Now is not the time to cut back on investing in your employees. With the economic impact

that businesses are facing it is even more important than ever for businesses to invest

in their employees and show them how much they are truly appreciated. Due to our relation-

ship with hundreds of vendors we can offer you the E-Ventive Package. Some of our best

vendors are willing to give us a commission for bringing them business in this stressful eco-

nomic time. By discounting our planning fees, the commission would pay the planning fees

and you still get all the benefits of having an experienced event planner on your team. We

guarantee that the vendors we use will be some of the best in their fields so we wouldn't be

sacrificing quality for price. This is one of the advantages we have that comes from working

with hundreds of vendors throughout the year and we are excited to get to pass this ad-

vantage off to you. Before cancelling that event, contact your PEC planner for ideas that will

work with your budget and your teams needs.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Welcome 2011 and may it be a successful, prosperous new year for all!

PEC is really looking forward with anticipation to all the unique, fun and fabulous ideas and events that

will come our way throughout the year. It’s time to explore the hottest new trends, the hot & hap-

pening venues, and the most amazing vendors. It’s the time to be on the lookout for any new and ex-

citing items that can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. At Premier this time of year is

very inspiring for us. We are excited about all the possibilities and know all of you will be too. This is

also the time of year when we reflect back on those people we have worked with over the course of

the last year and offer our sincerest gratitude for such an amazing group of people to work with.

We’d like to dedicate this newsletter to you and offer up some ―persPECtives awards‖.

Throw in fun props and customize the

film strips with your logo and you

have an instant hit with our photog-

raphy star, Atomic Photo Booths!

ally knows how to get the party started and

Rock-n-Roll the night away.

around time and for a reasonable price. Our

favorite team to work with is Kotis Design!

we just couldn't do a proper costume

job without A MASQUERADE!

Always at the top of our list—From

casual to clubbing to Avant Garde—

the makeup artists from Jilladair Cos-

metics are the very best in town!

Our top pick of the year goes to the

best kept secret in Seattle, the

Cirque Event Center. Their space is

perfect for any gathering from 100

chocolate but give us gourmet choco-

late, add in chocolate tastings for events

and you have our top pick for best in

sweets—Sweet Decadence!

We get the privilege of hearing some great

bands over the course of a year but our fa-

vorite for 2010 was a Rockabilly Band—Juke

Joint Gamblers. They sound amazing!

Our vote for the best discovery we made

this year is for the O24U Oxygen Bar that

can be literally set up anywhere making it a

fun, healthy entertainment option.

2. Ordered—Simplistic and bold geometrical colors and patterns like stripes and polka

schemes.

3. Escape—Whimsy, magical, and fairytale-esque. Creating the idea of escaping reality

through environment.

anything tribal will go. Rich oranges, berries, textured browns, bronze, and beading.

Our favorite theme for this year was

a Rockabilly event. Lots of roaming

entertainers, hula hoop dancers, fan-

tastic food and a ―moonshine‖ signa-

the event!

MOST VALUABLE PLAYER

Every year we keep our eyes, and ears open

for the vendor who has provided the best

overall service. This year the MVP award

goes to a vendor that isn’t afraid to step out

of their specific arena and help us in any way

they can. They will help other vendors set

up, they will stay and help us clean up what-

ever needs to be cleaned so we can all go

home after an event. This vendor will work

with us no matter how difficult or outland-

ish a request. The vendor with THE BEST

CAN DO ATTITUDE is the crew at ALL

AMERICAN BAR & CATERING.

*Greg—you and the fabulous crew that

works for you are always the quickest to

respond to our requests, the easiest to work

with and offer the highest level of customer

service! WE LOVE YOU! Thank you for all

you do for us!

January is a great time to look ahead and determine the kinds of events that

you want to do. There are so many different kinds of events; everything

from meetings to social gatherings that deciding what to do can be over-

whelming. Determining if you have the right budget for the events you want

to do can be just as daunting. PEC can assist you with the entire planning

process. We can discuss different types of events that could meet your core

objectives and help you determine a reasonable budget to meet those objec-

tives. PEC planners specialize in helping companies create a yearly event plan

to maximize their budget and impact, no matter how many events you do.

MOST VALUABLE PLAYER

Every year we keep our eyes, and ears open

for the vendor who has provided the best

overall service. This year the MVP award

goes to a vendor that isn’t afraid to step out

of their specific arena and help us in any way

they can. They will help other vendors set

up, they will stay and help us clean up what-

ever needs to be cleaned so we can all go

home after an event. This vendor will work

with us no matter how difficult or outland-

ish a request. The vendor with THE BEST

CAN DO ATTITUDE is the crew at ALL

AMERICAN BAR & CATERING.

*Greg—you and the fabulous crew that

works for you are always the quickest to

respond to our requests, the easiest to work

with and offer the highest level of customer

service! WE LOVE YOU! Thank you for all

you do for us!

January is a great time to look ahead and determine the kinds of events that

you want to do. There are so many different kinds of events; everything

from meetings to social gatherings that deciding what to do can be over-

whelming. Determining if you have the right budget for the events you want

to do can be just as daunting. PEC can assist you with the entire planning

process. We can discuss different types of events that could meet your core

to maximize their budget and impact, no matter how many events you do.

Now is not the time to cut back on investing in your employees. With the economic impact

that businesses are facing it is even more important than ever for businesses to invest

in their employees and show them how much they are truly appreciated. Due to our relation-

ship with hundreds of vendors we can offer you the E-Ventive Package. Some of our best

vendors are willing to give us a commission for bringing them business in this stressful eco-

nomic time. By discounting our planning fees, the commission would pay the planning fees

and you still get all the benefits of having an experienced event planner on your team. We

guarantee that the vendors we use will be some of the best in their fields so we wouldn't be

sacrificing quality for price. This is one of the advantages we have that comes from working

with hundreds of vendors throughout the year and we are excited to get to pass this ad-

vantage off to you. Before cancelling that event, contact your PEC planner for ideas that will

work with your budget and your teams needs.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Welcome 2011 and may it be a successful, prosperous new year for all!

PEC is really looking forward with anticipation to all the unique, fun and fabulous ideas and events that

will come our way throughout the year. It’s time to explore the hottest new trends, the hot & hap-

pening venues, and the most amazing vendors. It’s the time to be on the lookout for any new and ex-

citing items that can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. At Premier this time of year is

very inspiring for us. We are excited about all the possibilities and know all of you will be too. This is

also the time of year when we reflect back on those people we have worked with over the course of

the last year and offer our sincerest gratitude for such an amazing group of people to work with.

We’d like to dedicate this newsletter to you and offer up some ―persPECtives awards‖.

Now is not the time to cut back on investing in your employees. With the economic impact

that businesses are facing it is even more important than ever for businesses to invest

in their employees and show them how much they are truly appreciated. Due to our relation-

ship with hundreds of vendors we can offer you the E-Ventive Package. Some of our best

vendors are willing to give us a commission for bringing them business in this stressful eco-

nomic time. By discounting our planning fees, the commission would pay the planning fees

and you still get all the benefits of having an experienced event planner on your team. We

guarantee that the vendors we use will be some of the best in their fields so we wouldn't be

sacrificing quality for price. This is one of the advantages we have that comes from working

with hundreds of vendors throughout the year and we are excited to get to pass this ad-

vantage off to you. Before cancelling that event, contact your PEC planner for ideas that will

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Welcome 2011 and may it be a successful, prosperous new year for all!

PEC is really looking forward with anticipation to all the unique, fun and fabulous ideas and events that

will come our way throughout the year. It’s time to explore the hottest new trends, the hot & hap-

pening venues, and the most amazing vendors. It’s the time to be on the lookout for any new and ex-

citing items that can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. At Premier this time of year is

very inspiring for us. We are excited about all the possibilities and know all of you will be too. This is

also the time of year when we reflect back on those people we have worked with over the course of

the last year and offer our sincerest gratitude for such an amazing group of people to work with.

We’d like to dedicate this newsletter to you and offer up some ―persPECtives awards‖.

Throw in fun props and customize the

film strips with your logo and you

have an instant hit with our photog-

raphy star, Atomic Photo Booths!

ally knows how to get the party started and

Rock-n-Roll the night away.

We know just who to turn to for graphics

design work that is done right in a quick turn

around time and for a reasonable price. Our

favorite team to work with is Kotis Design!

There are so many facets to the audio

visual industry that it is hard to know

what is best in a situation. Thank

goodness for our top pick—the guys

from AVpro!

BEST in GRAPHICS

Everyone knows the outfit makes the

character come alive and in this case

we just couldn't do a proper costume

job without A MASQUERADE!

Always at the top of our list—From

casual to clubbing to Avant Garde—

the makeup artists from Jilladair Cos-

metics are the very best in town!

Our top pick of the year goes to the

best kept secret in Seattle, the

Cirque Event Center. Their space is

perfect for any gathering from 100

to 1000 guests. We absolutely love

its versatility and know you will too!

With their comprehensive products,

Coast Event Productions stands head

and shoulders above the competition

in our books.

BEST in MAKEUP BEST in COSTUME

Color makes the world go round and

we love how easy Kuler theme’s

make our job for planning color in-

fused events!

Okay, so we are a sucker for a piece of

chocolate but give us gourmet choco-

late, add in chocolate tastings for events

and you have our top pick for best in

sweets—Sweet Decadence!

We get the privilege of hearing some great

bands over the course of a year but our fa-

vorite for 2010 was a Rockabilly Band—Juke

Joint Gamblers. They sound amazing!

Our vote for the best discovery we made

this year is for the O24U Oxygen Bar that

can be literally set up anywhere making it a

fun, healthy entertainment option.

Now is not the time to cut back on investing in your employees. With the economic impact

that businesses are facing it is even more important than ever for businesses to invest

in their employees and show them how much they are truly appreciated. Due to our relation-

ship with hundreds of vendors we can offer you the E-Ventive Package. Some of our best

vendors are willing to give us a commission for bringing them business in this stressful eco-

nomic time. By discounting our planning fees, the commission would pay the planning fees

and you still get all the benefits of having an experienced event planner on your team. We

guarantee that the vendors we use will be some of the best in their fields so we wouldn't be

sacrificing quality for price. This is one of the advantages we have that comes from working

with hundreds of vendors throughout the year and we are excited to get to pass this ad-

vantage off to you. Before cancelling that event, contact your PEC planner for ideas that will

work with your budget and your teams needs.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Welcome 2011 and may it be a successful, prosperous new year for all!

PEC is really looking forward with anticipation to all the unique, fun and fabulous ideas and events that

will come our way throughout the year. It’s time to explore the hottest new trends, the hot & hap-

pening venues, and the most amazing vendors. It’s the time to be on the lookout for any new and ex-

citing items that can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. At Premier this time of year is

very inspiring for us. We are excited about all the possibilities and know all of you will be too. This is

also the time of year when we reflect back on those people we have worked with over the course of

the last year and offer our sincerest gratitude for such an amazing group of people to work with.

We’d like to dedicate this newsletter to you and offer up some ―persPECtives awards‖.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Welcome 2011 and may it be a successful, prosperous new year for all!

PEC is really looking forward with anticipation to all the unique, fun and fabulous ideas and events that

will come our way throughout the year. It’s time to explore the hottest new trends, the hot & hap-

pening venues, and the most amazing vendors. It’s the time to be on the lookout for any new and ex-

citing items that can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. At Premier this time of year is

very inspiring for us. We are excited about all the possibilities and know all of you will be too. This is

also the time of year when we reflect back on those people we have worked with over the course of

the last year and offer our sincerest gratitude for such an amazing group of people to work with.

We’d like to dedicate this newsletter to you and offer up some ―persPECtives awards‖.

Throw in fun props and customize the

film strips with your logo and you

have an instant hit with our photog-

raphy star, Atomic Photo Booths!

BEST PICTURE BEST in SOUND MIXING

Our vote for sound mixing goes to the

one...the only….DJ AutoMATTic! Matt re-

ally knows how to get the party started and

Rock-n-Roll the night away.

We know just who to turn to for graphics

design work that is done right in a quick turn

around time and for a reasonable price. Our

favorite team to work with is Kotis Design!

