Event Professionals Mixer - Roe

Founded by Erica Ota of Erica Ota Events, an ever-expanding group called Bay Area Event Professionals helps bring professionals in the industry together for a night of networking at a different venue every other month. January’s mixer was held at Roe in San Francisco who served as the catering sponsor as well as the venue sponsor.

We were more than excited when Erica asked us to sponsor the entertainment for the night. Who better to bring with us than one of our talented caricaturists, Zach Trenholm?

Guests quickly lined up for Zach to sketch his best rendition of them, and by the looks of it, he did a great job!

Thanks to Erica and Roe for hosting us at such a fun event!

Oakland City Center Tree Lighting 2012

The community of Oakland came together at the Oakland City Center last month to celebrate the holiday season during the annual Tree Lighting sponsored by the Center’s management company, CBRE.

Complete with cookie decorating, assorted holiday snacks, beverages courtesy of Fountain Café, and pictures with Santa and his elves, families delighted in holiday sounds from local talent.

The evening kicked off with a performance from a cappella youth ensemble Vocal Rush, who wowed the audience with harmonies and beat-boxing. Next up was SoVoSo, who never fails to impress a crowd with their unique spin on classics. Then, the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Cavalier from the Oakland Ballet Company made a featured performance showcasing their flexibility and graceful dance style. Last but not least, the Oakland Youth Chorus brought the community together as they sang “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” as Santa lit the tree!

The night was magical and entertaining as the community rejoiced in the holiday season. Special thanks to Rick Herns Productions for their fantastic holiday décor, and to Barbara Llewellyn Catering for providing tasty gingerbread cookies for cookie decorating.
