

here at amy zaroff events + design, we have had a busy spring and summer.  i cannot wait to share all the amazing images with everyone and today we start!

this wedding took place in june, on the missouri river which separates iowa and nebraska.  so, the ceremony was in one state and the reception in another.  from the beginning, the plan was to erect a tent to hold their 300+ guests.  along the river was our ideal spot, but the summer flood of 2011 had different plans.  a week before the big day, the rising waters forced us to move our tent to an alternative location.  the venue and all vendors rose to the challenge and created what became a magical event.