BEST in VISUAL EFFECTS

There are so many facets to the audio

visual industry that it is hard to know

what is best in a situation. Thank

goodness for our top pick—the guys

from AVpro!

BEST in GRAPHICS

Everyone knows the outfit makes the

character come alive and in this case

we just couldn't do a proper costume

job without A MASQUERADE!

Always at the top of our list—From

casual to clubbing to Avant Garde—

the makeup artists from Jilladair Cos-

metics are the very best in town!

Our top pick of the year goes to the

best kept secret in Seattle, the

Cirque Event Center. Their space is

perfect for any gathering from 100

to 1000 guests. We absolutely love

its versatility and know you will too!

With their comprehensive products,

creative design services and broad

range of technical expertise West

Coast Event Productions stands head

and shoulders above the competition

in our books.

BEST in MAKEUP BEST in COSTUME

BEST in LOCATION BEST in PRODUCTION

Color makes the world go round and

we love how easy Kuler theme’s

make our job for planning color in-

fused events!

Okay, so we are a sucker for a piece of

chocolate but give us gourmet choco-

late, add in chocolate tastings for events

and you have our top pick for best in

sweets—Sweet Decadence!

We get the privilege of hearing some great

bands over the course of a year but our fa-

vorite for 2010 was a Rockabilly Band—Juke

Joint Gamblers. They sound amazing!

Our vote for the best discovery we made

this year is for the O24U Oxygen Bar that

can be literally set up anywhere making it a

fun, healthy entertainment option.

MOST VALUABLE PLAYER

Every year we keep our eyes, and ears open

for the vendor who has provided the best

overall service. This year the MVP award

goes to a vendor that isn’t afraid to step out

of their specific arena and help us in any way

they can. They will help other vendors set

up, they will stay and help us clean up what-

ever needs to be cleaned so we can all go

home after an event. This vendor will work

with us no matter how difficult or outland-

ish a request. The vendor with THE BEST

CAN DO ATTITUDE is the crew at ALL

works for you are always the quickest to

January is a great time to look ahead and determine the kinds of events that

you want to do. There are so many different kinds of events; everything

from meetings to social gatherings that deciding what to do can be over-

whelming. Determining if you have the right budget for the events you want

to do can be just as daunting. PEC can assist you with the entire planning

process. We can discuss different types of events that could meet your core

objectives and help you determine a reasonable budget to meet those objec-

tives. PEC planners specialize in helping companies create a yearly event plan

to maximize their budget and impact, no matter how many events you do.

Now is not the time to cut back on investing in your employees. With the economic impact

that businesses are facing it is even more important than ever for businesses to invest

in their employees and show them how much they are truly appreciated. Due to our relation-

ship with hundreds of vendors we can offer you the E-Ventive Package. Some of our best

vendors are willing to give us a commission for bringing them business in this stressful eco-

nomic time. By discounting our planning fees, the commission would pay the planning fees

and you still get all the benefits of having an experienced event planner on your team. We

guarantee that the vendors we use will be some of the best in their fields so we wouldn't be

sacrificing quality for price. This is one of the advantages we have that comes from working

with hundreds of vendors throughout the year and we are excited to get to pass this ad-

Now is not the time to cut back on investing in your employees. With the economic impact

that businesses are facing it is even more important than ever for businesses to invest

in their employees and show them how much they are truly appreciated. Due to our relation-

ship with hundreds of vendors we can offer you the E-Ventive Package. Some of our best

vendors are willing to give us a commission for bringing them business in this stressful eco-

nomic time. By discounting our planning fees, the commission would pay the planning fees

and you still get all the benefits of having an experienced event planner on your team. We

guarantee that the vendors we use will be some of the best in their fields so we wouldn't be

sacrificing quality for price. This is one of the advantages we have that comes from working

with hundreds of vendors throughout the year and we are excited to get to pass this ad-

vantage off to you. Before cancelling that event, contact your PEC planner for ideas that will

work with your budget and your teams needs.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Welcome 2011 and may it be a successful, prosperous new year for all!

PEC is really looking forward with anticipation to all the unique, fun and fabulous ideas and events that

will come our way throughout the year. It’s time to explore the hottest new trends, the hot & hap-

pening venues, and the most amazing vendors. It’s the time to be on the lookout for any new and ex-

citing items that can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. At Premier this time of year is

very inspiring for us. We are excited about all the possibilities and know all of you will be too. This is

also the time of year when we reflect back on those people we have worked with over the course of

the last year and offer our sincerest gratitude for such an amazing group of people to work with.

We’d like to dedicate this newsletter to you and offer up some ―persPECtives awards‖.

Throw in fun props and customize the

film strips with your logo and you

have an instant hit with our photog-

raphy star, Atomic Photo Booths!

ally knows how to get the party started and

Rock-n-Roll the night away.

design work that is done right in a quick turn

around time and for a reasonable price. Our

favorite team to work with is Kotis Design!

we just couldn't do a proper costume

job without A MASQUERADE!

Always at the top of our list—From

casual to clubbing to Avant Garde—

the makeup artists from Jilladair Cos-

metics are the very best in town!

Our top pick of the year goes to the

best kept secret in Seattle, the

Cirque Event Center. Their space is

perfect for any gathering from 100

chocolate but give us gourmet choco-

late, add in chocolate tastings for events

and you have our top pick for best in

sweets—Sweet Decadence!

We get the privilege of hearing some great

bands over the course of a year but our fa-

vorite for 2010 was a Rockabilly Band—Juke

Joint Gamblers. They sound amazing!

Our vote for the best discovery we made

this year is for the O24U Oxygen Bar that

can be literally set up anywhere making it a

fun, healthy entertainment option.

1. Farm inspired —Rich deep browns, bright vegetable colors and anything wood,

burlap or twine. Rustic centerpieces are all the rage!

2. Ordered—Simplistic and bold geometrical colors and patterns like stripes and polka

dots, think black and white with pops of color, and even monochromatic color

schemes.

3. Escape—Whimsy, magical, and fairytale-esque. Creating the idea of escaping reality

through environment.

4. Tribal—Yes you guessed it! from Africa to Australia and anywhere in between,

anything tribal will go. Rich oranges, berries, textured browns, bronze, and beading.

When you want to make a statement

with flowers there isn’t a better place

to go than Ravenna Bloom. Her flow-

and classy for any occasion.

Our favorite theme for this year was

a Rockabilly event. Lots of roaming

entertainers, hula hoop dancers, fan-

tastic food and a ―moonshine‖ signa-

ture drink in mason jars. It was quite

the event!

MOST VALUABLE PLAYER

Every year we keep our eyes, and ears open

for the vendor who has provided the best

overall service. This year the MVP award

goes to a vendor that isn’t afraid to step out

of their specific arena and help us in any way

they can. They will help other vendors set

up, they will stay and help us clean up what-

ever needs to be cleaned so we can all go

home after an event. This vendor will work

with us no matter how difficult or outland-

ish a request. The vendor with THE BEST

CAN DO ATTITUDE is the crew at ALL

AMERICAN BAR & CATERING.

*Greg—you and the fabulous crew that

works for you are always the quickest to

respond to our requests, the easiest to work

with and offer the highest level of customer

service! WE LOVE YOU! Thank you for all

you do for us!

Every year we keep our eyes, and ears open

goes to a vendor that isn’t afraid to step out

of their specific arena and help us in any way

they can. They will help other vendors set

up, they will stay and help us clean up what-

ever needs to be cleaned so we can all go

home after an event. This vendor will work

with us no matter how difficult or outland-

ish a request. The vendor with THE BEST

January is a great time to look ahead and determine the kinds of events that

to do can be just as daunting. PEC can assist you with the entire planning

Now is not the time to cut back on investing in your employees. With the economic impact

that businesses are facing it is even more important than ever for businesses to invest

in their employees and show them how much they are truly appreciated. Due to our relation-

ship with hundreds of vendors we can offer you the E-Ventive Package. Some of our best

vendors are willing to give us a commission for bringing them business in this stressful eco-

nomic time. By discounting our planning fees, the commission would pay the planning fees

and you still get all the benefits of having an experienced event planner on your team. We

guarantee that the vendors we use will be some of the best in their fields so we wouldn't be

sacrificing quality for price. This is one of the advantages we have that comes from working

with hundreds of vendors throughout the year and we are excited to get to pass this ad-

vantage off to you. Before cancelling that event, contact your PEC planner for ideas that will

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Welcome 2011 and may it be a successful, prosperous new year for all!

PEC is really looking forward with anticipation to all the unique, fun and fabulous ideas and events that

will come our way throughout the year. It’s time to explore the hottest new trends, the hot & hap-

pening venues, and the most amazing vendors. It’s the time to be on the lookout for any new and ex-

citing items that can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. At Premier this time of year is

very inspiring for us. We are excited about all the possibilities and know all of you will be too. This is

also the time of year when we reflect back on those people we have worked with over the course of

the last year and offer our sincerest gratitude for such an amazing group of people to work with.

We’d like to dedicate this newsletter to you and offer up some ―persPECtives awards‖.

Now is not the time to cut back on investing in your employees. With the economic impact

that businesses are facing it is even more important than ever for businesses to invest

in their employees and show them how much they are truly appreciated. Due to our relation-

ship with hundreds of vendors we can offer you the E-Ventive Package. Some of our best

vendors are willing to give us a commission for bringing them business in this stressful eco-

nomic time. By discounting our planning fees, the commission would pay the planning fees

and you still get all the benefits of having an experienced event planner on your team. We

guarantee that the vendors we use will be some of the best in their fields so we wouldn't be

sacrificing quality for price. This is one of the advantages we have that comes from working

with hundreds of vendors throughout the year and we are excited to get to pass this ad-

vantage off to you. Before cancelling that event, contact your PEC planner for ideas that will

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Welcome 2011 and may it be a successful, prosperous new year for all!

PEC is really looking forward with anticipation to all the unique, fun and fabulous ideas and events that

will come our way throughout the year. It’s time to explore the hottest new trends, the hot & hap-

pening venues, and the most amazing vendors. It’s the time to be on the lookout for any new and ex-

citing items that can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. At Premier this time of year is

very inspiring for us. We are excited about all the possibilities and know all of you will be too. This is

also the time of year when we reflect back on those people we have worked with over the course of

the last year and offer our sincerest gratitude for such an amazing group of people to work with.

We’d like to dedicate this newsletter to you and offer up some ―persPECtives awards‖.

Throw in fun props and customize the

film strips with your logo and you

have an instant hit with our photog-

raphy star, Atomic Photo Booths!

BEST PICTURE BEST in SOUND MIXING

Our vote for sound mixing goes to the

one...the only….DJ AutoMATTic! Matt re-

ally knows how to get the party started and

Rock-n-Roll the night away.

We know just who to turn to for graphics

design work that is done right in a quick turn

around time and for a reasonable price. Our

favorite team to work with is Kotis Design!

BEST in VISUAL EFFECTS

There are so many facets to the audio

visual industry that it is hard to know

what is best in a situation. Thank

goodness for our top pick—the guys

from AVpro!

BEST in GRAPHICS

Everyone knows the outfit makes the

character come alive and in this case

we just couldn't do a proper costume

job without A MASQUERADE!

Always at the top of our list—From

casual to clubbing to Avant Garde—

the makeup artists from Jilladair Cos-

metics are the very best in town!

Our top pick of the year goes to the

best kept secret in Seattle, the

Cirque Event Center. Their space is

perfect for any gathering from 100

to 1000 guests. We absolutely love

its versatility and know you will too!

With their comprehensive products,

creative design services and broad

range of technical expertise West

Coast Event Productions stands head

and shoulders above the competition

in our books.

BEST in MAKEUP BEST in COSTUME

BEST in LOCATION BEST in PRODUCTION

Color makes the world go round and

we love how easy Kuler theme’s

make our job for planning color in-

fused events!

Okay, so we are a sucker for a piece of

chocolate but give us gourmet choco-

late, add in chocolate tastings for events

and you have our top pick for best in

sweets—Sweet Decadence!

We get the privilege of hearing some great

bands over the course of a year but our fa-

vorite for 2010 was a Rockabilly Band—Juke

Joint Gamblers. They sound amazing!

