I just threw a launch party for the amazingly talented photographer, Latasha Haynes. She just sent me an e-mail thanking me, stating, “I must say that May 2nd was one of the top 10 most amazing nights of my life”.
It all began back in February when Latasha told me she wanted to throw a combination birthday/launch party in May for her new business. I told her that I could not think of a better location than the Hotel Murano. We discussed plans, and I envisioned a very elegant, fun night where the guests would walk in to see her photographs displayed around the room with a live band playing amidst a candle-lit background.
Well, everything we imagined together turned into reality—although not without some hard work!
My day started at 1:00pm picking up the cake which we had specially made with Latasha’s new logo decorating the top in icing. It looked spectacular—almost too good to eat!. I headed then to the Hotel to do set-up. I have to say that once it was underway, the guests said they felt it was like being in Hollywood at a glitzy party for some young starlet. We had a photo booth set up for the guests to play in and take their own pictures and there were several giveaways of photography sessions and t-shirts as party favors.
We were able to raise some of the money Latasha needed to buy a new lens for her camera with this creative gimmick of a ceramic piggy bank on which we wrote, “Help make me fat!” Everyone thought it was hilarious and contributed, raising a little over $600.00!
Even though I was working the entire time, I had one of the best nights of my life. The atmosphere was a perfect combination of the elegant-chic that I had planned for as well as simple joy from the revelers and from Latasha herself. It was truly the party of a lifetime, as Latasha said-- “That night will definitely go down in the history books!