Our vote for the best discovery we made

this year is for the O24U Oxygen Bar that

can be literally set up anywhere making it a

fun, healthy entertainment option.

Now is not the time to cut back on investing in your employees. With the economic impact

that businesses are facing it is even more important than ever for businesses to invest

in their employees and show them how much they are truly appreciated. Due to our relation-

ship with hundreds of vendors we can offer you the E-Ventive Package. Some of our best

vendors are willing to give us a commission for bringing them business in this stressful eco-

nomic time. By discounting our planning fees, the commission would pay the planning fees

and you still get all the benefits of having an experienced event planner on your team. We

guarantee that the vendors we use will be some of the best in their fields so we wouldn't be

sacrificing quality for price. This is one of the advantages we have that comes from working

with hundreds of vendors throughout the year and we are excited to get to pass this ad-

vantage off to you. Before cancelling that event, contact your PEC planner for ideas that will

work with your budget and your teams needs.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Welcome 2011 and may it be a successful, prosperous new year for all!

PEC is really looking forward with anticipation to all the unique, fun and fabulous ideas and events that

will come our way throughout the year. It’s time to explore the hottest new trends, the hot & hap-

pening venues, and the most amazing vendors. It’s the time to be on the lookout for any new and ex-

citing items that can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. At Premier this time of year is

very inspiring for us. We are excited about all the possibilities and know all of you will be too. This is

also the time of year when we reflect back on those people we have worked with over the course of

the last year and offer our sincerest gratitude for such an amazing group of people to work with.

We’d like to dedicate this newsletter to you and offer up some ―persPECtives awards‖.

Now is not the time to cut back on investing in your employees. With the economic impact

that businesses are facing it is even more important than ever for businesses to invest

in their employees and show them how much they are truly appreciated. Due to our relation-

ship with hundreds of vendors we can offer you the E-Ventive Package. Some of our best

vendors are willing to give us a commission for bringing them business in this stressful eco-

nomic time. By discounting our planning fees, the commission would pay the planning fees

and you still get all the benefits of having an experienced event planner on your team. We

guarantee that the vendors we use will be some of the best in their fields so we wouldn't be

sacrificing quality for price. This is one of the advantages we have that comes from working

with hundreds of vendors throughout the year and we are excited to get to pass this ad-

vantage off to you. Before cancelling that event, contact your PEC planner for ideas that will

work with your budget and your teams needs.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Welcome 2011 and may it be a successful, prosperous new year for all!

PEC is really looking forward with anticipation to all the unique, fun and fabulous ideas and events that

will come our way throughout the year. It’s time to explore the hottest new trends, the hot & hap-

pening venues, and the most amazing vendors. It’s the time to be on the lookout for any new and ex-

citing items that can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. At Premier this time of year is

very inspiring for us. We are excited about all the possibilities and know all of you will be too. This is

also the time of year when we reflect back on those people we have worked with over the course of

the last year and offer our sincerest gratitude for such an amazing group of people to work with.

We’d like to dedicate this newsletter to you and offer up some ―persPECtives awards‖.

Throw in fun props and customize the

film strips with your logo and you

have an instant hit with our photog-

raphy star, Atomic Photo Booths!

metics are the very best in town!

bands over the course of a year but our fa-

vorite for 2010 was a Rockabilly Band—Juke

Joint Gamblers. They sound amazing!

Our vote for the best discovery we made

this year is for the O24U Oxygen Bar that

can be literally set up anywhere making it a

schemes.

MOST VALUABLE PLAYER

Every year we keep our eyes, and ears open

for the vendor who has provided the best

overall service. This year the MVP award

goes to a vendor that isn’t afraid to step out

of their specific arena and help us in any way

they can. They will help other vendors set

up, they will stay and help us clean up what-

ever needs to be cleaned so we can all go

home after an event. This vendor will work

with us no matter how difficult or outland-

ish a request. The vendor with THE BEST

CAN DO ATTITUDE is the crew at ALL

AMERICAN BAR & CATERING.

works for you are always the quickest to

respond to our requests, the easiest to work

with and offer the highest level of customer

service! WE LOVE YOU! Thank you for all

January is a great time to look ahead and determine the kinds of events that

you want to do. There are so many different kinds of events; everything

from meetings to social gatherings that deciding what to do can be over-

whelming. Determining if you have the right budget for the events you want

to do can be just as daunting. PEC can assist you with the entire planning

process. We can discuss different types of events that could meet your core

objectives and help you determine a reasonable budget to meet those objec-

tives. PEC planners specialize in helping companies create a yearly event plan

to maximize their budget and impact, no matter how many events you do.

January is a great time to look ahead and determine the kinds of events that

you want to do. There are so many different kinds of events; everything

from meetings to social gatherings that deciding what to do can be over-

whelming. Determining if you have the right budget for the events you want

to do can be just as daunting. PEC can assist you with the entire planning

process. We can discuss different types of events that could meet your core

objectives and help you determine a reasonable budget to meet those objec-

tives. PEC planners specialize in helping companies create a yearly event plan

to maximize their budget and impact, no matter how many events you do.

Now is not the time to cut back on investing in your employees. With the economic impact

that businesses are facing it is even more important than ever for businesses to invest

in their employees and show them how much they are truly appreciated. Due to our relation-

ship with hundreds of vendors we can offer you the E-Ventive Package. Some of our best

vendors are willing to give us a commission for bringing them business in this stressful eco-

nomic time. By discounting our planning fees, the commission would pay the planning fees

and you still get all the benefits of having an experienced event planner on your team. We

guarantee that the vendors we use will be some of the best in their fields so we wouldn't be

sacrificing quality for price. This is one of the advantages we have that comes from working

with hundreds of vendors throughout the year and we are excited to get to pass this ad-

vantage off to you. Before cancelling that event, contact your PEC planner for ideas that will

work with your budget and your teams needs.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Welcome 2011 and may it be a successful, prosperous new year for all!

PEC is really looking forward with anticipation to all the unique, fun and fabulous ideas and events that

will come our way throughout the year. It’s time to explore the hottest new trends, the hot & hap-

pening venues, and the most amazing vendors. It’s the time to be on the lookout for any new and ex-

citing items that can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. At Premier this time of year is

very inspiring for us. We are excited about all the possibilities and know all of you will be too. This is

also the time of year when we reflect back on those people we have worked with over the course of

the last year and offer our sincerest gratitude for such an amazing group of people to work with.

We’d like to dedicate this newsletter to you and offer up some ―persPECtives awards‖.

Throw in fun props and customize the

film strips with your logo and you

have an instant hit with our photog-

raphy star, Atomic Photo Booths!

Always at the top of our list—From

the makeup artists from Jilladair Cos-

metics are the very best in town!

Our top pick of the year goes to the

vorite for 2010 was a Rockabilly Band—Juke

Joint Gamblers. They sound amazing!

Our vote for the best discovery we made

this year is for the O24U Oxygen Bar that

can be literally set up anywhere making it a

goes to a vendor that isn’t afraid to step out

they can. They will help other vendors set

up, they will stay and help us clean up what-

ever needs to be cleaned so we can all go

home after an event. This vendor will work

with us no matter how difficult or outland-

Now is not the time to cut back on investing in your employees. With the economic impact

that businesses are facing it is even more important than ever for businesses to invest

in their employees and show them how much they are truly appreciated. Due to our relation-

ship with hundreds of vendors we can offer you the E-Ventive Package. Some of our best

vendors are willing to give us a commission for bringing them business in this stressful eco-

nomic time. By discounting our planning fees, the commission would pay the planning fees

and you still get all the benefits of having an experienced event planner on your team. We

guarantee that the vendors we use will be some of the best in their fields so we wouldn't be

sacrificing quality for price. This is one of the advantages we have that comes from working

with hundreds of vendors throughout the year and we are excited to get to pass this ad-

vantage off to you. Before cancelling that event, contact your PEC planner for ideas that will

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Welcome 2011 and may it be a successful, prosperous new year for all!

PEC is really looking forward with anticipation to all the unique, fun and fabulous ideas and events that

will come our way throughout the year. It’s time to explore the hottest new trends, the hot & hap-

pening venues, and the most amazing vendors. It’s the time to be on the lookout for any new and ex-

citing items that can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. At Premier this time of year is

very inspiring for us. We are excited about all the possibilities and know all of you will be too. This is

also the time of year when we reflect back on those people we have worked with over the course of

the last year and offer our sincerest gratitude for such an amazing group of people to work with.

We’d like to dedicate this newsletter to you and offer up some ―persPECtives awards‖.

Throw in fun props and customize the

film strips with your logo and you

have an instant hit with our photog-

raphy star, Atomic Photo Booths!

we just couldn't do a proper costume

job without A MASQUERADE!

Always at the top of our list—From

the makeup artists from Jilladair Cos-

metics are the very best in town!

Our top pick of the year goes to the

best kept secret in Seattle, the

We get the privilege of hearing some great

bands over the course of a year but our fa-

vorite for 2010 was a Rockabilly Band—Juke

Joint Gamblers. They sound amazing!

Our vote for the best discovery we made

this year is for the O24U Oxygen Bar that

can be literally set up anywhere making it a

fun, healthy entertainment option.

Now is not the time to cut back on investing in your employees. With the economic impact

that businesses are facing it is even more important than ever for businesses to invest

in their employees and show them how much they are truly appreciated. Due to our relation-

ship with hundreds of vendors we can offer you the E-Ventive Package. Some of our best

vendors are willing to give us a commission for bringing them business in this stressful eco-

nomic time. By discounting our planning fees, the commission would pay the planning fees

and you still get all the benefits of having an experienced event planner on your team. We

guarantee that the vendors we use will be some of the best in their fields so we wouldn't be

sacrificing quality for price. This is one of the advantages we have that comes from working

with hundreds of vendors throughout the year and we are excited to get to pass this ad-

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Welcome 2011 and may it be a successful, prosperous new year for all!

PEC is really looking forward with anticipation to all the unique, fun and fabulous ideas and events that

will come our way throughout the year. It’s time to explore the hottest new trends, the hot & hap-

pening venues, and the most amazing vendors. It’s the time to be on the lookout for any new and ex-

citing items that can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. At Premier this time of year is

very inspiring for us. We are excited about all the possibilities and know all of you will be too. This is

also the time of year when we reflect back on those people we have worked with over the course of

the last year and offer our sincerest gratitude for such an amazing group of people to work with.

We’d like to dedicate this newsletter to you and offer up some ―persPECtives awards‖.

Throw in fun props and customize the

film strips with your logo and you

have an instant hit with our photog-

raphy star, Atomic Photo Booths!

ally knows how to get the party started and

Rock-n-Roll the night away.

We know just who to turn to for graphics

design work that is done right in a quick turn

around time and for a reasonable price. Our

favorite team to work with is Kotis Design!

goodness for our top pick—the guys

from AVpro!

Everyone knows the outfit makes the

character come alive and in this case

we just couldn't do a proper costume

job without A MASQUERADE!

Always at the top of our list—From

the makeup artists from Jilladair Cos-

metics are the very best in town!

Our top pick of the year goes to the

best kept secret in Seattle, the

Now is not the time to cut back on investing in your employees. With the economic impact

that businesses are facing it is even more important than ever for businesses to invest

in their employees and show them how much they are truly appreciated. Due to our relation-

ship with hundreds of vendors we can offer you the E-Ventive Package. Some of our best

vendors are willing to give us a commission for bringing them business in this stressful eco-

nomic time. By discounting our planning fees, the commission would pay the planning fees

and you still get all the benefits of having an experienced event planner on your team. We

guarantee that the vendors we use will be some of the best in their fields so we wouldn't be

sacrificing quality for price. This is one of the advantages we have that comes from working

with hundreds of vendors throughout the year and we are excited to get to pass this ad-

vantage off to you. Before cancelling that event, contact your PEC planner for ideas that will

work with your budget and your teams needs.

Now is not the time to cut back on investing in your employees. With the economic impact

that businesses are facing it is even more important than ever for businesses to invest

in their employees and show them how much they are truly appreciated. Due to our relation-

ship with hundreds of vendors we can offer you the E-Ventive Package. Some of our best

vendors are willing to give us a commission for bringing them business in this stressful eco-

nomic time. By discounting our planning fees, the commission would pay the planning fees

and you still get all the benefits of having an experienced event planner on your team. We

guarantee that the vendors we use will be some of the best in their fields so we wouldn't be

sacrificing quality for price. This is one of the advantages we have that comes from working

with hundreds of vendors throughout the year and we are excited to get to pass this ad-

vantage off to you. Before cancelling that event, contact your PEC planner for ideas that will

work with your budget and your teams needs.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Welcome 2011 and may it be a successful, prosperous new year for all!

PEC is really looking forward with anticipation to all the unique, fun and fabulous ideas and events that

will come our way throughout the year. It’s time to explore the hottest new trends, the hot & hap-

pening venues, and the most amazing vendors. It’s the time to be on the lookout for any new and ex-

citing items that can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. At Premier this time of year is

very inspiring for us. We are excited about all the possibilities and know all of you will be too. This is

also the time of year when we reflect back on those people we have worked with over the course of

the last year and offer our sincerest gratitude for such an amazing group of people to work with.

We’d like to dedicate this newsletter to you and offer up some ―persPECtives awards‖.

Throw in fun props and customize the

film strips with your logo and you

have an instant hit with our photog-

raphy star, Atomic Photo Booths!

ally knows how to get the party started and

Rock-n-Roll the night away.

We know just who to turn to for graphics

design work that is done right in a quick turn

around time and for a reasonable price. Our

favorite team to work with is Kotis Design!

visual industry that it is hard to know

what is best in a situation. Thank

goodness for our top pick—the guys

from AVpro!

BEST in GRAPHICS

we just couldn't do a proper costume

job without A MASQUERADE!

Always at the top of our list—From

casual to clubbing to Avant Garde—

the makeup artists from Jilladair Cos-

metics are the very best in town!

Our top pick of the year goes to the

best kept secret in Seattle, the

Cirque Event Center. Their space is

perfect for any gathering from 100

in our books.

BEST in MAKEUP BEST in COSTUME

fused events!

Okay, so we are a sucker for a piece of

chocolate but give us gourmet choco-

late, add in chocolate tastings for events

and you have our top pick for best in

sweets—Sweet Decadence!

We get the privilege of hearing some great

bands over the course of a year but our fa-

vorite for 2010 was a Rockabilly Band—Juke

Joint Gamblers. They sound amazing!

Our vote for the best discovery we made

this year is for the O24U Oxygen Bar that

can be literally set up anywhere making it a

fun, healthy entertainment option.

burlap or twine. Rustic centerpieces are all the rage!

2. Ordered—Simplistic and bold geometrical colors and patterns like stripes and polka

schemes.

3. Escape—Whimsy, magical, and fairytale-esque. Creating the idea of escaping reality

through environment.

anything tribal will go. Rich oranges, berries, textured browns, bronze, and beading.

When you want to make a statement

Our favorite theme for this year was

a Rockabilly event. Lots of roaming

entertainers, hula hoop dancers, fan-

tastic food and a ―moonshine‖ signa-

ture drink in mason jars. It was quite

the event!

MOST VALUABLE PLAYER

Every year we keep our eyes, and ears open

for the vendor who has provided the best

overall service. This year the MVP award

goes to a vendor that isn’t afraid to step out

of their specific arena and help us in any way

they can. They will help other vendors set

up, they will stay and help us clean up what-

ever needs to be cleaned so we can all go

home after an event. This vendor will work

with us no matter how difficult or outland-

ish a request. The vendor with THE BEST

CAN DO ATTITUDE is the crew at ALL

AMERICAN BAR & CATERING.

*Greg—you and the fabulous crew that

works for you are always the quickest to

respond to our requests, the easiest to work

with and offer the highest level of customer

service! WE LOVE YOU! Thank you for all

you do for us!

January is a great time to look ahead and determine the kinds of events that

you want to do. There are so many different kinds of events; everything

from meetings to social gatherings that deciding what to do can be over-

whelming. Determining if you have the right budget for the events you want

to do can be just as daunting. PEC can assist you with the entire planning

process. We can discuss different types of events that could meet your core

objectives and help you determine a reasonable budget to meet those objec-

tives. PEC planners specialize in helping companies create a yearly event plan

to maximize their budget and impact, no matter how many events you do.

MOST VALUABLE PLAYER

Every year we keep our eyes, and ears open

for the vendor who has provided the best

overall service. This year the MVP award

goes to a vendor that isn’t afraid to step out

of their specific arena and help us in any way

they can. They will help other vendors set

up, they will stay and help us clean up what-

ever needs to be cleaned so we can all go

home after an event. This vendor will work

with us no matter how difficult or outland-

ish a request. The vendor with THE BEST

CAN DO ATTITUDE is the crew at ALL

AMERICAN BAR & CATERING.

*Greg—you and the fabulous crew that

works for you are always the quickest to

respond to our requests, the easiest to work

with and offer the highest level of customer

service! WE LOVE YOU! Thank you for all

you do for us!

January is a great time to look ahead and determine the kinds of events that

you want to do. There are so many different kinds of events; everything

from meetings to social gatherings that deciding what to do can be over-

whelming. Determining if you have the right budget for the events you want

to do can be just as daunting. PEC can assist you with the entire planning

process. We can discuss different types of events that could meet your core

to maximize their budget and impact, no matter how many events you do.

Now is not the time to cut back on investing in your employees. With the economic impact

that businesses are facing it is even more important than ever for businesses to invest

in their employees and show them how much they are truly appreciated. Due to our relation-

ship with hundreds of vendors we can offer you the E-Ventive Package. Some of our best

vendors are willing to give us a commission for bringing them business in this stressful eco-

nomic time. By discounting our planning fees, the commission would pay the planning fees

and you still get all the benefits of having an experienced event planner on your team. We

guarantee that the vendors we use will be some of the best in their fields so we wouldn't be

sacrificing quality for price. This is one of the advantages we have that comes from working

with hundreds of vendors throughout the year and we are excited to get to pass this ad-

vantage off to you. Before cancelling that event, contact your PEC planner for ideas that will

work with your budget and your teams needs.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Welcome 2011 and may it be a successful, prosperous new year for all!

PEC is really looking forward with anticipation to all the unique, fun and fabulous ideas and events that

will come our way throughout the year. It’s time to explore the hottest new trends, the hot & hap-

pening venues, and the most amazing vendors. It’s the time to be on the lookout for any new and ex-

citing items that can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. At Premier this time of year is

very inspiring for us. We are excited about all the possibilities and know all of you will be too. This is

also the time of year when we reflect back on those people we have worked with over the course of

the last year and offer our sincerest gratitude for such an amazing group of people to work with.

We’d like to dedicate this newsletter to you and offer up some ―persPECtives awards‖.

Every year we keep our eyes, and ears open

goes to a vendor that isn’t afraid to step out

they can. They will help other vendors set

up, they will stay and help us clean up what-

ever needs to be cleaned so we can all go

home after an event. This vendor will work

with us no matter how difficult or outland-

ish a request. The vendor with THE BEST

January is a great time to look ahead and determine the kinds of events that

you want to do. There are so many different kinds of events; everything

from meetings to social gatherings that deciding what to do can be over-

to do can be just as daunting. PEC can assist you with the entire planning

process. We can discuss different types of events that could meet your core

Now is not the time to cut back on investing in your employees. With the economic impact

that businesses are facing it is even more important than ever for businesses to invest

in their employees and show them how much they are truly appreciated. Due to our relation-

ship with hundreds of vendors we can offer you the E-Ventive Package. Some of our best

vendors are willing to give us a commission for bringing them business in this stressful eco-

nomic time. By discounting our planning fees, the commission would pay the planning fees

and you still get all the benefits of having an experienced event planner on your team. We

guarantee that the vendors we use will be some of the best in their fields so we wouldn't be

sacrificing quality for price. This is one of the advantages we have that comes from working

with hundreds of vendors throughout the year and we are excited to get to pass this ad-

vantage off to you. Before cancelling that event, contact your PEC planner for ideas that will

work with your budget and your teams needs.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Welcome 2011 and may it be a successful, prosperous new year for all!

PEC is really looking forward with anticipation to all the unique, fun and fabulous ideas and events that

will come our way throughout the year. It’s time to explore the hottest new trends, the hot & hap-

pening venues, and the most amazing vendors. It’s the time to be on the lookout for any new and ex-

citing items that can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. At Premier this time of year is

very inspiring for us. We are excited about all the possibilities and know all of you will be too. This is

also the time of year when we reflect back on those people we have worked with over the course of

the last year and offer our sincerest gratitude for such an amazing group of people to work with.

We’d like to dedicate this newsletter to you and offer up some ―persPECtives awards‖.

Throw in fun props and customize the

film strips with your logo and you

have an instant hit with our photog-

raphy star, Atomic Photo Booths!

BEST PICTURE BEST in SOUND MIXING

Our vote for sound mixing goes to the

one...the only….DJ AutoMATTic! Matt re-

ally knows how to get the party started and

Rock-n-Roll the night away.

We know just who to turn to for graphics

design work that is done right in a quick turn

around time and for a reasonable price. Our

favorite team to work with is Kotis Design!

BEST in VISUAL EFFECTS

There are so many facets to the audio

visual industry that it is hard to know

what is best in a situation. Thank

goodness for our top pick—the guys

from AVpro!

BEST in GRAPHICS

Everyone knows the outfit makes the

character come alive and in this case

we just couldn't do a proper costume

job without A MASQUERADE!

Always at the top of our list—From

casual to clubbing to Avant Garde—

the makeup artists from Jilladair Cos-

metics are the very best in town!

Our top pick of the year goes to the

best kept secret in Seattle, the

Cirque Event Center. Their space is

perfect for any gathering from 100

to 1000 guests. We absolutely love

its versatility and know you will too!

With their comprehensive products,

creative design services and broad

range of technical expertise West

Coast Event Productions stands head

and shoulders above the competition

in our books.

BEST in MAKEUP BEST in COSTUME

BEST in LOCATION BEST in PRODUCTION

Color makes the world go round and

we love how easy Kuler theme’s

make our job for planning color in-

fused events!

Okay, so we are a sucker for a piece of

chocolate but give us gourmet choco-

late, add in chocolate tastings for events

and you have our top pick for best in

sweets—Sweet Decadence!

We get the privilege of hearing some great

bands over the course of a year but our fa-

vorite for 2010 was a Rockabilly Band—Juke

Joint Gamblers. They sound amazing!

Our vote for the best discovery we made

this year is for the O24U Oxygen Bar that

can be literally set up anywhere making it a

fun, healthy entertainment option.

Hands down this award goes to the

amazing staff and crew at Cirque

Artists are as varied as the mediums

they work in and on. We just happen

to think that Mehndi Madness’ henna

painting is top of the line for artistic

creation.

We love the Nitrogen Ice Cream

Station! It is one of the best innova-

come across in a long time! You’ve

got to try it!

they can. They will help other vendors set

up, they will stay and help us clean up what-

ever needs to be cleaned so we can all go

home after an event. This vendor will work

with us no matter how difficult or outland-

Now is not the time to cut back on investing in your employees. With the economic impact

that businesses are facing it is even more important than ever for businesses to invest

in their employees and show them how much they are truly appreciated. Due to our relation-

ship with hundreds of vendors we can offer you the E-Ventive Package. Some of our best

vendors are willing to give us a commission for bringing them business in this stressful eco-

nomic time. By discounting our planning fees, the commission would pay the planning fees

and you still get all the benefits of having an experienced event planner on your team. We

guarantee that the vendors we use will be some of the best in their fields so we wouldn't be

sacrificing quality for price. This is one of the advantages we have that comes from working

with hundreds of vendors throughout the year and we are excited to get to pass this ad-

vantage off to you. Before cancelling that event, contact your PEC planner for ideas that will

work with your budget and your teams needs.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Welcome 2011 and may it be a successful, prosperous new year for all!

PEC is really looking forward with anticipation to all the unique, fun and fabulous ideas and events that

will come our way throughout the year. It’s time to explore the hottest new trends, the hot & hap-

pening venues, and the most amazing vendors. It’s the time to be on the lookout for any new and ex-

citing items that can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. At Premier this time of year is

very inspiring for us. We are excited about all the possibilities and know all of you will be too. This is

also the time of year when we reflect back on those people we have worked with over the course of

the last year and offer our sincerest gratitude for such an amazing group of people to work with.

We’d like to dedicate this newsletter to you and offer up some ―persPECtives awards‖.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Welcome 2011 and may it be a successful, prosperous new year for all!

PEC is really looking forward with anticipation to all the unique, fun and fabulous ideas and events that

will come our way throughout the year. It’s time to explore the hottest new trends, the hot & hap-

pening venues, and the most amazing vendors. It’s the time to be on the lookout for any new and ex-

citing items that can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. At Premier this time of year is

very inspiring for us. We are excited about all the possibilities and know all of you will be too. This is

also the time of year when we reflect back on those people we have worked with over the course of

the last year and offer our sincerest gratitude for such an amazing group of people to work with.

We’d like to dedicate this newsletter to you and offer up some ―persPECtives awards‖.

Throw in fun props and customize the

film strips with your logo and you

have an instant hit with our photog-

raphy star, Atomic Photo Booths!

BEST PICTURE BEST in SOUND MIXING

Our vote for sound mixing goes to the

one...the only….DJ AutoMATTic! Matt re-

ally knows how to get the party started and

Rock-n-Roll the night away.

We know just who to turn to for graphics

design work that is done right in a quick turn

around time and for a reasonable price. Our

favorite team to work with is Kotis Design!

BEST in VISUAL EFFECTS

There are so many facets to the audio

visual industry that it is hard to know

what is best in a situation. Thank

goodness for our top pick—the guys

from AVpro!

BEST in GRAPHICS

Everyone knows the outfit makes the

character come alive and in this case

we just couldn't do a proper costume

job without A MASQUERADE!

Always at the top of our list—From

casual to clubbing to Avant Garde—

the makeup artists from Jilladair Cos-

metics are the very best in town!

Our top pick of the year goes to the

best kept secret in Seattle, the

Cirque Event Center. Their space is

perfect for any gathering from 100

to 1000 guests. We absolutely love

its versatility and know you will too!

With their comprehensive products,

creative design services and broad

range of technical expertise West

Coast Event Productions stands head

and shoulders above the competition

in our books.

BEST in MAKEUP BEST in COSTUME

BEST in LOCATION BEST in PRODUCTION

Color makes the world go round and

we love how easy Kuler theme’s

make our job for planning color in-

fused events!

Okay, so we are a sucker for a piece of

chocolate but give us gourmet choco-

late, add in chocolate tastings for events

and you have our top pick for best in

sweets—Sweet Decadence!

We get the privilege of hearing some great

bands over the course of a year but our fa-

vorite for 2010 was a Rockabilly Band—Juke

Joint Gamblers. They sound amazing!

Our vote for the best discovery we made

this year is for the O24U Oxygen Bar that

can be literally set up anywhere making it a

fun, healthy entertainment option.

MOST VALUABLE PLAYER

Every year we keep our eyes, and ears open

for the vendor who has provided the best

overall service. This year the MVP award

goes to a vendor that isn’t afraid to step out

of their specific arena and help us in any way

they can. They will help other vendors set

up, they will stay and help us clean up what-

ever needs to be cleaned so we can all go

home after an event. This vendor will work

with us no matter how difficult or outland-

ish a request. The vendor with THE BEST

CAN DO ATTITUDE is the crew at ALL

January is a great time to look ahead and determine the kinds of events that

you want to do. There are so many different kinds of events; everything

from meetings to social gatherings that deciding what to do can be over-

whelming. Determining if you have the right budget for the events you want

to do can be just as daunting. PEC can assist you with the entire planning

process. We can discuss different types of events that could meet your core

objectives and help you determine a reasonable budget to meet those objec-

tives. PEC planners specialize in helping companies create a yearly event plan

to maximize their budget and impact, no matter how many events you do.

Now is not the time to cut back on investing in your employees. With the economic impact

that businesses are facing it is even more important than ever for businesses to invest

in their employees and show them how much they are truly appreciated. Due to our relation-

ship with hundreds of vendors we can offer you the E-Ventive Package. Some of our best

vendors are willing to give us a commission for bringing them business in this stressful eco-

nomic time. By discounting our planning fees, the commission would pay the planning fees

and you still get all the benefits of having an experienced event planner on your team. We

guarantee that the vendors we use will be some of the best in their fields so we wouldn't be

sacrificing quality for price. This is one of the advantages we have that comes from working

with hundreds of vendors throughout the year and we are excited to get to pass this ad-

Now is not the time to cut back on investing in your employees. With the economic impact

that businesses are facing it is even more important than ever for businesses to invest

in their employees and show them how much they are truly appreciated. Due to our relation-

ship with hundreds of vendors we can offer you the E-Ventive Package. Some of our best

vendors are willing to give us a commission for bringing them business in this stressful eco-

nomic time. By discounting our planning fees, the commission would pay the planning fees

and you still get all the benefits of having an experienced event planner on your team. We

guarantee that the vendors we use will be some of the best in their fields so we wouldn't be

sacrificing quality for price. This is one of the advantages we have that comes from working

with hundreds of vendors throughout the year and we are excited to get to pass this ad-

vantage off to you. Before cancelling that event, contact your PEC planner for ideas that will

work with your budget and your teams needs.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Welcome 2011 and may it be a successful, prosperous new year for all!

PEC is really looking forward with anticipation to all the unique, fun and fabulous ideas and events that

will come our way throughout the year. It’s time to explore the hottest new trends, the hot & hap-

pening venues, and the most amazing vendors. It’s the time to be on the lookout for any new and ex-

citing items that can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. At Premier this time of year is

very inspiring for us. We are excited about all the possibilities and know all of you will be too. This is

also the time of year when we reflect back on those people we have worked with over the course of

the last year and offer our sincerest gratitude for such an amazing group of people to work with.

We’d like to dedicate this newsletter to you and offer up some ―persPECtives awards‖.

Throw in fun props and customize the

film strips with your logo and you

have an instant hit with our photog-

raphy star, Atomic Photo Booths!

ally knows how to get the party started and

Rock-n-Roll the night away.

We know just who to turn to for graphics

design work that is done right in a quick turn

around time and for a reasonable price. Our

favorite team to work with is Kotis Design!

from AVpro!

we just couldn't do a proper costume

job without A MASQUERADE!

Always at the top of our list—From

casual to clubbing to Avant Garde—

the makeup artists from Jilladair Cos-

metics are the very best in town!

Our top pick of the year goes to the

best kept secret in Seattle, the

Cirque Event Center. Their space is

perfect for any gathering from 100

in our books.

BEST in MAKEUP BEST in COSTUME

chocolate but give us gourmet choco-

late, add in chocolate tastings for events

and you have our top pick for best in

sweets—Sweet Decadence!

We get the privilege of hearing some great

bands over the course of a year but our fa-

vorite for 2010 was a Rockabilly Band—Juke

Joint Gamblers. They sound amazing!

Our vote for the best discovery we made

this year is for the O24U Oxygen Bar that

can be literally set up anywhere making it a

fun, healthy entertainment option.

1. Farm inspired —Rich deep browns, bright vegetable colors and anything wood,

burlap or twine. Rustic centerpieces are all the rage!

2. Ordered—Simplistic and bold geometrical colors and patterns like stripes and polka

dots, think black and white with pops of color, and even monochromatic color

schemes.

3. Escape—Whimsy, magical, and fairytale-esque. Creating the idea of escaping reality

through environment.

4. Tribal—Yes you guessed it! from Africa to Australia and anywhere in between,

anything tribal will go. Rich oranges, berries, textured browns, bronze, and beading.

When you want to make a statement

with flowers there isn’t a better place

to go than Ravenna Bloom. Her flow-

and classy for any occasion.

Our favorite theme for this year was

a Rockabilly event. Lots of roaming

entertainers, hula hoop dancers, fan-

tastic food and a ―moonshine‖ signa-

ture drink in mason jars. It was quite

the event!

MOST VALUABLE PLAYER

Every year we keep our eyes, and ears open

for the vendor who has provided the best

overall service. This year the MVP award

goes to a vendor that isn’t afraid to step out

of their specific arena and help us in any way

they can. They will help other vendors set

up, they will stay and help us clean up what-

ever needs to be cleaned so we can all go

home after an event. This vendor will work

with us no matter how difficult or outland-

ish a request. The vendor with THE BEST

CAN DO ATTITUDE is the crew at ALL

AMERICAN BAR & CATERING.

*Greg—you and the fabulous crew that

works for you are always the quickest to

respond to our requests, the easiest to work

with and offer the highest level of customer

service! WE LOVE YOU! Thank you for all

you do for us!

Every year we keep our eyes, and ears open

for the vendor who has provided the best

goes to a vendor that isn’t afraid to step out

of their specific arena and help us in any way

they can. They will help other vendors set

up, they will stay and help us clean up what-

ever needs to be cleaned so we can all go

home after an event. This vendor will work

with us no matter how difficult or outland-

ish a request. The vendor with THE BEST

January is a great time to look ahead and determine the kinds of events that

to do can be just as daunting. PEC can assist you with the entire planning

Now is not the time to cut back on investing in your employees. With the economic impact

that businesses are facing it is even more important than ever for businesses to invest

in their employees and show them how much they are truly appreciated. Due to our relation-

ship with hundreds of vendors we can offer you the E-Ventive Package. Some of our best

vendors are willing to give us a commission for bringing them business in this stressful eco-

nomic time. By discounting our planning fees, the commission would pay the planning fees

and you still get all the benefits of having an experienced event planner on your team. We

guarantee that the vendors we use will be some of the best in their fields so we wouldn't be

sacrificing quality for price. This is one of the advantages we have that comes from working

with hundreds of vendors throughout the year and we are excited to get to pass this ad-

vantage off to you. Before cancelling that event, contact your PEC planner for ideas that will

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Welcome 2011 and may it be a successful, prosperous new year for all!

PEC is really looking forward with anticipation to all the unique, fun and fabulous ideas and events that

will come our way throughout the year. It’s time to explore the hottest new trends, the hot & hap-

pening venues, and the most amazing vendors. It’s the time to be on the lookout for any new and ex-

citing items that can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. At Premier this time of year is

very inspiring for us. We are excited about all the possibilities and know all of you will be too. This is

also the time of year when we reflect back on those people we have worked with over the course of

the last year and offer our sincerest gratitude for such an amazing group of people to work with.

We’d like to dedicate this newsletter to you and offer up some ―persPECtives awards‖.

Now is not the time to cut back on investing in your employees. With the economic impact

that businesses are facing it is even more important than ever for businesses to invest

in their employees and show them how much they are truly appreciated. Due to our relation-

ship with hundreds of vendors we can offer you the E-Ventive Package. Some of our best

vendors are willing to give us a commission for bringing them business in this stressful eco-

nomic time. By discounting our planning fees, the commission would pay the planning fees

and you still get all the benefits of having an experienced event planner on your team. We

guarantee that the vendors we use will be some of the best in their fields so we wouldn't be

sacrificing quality for price. This is one of the advantages we have that comes from working

with hundreds of vendors throughout the year and we are excited to get to pass this ad-

vantage off to you. Before cancelling that event, contact your PEC planner for ideas that will

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Welcome 2011 and may it be a successful, prosperous new year for all!

PEC is really looking forward with anticipation to all the unique, fun and fabulous ideas and events that

will come our way throughout the year. It’s time to explore the hottest new trends, the hot & hap-

pening venues, and the most amazing vendors. It’s the time to be on the lookout for any new and ex-

citing items that can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. At Premier this time of year is

very inspiring for us. We are excited about all the possibilities and know all of you will be too. This is

also the time of year when we reflect back on those people we have worked with over the course of

the last year and offer our sincerest gratitude for such an amazing group of people to work with.

We’d like to dedicate this newsletter to you and offer up some ―persPECtives awards‖.

Throw in fun props and customize the

film strips with your logo and you

have an instant hit with our photog-

raphy star, Atomic Photo Booths!

BEST PICTURE BEST in SOUND MIXING

Our vote for sound mixing goes to the

one...the only….DJ AutoMATTic! Matt re-

ally knows how to get the party started and

Rock-n-Roll the night away.

We know just who to turn to for graphics

design work that is done right in a quick turn

around time and for a reasonable price. Our

favorite team to work with is Kotis Design!

BEST in VISUAL EFFECTS

There are so many facets to the audio

visual industry that it is hard to know

what is best in a situation. Thank

goodness for our top pick—the guys

from AVpro!

BEST in GRAPHICS

Everyone knows the outfit makes the

character come alive and in this case

we just couldn't do a proper costume

job without A MASQUERADE!

Always at the top of our list—From

casual to clubbing to Avant Garde—

the makeup artists from Jilladair Cos-

metics are the very best in town!

Our top pick of the year goes to the

best kept secret in Seattle, the

Cirque Event Center. Their space is

perfect for any gathering from 100

to 1000 guests. We absolutely love

its versatility and know you will too!

With their comprehensive products,

creative design services and broad

range of technical expertise West

Coast Event Productions stands head

and shoulders above the competition

in our books.

BEST in MAKEUP BEST in COSTUME

BEST in LOCATION BEST in PRODUCTION

Color makes the world go round and

we love how easy Kuler theme’s

make our job for planning color in-

fused events!

Okay, so we are a sucker for a piece of

chocolate but give us gourmet choco-

late, add in chocolate tastings for events

and you have our top pick for best in

sweets—Sweet Decadence!

We get the privilege of hearing some great

bands over the course of a year but our fa-

vorite for 2010 was a Rockabilly Band—Juke

Joint Gamblers. They sound amazing!

Our vote for the best discovery we made

this year is for the O24U Oxygen Bar that

can be literally set up anywhere making it a

fun, healthy entertainment option.

Now is not the time to cut back on investing in your employees. With the economic impact

that businesses are facing it is even more important than ever for businesses to invest

in their employees and show them how much they are truly appreciated. Due to our relation-

ship with hundreds of vendors we can offer you the E-Ventive Package. Some of our best

vendors are willing to give us a commission for bringing them business in this stressful eco-

nomic time. By discounting our planning fees, the commission would pay the planning fees

and you still get all the benefits of having an experienced event planner on your team. We

guarantee that the vendors we use will be some of the best in their fields so we wouldn't be

sacrificing quality for price. This is one of the advantages we have that comes from working

with hundreds of vendors throughout the year and we are excited to get to pass this ad-

vantage off to you. Before cancelling that event, contact your PEC planner for ideas that will

work with your budget and your teams needs.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Welcome 2011 and may it be a successful, prosperous new year for all!

PEC is really looking forward with anticipation to all the unique, fun and fabulous ideas and events that

will come our way throughout the year. It’s time to explore the hottest new trends, the hot & hap-

pening venues, and the most amazing vendors. It’s the time to be on the lookout for any new and ex-

citing items that can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. At Premier this time of year is

very inspiring for us. We are excited about all the possibilities and know all of you will be too. This is

also the time of year when we reflect back on those people we have worked with over the course of

the last year and offer our sincerest gratitude for such an amazing group of people to work with.

We’d like to dedicate this newsletter to you and offer up some ―persPECtives awards‖.

Now is not the time to cut back on investing in your employees. With the economic impact

that businesses are facing it is even more important than ever for businesses to invest

in their employees and show them how much they are truly appreciated. Due to our relation-

ship with hundreds of vendors we can offer you the E-Ventive Package. Some of our best

vendors are willing to give us a commission for bringing them business in this stressful eco-

nomic time. By discounting our planning fees, the commission would pay the planning fees

and you still get all the benefits of having an experienced event planner on your team. We

guarantee that the vendors we use will be some of the best in their fields so we wouldn't be

sacrificing quality for price. This is one of the advantages we have that comes from working

with hundreds of vendors throughout the year and we are excited to get to pass this ad-

vantage off to you. Before cancelling that event, contact your PEC planner for ideas that will

work with your budget and your teams needs.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Welcome 2011 and may it be a successful, prosperous new year for all!

PEC is really looking forward with anticipation to all the unique, fun and fabulous ideas and events that

will come our way throughout the year. It’s time to explore the hottest new trends, the hot & hap-

pening venues, and the most amazing vendors. It’s the time to be on the lookout for any new and ex-

citing items that can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. At Premier this time of year is

very inspiring for us. We are excited about all the possibilities and know all of you will be too. This is

also the time of year when we reflect back on those people we have worked with over the course of

the last year and offer our sincerest gratitude for such an amazing group of people to work with.

We’d like to dedicate this newsletter to you and offer up some ―persPECtives awards‖.

Throw in fun props and customize the

film strips with your logo and you

have an instant hit with our photog-

raphy star, Atomic Photo Booths!

metics are the very best in town!

bands over the course of a year but our fa-

vorite for 2010 was a Rockabilly Band—Juke

Joint Gamblers. They sound amazing!

Our vote for the best discovery we made

this year is for the O24U Oxygen Bar that

can be literally set up anywhere making it a

schemes.

MOST VALUABLE PLAYER

Every year we keep our eyes, and ears open

for the vendor who has provided the best

overall service. This year the MVP award

goes to a vendor that isn’t afraid to step out

of their specific arena and help us in any way

they can. They will help other vendors set

up, they will stay and help us clean up what-

ever needs to be cleaned so we can all go

home after an event. This vendor will work

with us no matter how difficult or outland-

ish a request. The vendor with THE BEST

CAN DO ATTITUDE is the crew at ALL

AMERICAN BAR & CATERING.

works for you are always the quickest to

respond to our requests, the easiest to work

with and offer the highest level of customer

service! WE LOVE YOU! Thank you for all

January is a great time to look ahead and determine the kinds of events that

you want to do. There are so many different kinds of events; everything

from meetings to social gatherings that deciding what to do can be over-

whelming. Determining if you have the right budget for the events you want

to do can be just as daunting. PEC can assist you with the entire planning

process. We can discuss different types of events that could meet your core

objectives and help you determine a reasonable budget to meet those objec-

tives. PEC planners specialize in helping companies create a yearly event plan

to maximize their budget and impact, no matter how many events you do.

January is a great time to look ahead and determine the kinds of events that

you want to do. There are so many different kinds of events; everything

from meetings to social gatherings that deciding what to do can be over-

whelming. Determining if you have the right budget for the events you want

to do can be just as daunting. PEC can assist you with the entire planning

process. We can discuss different types of events that could meet your core

objectives and help you determine a reasonable budget to meet those objec-

tives. PEC planners specialize in helping companies create a yearly event plan

to maximize their budget and impact, no matter how many events you do.

Now is not the time to cut back on investing in your employees. With the economic impact

that businesses are facing it is even more important than ever for businesses to invest

in their employees and show them how much they are truly appreciated. Due to our relation-

ship with hundreds of vendors we can offer you the E-Ventive Package. Some of our best

vendors are willing to give us a commission for bringing them business in this stressful eco-

nomic time. By discounting our planning fees, the commission would pay the planning fees

and you still get all the benefits of having an experienced event planner on your team. We

guarantee that the vendors we use will be some of the best in their fields so we wouldn't be

sacrificing quality for price. This is one of the advantages we have that comes from working

with hundreds of vendors throughout the year and we are excited to get to pass this ad-

vantage off to you. Before cancelling that event, contact your PEC planner for ideas that will

work with your budget and your teams needs.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Welcome 2011 and may it be a successful, prosperous new year for all!

PEC is really looking forward with anticipation to all the unique, fun and fabulous ideas and events that

will come our way throughout the year. It’s time to explore the hottest new trends, the hot & hap-

pening venues, and the most amazing vendors. It’s the time to be on the lookout for any new and ex-

citing items that can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. At Premier this time of year is

very inspiring for us. We are excited about all the possibilities and know all of you will be too. This is

also the time of year when we reflect back on those people we have worked with over the course of

the last year and offer our sincerest gratitude for such an amazing group of people to work with.

We’d like to dedicate this newsletter to you and offer up some ―persPECtives awards‖.

Throw in fun props and customize the

film strips with your logo and you

have an instant hit with our photog-

raphy star, Atomic Photo Booths!

Always at the top of our list—From

the makeup artists from Jilladair Cos-

metics are the very best in town!

Our top pick of the year goes to the

vorite for 2010 was a Rockabilly Band—Juke

Joint Gamblers. They sound amazing!

Our vote for the best discovery we made

this year is for the O24U Oxygen Bar that

can be literally set up anywhere making it a

goes to a vendor that isn’t afraid to step out

they can. They will help other vendors set

up, they will stay and help us clean up what-

ever needs to be cleaned so we can all go

home after an event. This vendor will work

with us no matter how difficult or outland-

Now is not the time to cut back on investing in your employees. With the economic impact

that businesses are facing it is even more important than ever for businesses to invest

in their employees and show them how much they are truly appreciated. Due to our relation-

ship with hundreds of vendors we can offer you the E-Ventive Package. Some of our best

vendors are willing to give us a commission for bringing them business in this stressful eco-

nomic time. By discounting our planning fees, the commission would pay the planning fees

and you still get all the benefits of having an experienced event planner on your team. We

guarantee that the vendors we use will be some of the best in their fields so we wouldn't be

sacrificing quality for price. This is one of the advantages we have that comes from working

with hundreds of vendors throughout the year and we are excited to get to pass this ad-

vantage off to you. Before cancelling that event, contact your PEC planner for ideas that will

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Welcome 2011 and may it be a successful, prosperous new year for all!

PEC is really looking forward with anticipation to all the unique, fun and fabulous ideas and events that

will come our way throughout the year. It’s time to explore the hottest new trends, the hot & hap-

pening venues, and the most amazing vendors. It’s the time to be on the lookout for any new and ex-

citing items that can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. At Premier this time of year is

very inspiring for us. We are excited about all the possibilities and know all of you will be too. This is

also the time of year when we reflect back on those people we have worked with over the course of

the last year and offer our sincerest gratitude for such an amazing group of people to work with.

We’d like to dedicate this newsletter to you and offer up some ―persPECtives awards‖.

Throw in fun props and customize the

film strips with your logo and you

have an instant hit with our photog-

raphy star, Atomic Photo Booths!

we just couldn't do a proper costume

job without A MASQUERADE!

Always at the top of our list—From

the makeup artists from Jilladair Cos-

metics are the very best in town!

Our top pick of the year goes to the

best kept secret in Seattle, the

We get the privilege of hearing some great

bands over the course of a year but our fa-

vorite for 2010 was a Rockabilly Band—Juke

Joint Gamblers. They sound amazing!

Our vote for the best discovery we made

this year is for the O24U Oxygen Bar that

can be literally set up anywhere making it a

fun, healthy entertainment option.

Now is not the time to cut back on investing in your employees. With the economic impact

that businesses are facing it is even more important than ever for businesses to invest

in their employees and show them how much they are truly appreciated. Due to our relation-

ship with hundreds of vendors we can offer you the E-Ventive Package. Some of our best

vendors are willing to give us a commission for bringing them business in this stressful eco-

nomic time. By discounting our planning fees, the commission would pay the planning fees

and you still get all the benefits of having an experienced event planner on your team. We

guarantee that the vendors we use will be some of the best in their fields so we wouldn't be

sacrificing quality for price. This is one of the advantages we have that comes from working

with hundreds of vendors throughout the year and we are excited to get to pass this ad-

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Welcome 2011 and may it be a successful, prosperous new year for all!

PEC is really looking forward with anticipation to all the unique, fun and fabulous ideas and events that

will come our way throughout the year. It’s time to explore the hottest new trends, the hot & hap-

pening venues, and the most amazing vendors. It’s the time to be on the lookout for any new and ex-

citing items that can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. At Premier this time of year is

very inspiring for us. We are excited about all the possibilities and know all of you will be too. This is

also the time of year when we reflect back on those people we have worked with over the course of

the last year and offer our sincerest gratitude for such an amazing group of people to work with.

We’d like to dedicate this newsletter to you and offer up some ―persPECtives awards‖.

Throw in fun props and customize the

film strips with your logo and you

have an instant hit with our photog-

raphy star, Atomic Photo Booths!

ally knows how to get the party started and

Rock-n-Roll the night away.

We know just who to turn to for graphics

design work that is done right in a quick turn

around time and for a reasonable price. Our

favorite team to work with is Kotis Design!

goodness for our top pick—the guys

from AVpro!

Everyone knows the outfit makes the

character come alive and in this case

we just couldn't do a proper costume

job without A MASQUERADE!

Always at the top of our list—From

the makeup artists from Jilladair Cos-

metics are the very best in town!

Our top pick of the year goes to the

best kept secret in Seattle, the

Now is not the time to cut back on investing in your employees. With the economic impact

that businesses are facing it is even more important than ever for businesses to invest

in their employees and show them how much they are truly appreciated. Due to our relation-

ship with hundreds of vendors we can offer you the E-Ventive Package. Some of our best

vendors are willing to give us a commission for bringing them business in this stressful eco-

nomic time. By discounting our planning fees, the commission would pay the planning fees

and you still get all the benefits of having an experienced event planner on your team. We

guarantee that the vendors we use will be some of the best in their fields so we wouldn't be

sacrificing quality for price. This is one of the advantages we have that comes from working

with hundreds of vendors throughout the year and we are excited to get to pass this ad-

vantage off to you. Before cancelling that event, contact your PEC planner for ideas that will

work with your budget and your teams needs.

Now is not the time to cut back on investing in your employees. With the economic impact

that businesses are facing it is even more important than ever for businesses to invest

in their employees and show them how much they are truly appreciated. Due to our relation-

ship with hundreds of vendors we can offer you the E-Ventive Package. Some of our best

vendors are willing to give us a commission for bringing them business in this stressful eco-

nomic time. By discounting our planning fees, the commission would pay the planning fees

and you still get all the benefits of having an experienced event planner on your team. We

guarantee that the vendors we use will be some of the best in their fields so we wouldn't be

sacrificing quality for price. This is one of the advantages we have that comes from working

with hundreds of vendors throughout the year and we are excited to get to pass this ad-

vantage off to you. Before cancelling that event, contact your PEC planner for ideas that will

work with your budget and your teams needs.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Welcome 2011 and may it be a successful, prosperous new year for all!

PEC is really looking forward with anticipation to all the unique, fun and fabulous ideas and events that

will come our way throughout the year. It’s time to explore the hottest new trends, the hot & hap-

pening venues, and the most amazing vendors. It’s the time to be on the lookout for any new and ex-

citing items that can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. At Premier this time of year is

very inspiring for us. We are excited about all the possibilities and know all of you will be too. This is

also the time of year when we reflect back on those people we have worked with over the course of

the last year and offer our sincerest gratitude for such an amazing group of people to work with.

We’d like to dedicate this newsletter to you and offer up some ―persPECtives awards‖.

Throw in fun props and customize the

film strips with your logo and you

have an instant hit with our photog-

raphy star, Atomic Photo Booths!

ally knows how to get the party started and

Rock-n-Roll the night away.

We know just who to turn to for graphics

design work that is done right in a quick turn

around time and for a reasonable price. Our

favorite team to work with is Kotis Design!

visual industry that it is hard to know

what is best in a situation. Thank

goodness for our top pick—the guys

from AVpro!

BEST in GRAPHICS

we just couldn't do a proper costume

job without A MASQUERADE!

Always at the top of our list—From

casual to clubbing to Avant Garde—

the makeup artists from Jilladair Cos-

metics are the very best in town!

Our top pick of the year goes to the

best kept secret in Seattle, the

Cirque Event Center. Their space is

perfect for any gathering from 100

in our books.

BEST in MAKEUP BEST in COSTUME

fused events!

Okay, so we are a sucker for a piece of

chocolate but give us gourmet choco-

late, add in chocolate tastings for events

and you have our top pick for best in

sweets—Sweet Decadence!

We get the privilege of hearing some great

bands over the course of a year but our fa-

vorite for 2010 was a Rockabilly Band—Juke

Joint Gamblers. They sound amazing!

Our vote for the best discovery we made

this year is for the O24U Oxygen Bar that

can be literally set up anywhere making it a

fun, healthy entertainment option.

burlap or twine. Rustic centerpieces are all the rage!

2. Ordered—Simplistic and bold geometrical colors and patterns like stripes and polka

schemes.

3. Escape—Whimsy, magical, and fairytale-esque. Creating the idea of escaping reality

through environment.

anything tribal will go. Rich oranges, berries, textured browns, bronze, and beading.

When you want to make a statement

Our favorite theme for this year was

a Rockabilly event. Lots of roaming

entertainers, hula hoop dancers, fan-

tastic food and a ―moonshine‖ signa-

ture drink in mason jars. It was quite

the event!

MOST VALUABLE PLAYER

Every year we keep our eyes, and ears open

for the vendor who has provided the best

overall service. This year the MVP award

goes to a vendor that isn’t afraid to step out

of their specific arena and help us in any way

they can. They will help other vendors set

up, they will stay and help us clean up what-

ever needs to be cleaned so we can all go

home after an event. This vendor will work

with us no matter how difficult or outland-

ish a request. The vendor with THE BEST

CAN DO ATTITUDE is the crew at ALL

AMERICAN BAR & CATERING.

*Greg—you and the fabulous crew that

works for you are always the quickest to

respond to our requests, the easiest to work

with and offer the highest level of customer

service! WE LOVE YOU! Thank you for all

you do for us!

January is a great time to look ahead and determine the kinds of events that

you want to do. There are so many different kinds of events; everything

from meetings to social gatherings that deciding what to do can be over-

whelming. Determining if you have the right budget for the events you want

to do can be just as daunting. PEC can assist you with the entire planning

process. We can discuss different types of events that could meet your core

objectives and help you determine a reasonable budget to meet those objec-

tives. PEC planners specialize in helping companies create a yearly event plan

to maximize their budget and impact, no matter how many events you do.

MOST VALUABLE PLAYER

Every year we keep our eyes, and ears open

for the vendor who has provided the best

overall service. This year the MVP award

goes to a vendor that isn’t afraid to step out

of their specific arena and help us in any way

they can. They will help other vendors set

up, they will stay and help us clean up what-

ever needs to be cleaned so we can all go

home after an event. This vendor will work

with us no matter how difficult or outland-

ish a request. The vendor with THE BEST

CAN DO ATTITUDE is the crew at ALL

AMERICAN BAR & CATERING.

*Greg—you and the fabulous crew that

works for you are always the quickest to

respond to our requests, the easiest to work

with and offer the highest level of customer

service! WE LOVE YOU! Thank you for all

you do for us!

January is a great time to look ahead and determine the kinds of events that

you want to do. There are so many different kinds of events; everything

from meetings to social gatherings that deciding what to do can be over-

whelming. Determining if you have the right budget for the events you want

to do can be just as daunting. PEC can assist you with the entire planning

process. We can discuss different types of events that could meet your core

to maximize their budget and impact, no matter how many events you do.

Now is not the time to cut back on investing in your employees. With the economic impact

that businesses are facing it is even more important than ever for businesses to invest

in their employees and show them how much they are truly appreciated. Due to our relation-

ship with hundreds of vendors we can offer you the E-Ventive Package. Some of our best

vendors are willing to give us a commission for bringing them business in this stressful eco-

nomic time. By discounting our planning fees, the commission would pay the planning fees

and you still get all the benefits of having an experienced event planner on your team. We

guarantee that the vendors we use will be some of the best in their fields so we wouldn't be

sacrificing quality for price. This is one of the advantages we have that comes from working

with hundreds of vendors throughout the year and we are excited to get to pass this ad-

vantage off to you. Before cancelling that event, contact your PEC planner for ideas that will

work with your budget and your teams needs.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Welcome 2011 and may it be a successful, prosperous new year for all!

PEC is really looking forward with anticipation to all the unique, fun and fabulous ideas and events that

will come our way throughout the year. It’s time to explore the hottest new trends, the hot & hap-

pening venues, and the most amazing vendors. It’s the time to be on the lookout for any new and ex-

citing items that can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. At Premier this time of year is

very inspiring for us. We are excited about all the possibilities and know all of you will be too. This is

also the time of year when we reflect back on those people we have worked with over the course of

the last year and offer our sincerest gratitude for such an amazing group of people to work with.

We’d like to dedicate this newsletter to you and offer up some ―persPECtives awards‖.

Every year we keep our eyes, and ears open

goes to a vendor that isn’t afraid to step out

they can. They will help other vendors set

up, they will stay and help us clean up what-

ever needs to be cleaned so we can all go

home after an event. This vendor will work

with us no matter how difficult or outland-

ish a request. The vendor with THE BEST

January is a great time to look ahead and determine the kinds of events that

you want to do. There are so many different kinds of events; everything

from meetings to social gatherings that deciding what to do can be over-

to do can be just as daunting. PEC can assist you with the entire planning

process. We can discuss different types of events that could meet your core

Now is not the time to cut back on investing in your employees. With the economic impact

that businesses are facing it is even more important than ever for businesses to invest

in their employees and show them how much they are truly appreciated. Due to our relation-

ship with hundreds of vendors we can offer you the E-Ventive Package. Some of our best

vendors are willing to give us a commission for bringing them business in this stressful eco-

nomic time. By discounting our planning fees, the commission would pay the planning fees

and you still get all the benefits of having an experienced event planner on your team. We

guarantee that the vendors we use will be some of the best in their fields so we wouldn't be

sacrificing quality for price. This is one of the advantages we have that comes from working

with hundreds of vendors throughout the year and we are excited to get to pass this ad-

vantage off to you. Before cancelling that event, contact your PEC planner for ideas that will

work with your budget and your teams needs.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Welcome 2011 and may it be a successful, prosperous new year for all!

PEC is really looking forward with anticipation to all the unique, fun and fabulous ideas and events that

will come our way throughout the year. It’s time to explore the hottest new trends, the hot & hap-

pening venues, and the most amazing vendors. It’s the time to be on the lookout for any new and ex-

citing items that can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. At Premier this time of year is

very inspiring for us. We are excited about all the possibilities and know all of you will be too. This is

also the time of year when we reflect back on those people we have worked with over the course of

the last year and offer our sincerest gratitude for such an amazing group of people to work with.

We’d like to dedicate this newsletter to you and offer up some ―persPECtives awards‖.

Throw in fun props and customize the

film strips with your logo and you

have an instant hit with our photog-

raphy star, Atomic Photo Booths!

BEST PICTURE BEST in SOUND MIXING

Our vote for sound mixing goes to the

one...the only….DJ AutoMATTic! Matt re-

ally knows how to get the party started and

Rock-n-Roll the night away.

We know just who to turn to for graphics

design work that is done right in a quick turn

around time and for a reasonable price. Our

favorite team to work with is Kotis Design!

BEST in VISUAL EFFECTS

There are so many facets to the audio

visual industry that it is hard to know

what is best in a situation. Thank

goodness for our top pick—the guys

from AVpro!

BEST in GRAPHICS

Everyone knows the outfit makes the

character come alive and in this case

we just couldn't do a proper costume

job without A MASQUERADE!

Always at the top of our list—From

casual to clubbing to Avant Garde—

the makeup artists from Jilladair Cos-

metics are the very best in town!

Our top pick of the year goes to the

best kept secret in Seattle, the

Cirque Event Center. Their space is

perfect for any gathering from 100

to 1000 guests. We absolutely love

its versatility and know you will too!

With their comprehensive products,

creative design services and broad

range of technical expertise West

Coast Event Productions stands head

and shoulders above the competition

in our books.

BEST in MAKEUP BEST in COSTUME

BEST in LOCATION BEST in PRODUCTION

Color makes the world go round and

we love how easy Kuler theme’s

make our job for planning color in-

fused events!

Okay, so we are a sucker for a piece of

chocolate but give us gourmet choco-

late, add in chocolate tastings for events

and you have our top pick for best in

sweets—Sweet Decadence!

We get the privilege of hearing some great

bands over the course of a year but our fa-

vorite for 2010 was a Rockabilly Band—Juke

Joint Gamblers. They sound amazing!

Our vote for the best discovery we made

this year is for the O24U Oxygen Bar that

can be literally set up anywhere making it a

fun, healthy entertainment option.

Hands down this award goes to the

amazing staff and crew at Cirque

Artists are as varied as the mediums

they work in and on. We just happen

to think that Mehndi Madness’ henna

painting is top of the line for artistic

creation.

We love the Nitrogen Ice Cream

Station! It is one of the best innova-

come across in a long time! You’ve

got to try it!

they can. They will help other vendors set

up, they will stay and help us clean up what-

ever needs to be cleaned so we can all go

home after an event. This vendor will work

with us no matter how difficult or outland-

Now is not the time to cut back on investing in your employees. With the economic impact

that businesses are facing it is even more important than ever for businesses to invest

in their employees and show them how much they are truly appreciated. Due to our relation-

ship with hundreds of vendors we can offer you the E-Ventive Package. Some of our best

vendors are willing to give us a commission for bringing them business in this stressful eco-

nomic time. By discounting our planning fees, the commission would pay the planning fees

and you still get all the benefits of having an experienced event planner on your team. We

guarantee that the vendors we use will be some of the best in their fields so we wouldn't be

sacrificing quality for price. This is one of the advantages we have that comes from working

with hundreds of vendors throughout the year and we are excited to get to pass this ad-

vantage off to you. Before cancelling that event, contact your PEC planner for ideas that will

work with your budget and your teams needs.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Welcome 2011 and may it be a successful, prosperous new year for all!

PEC is really looking forward with anticipation to all the unique, fun and fabulous ideas and events that

will come our way throughout the year. It’s time to explore the hottest new trends, the hot & hap-

pening venues, and the most amazing vendors. It’s the time to be on the lookout for any new and ex-

citing items that can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. At Premier this time of year is

very inspiring for us. We are excited about all the possibilities and know all of you will be too. This is

also the time of year when we reflect back on those people we have worked with over the course of

the last year and offer our sincerest gratitude for such an amazing group of people to work with.

We’d like to dedicate this newsletter to you and offer up some ―persPECtives awards‖.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Welcome 2011 and may it be a successful, prosperous new year for all!

PEC is really looking forward with anticipation to all the unique, fun and fabulous ideas and events that

will come our way throughout the year. It’s time to explore the hottest new trends, the hot & hap-

pening venues, and the most amazing vendors. It’s the time to be on the lookout for any new and ex-

citing items that can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. At Premier this time of year is

very inspiring for us. We are excited about all the possibilities and know all of you will be too. This is

also the time of year when we reflect back on those people we have worked with over the course of

the last year and offer our sincerest gratitude for such an amazing group of people to work with.

We’d like to dedicate this newsletter to you and offer up some ―persPECtives awards‖.

Throw in fun props and customize the

film strips with your logo and you

have an instant hit with our photog-

raphy star, Atomic Photo Booths!

BEST PICTURE BEST in SOUND MIXING

Our vote for sound mixing goes to the

one...the only….DJ AutoMATTic! Matt re-

ally knows how to get the party started and

Rock-n-Roll the night away.

We know just who to turn to for graphics

design work that is done right in a quick turn

around time and for a reasonable price. Our

favorite team to work with is Kotis Design!

BEST in VISUAL EFFECTS

There are so many facets to the audio

visual industry that it is hard to know

what is best in a situation. Thank

goodness for our top pick—the guys

from AVpro!

BEST in GRAPHICS

Everyone knows the outfit makes the

character come alive and in this case

we just couldn't do a proper costume

job without A MASQUERADE!

Always at the top of our list—From

casual to clubbing to Avant Garde—

the makeup artists from Jilladair Cos-

metics are the very best in town!

Our top pick of the year goes to the

best kept secret in Seattle, the

Cirque Event Center. Their space is

perfect for any gathering from 100

to 1000 guests. We absolutely love

its versatility and know you will too!

With their comprehensive products,

creative design services and broad

range of technical expertise West

Coast Event Productions stands head

and shoulders above the competition

in our books.

BEST in MAKEUP BEST in COSTUME

BEST in LOCATION BEST in PRODUCTION

Color makes the world go round and

we love how easy Kuler theme’s

make our job for planning color in-

fused events!

Okay, so we are a sucker for a piece of

chocolate but give us gourmet choco-

late, add in chocolate tastings for events

and you have our top pick for best in

sweets—Sweet Decadence!

We get the privilege of hearing some great

bands over the course of a year but our fa-

vorite for 2010 was a Rockabilly Band—Juke

Joint Gamblers. They sound amazing!

Our vote for the best discovery we made

this year is for the O24U Oxygen Bar that

can be literally set up anywhere making it a

fun, healthy entertainment option.

MOST VALUABLE PLAYER

Every year we keep our eyes, and ears open

for the vendor who has provided the best

overall service. This year the MVP award

goes to a vendor that isn’t afraid to step out

of their specific arena and help us in any way

they can. They will help other vendors set

up, they will stay and help us clean up what-

ever needs to be cleaned so we can all go

home after an event. This vendor will work

with us no matter how difficult or outland-

ish a request. The vendor with THE BEST

CAN DO ATTITUDE is the crew at ALL

January is a great time to look ahead and determine the kinds of events that

you want to do. There are so many different kinds of events; everything

from meetings to social gatherings that deciding what to do can be over-

whelming. Determining if you have the right budget for the events you want

to do can be just as daunting. PEC can assist you with the entire planning

process. We can discuss different types of events that could meet your core

objectives and help you determine a reasonable budget to meet those objec-

tives. PEC planners specialize in helping companies create a yearly event plan

to maximize their budget and impact, no matter how many events you do.

Now is not the time to cut back on investing in your employees. With the economic impact

that businesses are facing it is even more important than ever for businesses to invest

in their employees and show them how much they are truly appreciated. Due to our relation-

ship with hundreds of vendors we can offer you the E-Ventive Package. Some of our best

vendors are willing to give us a commission for bringing them business in this stressful eco-

nomic time. By discounting our planning fees, the commission would pay the planning fees

and you still get all the benefits of having an experienced event planner on your team. We

guarantee that the vendors we use will be some of the best in their fields so we wouldn't be

sacrificing quality for price. This is one of the advantages we have that comes from working

with hundreds of vendors throughout the year and we are excited to get to pass this ad-

Now is not the time to cut back on investing in your employees. With the economic impact

that businesses are facing it is even more important than ever for businesses to invest

in their employees and show them how much they are truly appreciated. Due to our relation-

ship with hundreds of vendors we can offer you the E-Ventive Package. Some of our best

vendors are willing to give us a commission for bringing them business in this stressful eco-

nomic time. By discounting our planning fees, the commission would pay the planning fees

and you still get all the benefits of having an experienced event planner on your team. We

guarantee that the vendors we use will be some of the best in their fields so we wouldn't be

sacrificing quality for price. This is one of the advantages we have that comes from working

with hundreds of vendors throughout the year and we are excited to get to pass this ad-

vantage off to you. Before cancelling that event, contact your PEC planner for ideas that will

work with your budget and your teams needs.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Welcome 2011 and may it be a successful, prosperous new year for all!

PEC is really looking forward with anticipation to all the unique, fun and fabulous ideas and events that

will come our way throughout the year. It’s time to explore the hottest new trends, the hot & hap-

pening venues, and the most amazing vendors. It’s the time to be on the lookout for any new and ex-

citing items that can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. At Premier this time of year is

very inspiring for us. We are excited about all the possibilities and know all of you will be too. This is

also the time of year when we reflect back on those people we have worked with over the course of

the last year and offer our sincerest gratitude for such an amazing group of people to work with.

We’d like to dedicate this newsletter to you and offer up some ―persPECtives awards‖.

Throw in fun props and customize the

film strips with your logo and you

have an instant hit with our photog-

raphy star, Atomic Photo Booths!

ally knows how to get the party started and

Rock-n-Roll the night away.

We know just who to turn to for graphics

design work that is done right in a quick turn

around time and for a reasonable price. Our

favorite team to work with is Kotis Design!

from AVpro!

we just couldn't do a proper costume

job without A MASQUERADE!

Always at the top of our list—From

casual to clubbing to Avant Garde—

the makeup artists from Jilladair Cos-

metics are the very best in town!

Our top pick of the year goes to the

best kept secret in Seattle, the

Cirque Event Center. Their space is

perfect for any gathering from 100

in our books.

BEST in MAKEUP BEST in COSTUME

chocolate but give us gourmet choco-

late, add in chocolate tastings for events

and you have our top pick for best in

sweets—Sweet Decadence!

We get the privilege of hearing some great

bands over the course of a year but our fa-

vorite for 2010 was a Rockabilly Band—Juke

Joint Gamblers. They sound amazing!

Our vote for the best discovery we made

this year is for the O24U Oxygen Bar that

can be literally set up anywhere making it a

fun, healthy entertainment option.

1. Farm inspired —Rich deep browns, bright vegetable colors and anything wood,

burlap or twine. Rustic centerpieces are all the rage!

2. Ordered—Simplistic and bold geometrical colors and patterns like stripes and polka

dots, think black and white with pops of color, and even monochromatic color

schemes.

3. Escape—Whimsy, magical, and fairytale-esque. Creating the idea of escaping reality

through environment.

4. Tribal—Yes you guessed it! from Africa to Australia and anywhere in between,

anything tribal will go. Rich oranges, berries, textured browns, bronze, and beading.

When you want to make a statement

with flowers there isn’t a better place

to go than Ravenna Bloom. Her flow-

and classy for any occasion.

Our favorite theme for this year was

a Rockabilly event. Lots of roaming

entertainers, hula hoop dancers, fan-

tastic food and a ―moonshine‖ signa-

ture drink in mason jars. It was quite

the event!

MOST VALUABLE PLAYER

Every year we keep our eyes, and ears open

for the vendor who has provided the best

overall service. This year the MVP award

goes to a vendor that isn’t afraid to step out

of their specific arena and help us in any way

they can. They will help other vendors set

up, they will stay and help us clean up what-

ever needs to be cleaned so we can all go

home after an event. This vendor will work

with us no matter how difficult or outland-

ish a request. The vendor with THE BEST

CAN DO ATTITUDE is the crew at ALL

AMERICAN BAR & CATERING.

*Greg—you and the fabulous crew that

works for you are always the quickest to

respond to our requests, the easiest to work

with and offer the highest level of customer

service! WE LOVE YOU! Thank you for all

you do for us!

Every year we keep our eyes, and ears open

goes to a vendor that isn’t afraid to step out

of their specific arena and help us in any way

they can. They will help other vendors set

up, they will stay and help us clean up what-

ever needs to be cleaned so we can all go

home after an event. This vendor will work

with us no matter how difficult or outland-

ish a request. The vendor with THE BEST

to do can be just as daunting. PEC can assist you with the entire planning

Now is not the time to cut back on investing in your employees. With the economic impact

that businesses are facing it is even more important than ever for businesses to invest

in their employees and show them how much they are truly appreciated. Due to our relation-

ship with hundreds of vendors we can offer you the E-Ventive Package. Some of our best

vendors are willing to give us a commission for bringing them business in this stressful eco-

nomic time. By discounting our planning fees, the commission would pay the planning fees

and you still get all the benefits of having an experienced event planner on your team. We

guarantee that the vendors we use will be some of the best in their fields so we wouldn't be

sacrificing quality for price. This is one of the advantages we have that comes from working

with hundreds of vendors throughout the year and we are excited to get to pass this ad-

vantage off to you. Before cancelling that event, contact your PEC planner for ideas that will

work with your budget and your teams needs.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Welcome 2011 and may it be a successful, prosperous new year for all!

PEC is really looking forward with anticipation to all the unique, fun and fabulous ideas and events that

will come our way throughout the year. It’s time to explore the hottest new trends, the hot & hap-

pening venues, and the most amazing vendors. It’s the time to be on the lookout for any new and ex-

citing items that can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. At Premier this time of year is

very inspiring for us. We are excited about all the possibilities and know all of you will be too. This is

also the time of year when we reflect back on those people we have worked with over the course of

the last year and offer our sincerest gratitude for such an amazing group of people to work with.

We’d like to dedicate this newsletter to you and offer up some ―persPECtives awards‖.

film strips with your logo and you

metics are the very best in town!
