Lifestyle Consultants

With spring on the horizon Gala events has decided to break out of the winter doldrums by expanding dramatically. 2009 has certainly come in like a lion, with the inauguration of President Obama, to crazy trends, and the search for stability in these times of economic uncertainty.
Over the years we at Gala Events have been asked to do and produce many things. A concept we continuously find our selves coming back to is how we can continue to expand our one stop shop of resources. Which brings me to our latest and most noteworthy endeavor: becoming lifestyle consultants. What is a lifestyle consultant you ask? Put simply a life style consultant is an individual who provides expert advice and guidance. Clients often come to Gala searching for that one person they can trust to help them be the best that they can possibly be. Effortlessly planned parties, keeping them abreast of what is new in town and bringing the latest trends from all over the world to the greater Washington, DC area. What we have realized is that as we get more and more integrated into our client’s lives we find ourselves offering more and more services. Gala’s new approach provides our clients with the stability and support of the unbiased eye they crave while still producing intriguing combinations, and always delivering that trademark gala sparkle setting each event apart from the rest. As 2009 roars forward Gala’s taken its own approach to perpetuating the idea of freshness and renewal by adding lifestyle consultants to list of available services.
Wishing you a fabulous 2009!

Yes we can!

Yes we can and yes we did! The week of inauguration was an exciting time for everyone in Washington, DC. Gala Events was thrilled to be a part of things. We haven’t seen this level of excitement in the DC Metro area EVER! The streets were packed and positive energy was radiating throughout the city. The Gala team came together and worked on everything from red, white and blue bunting around parade route, to designing the most exciting after party in town at Posh Supper Club.
Getting everything downtown was certainly a challenge, especially with all of the roads being closed. However, this didn’t hold us back for long! Our design team even went to the extreme of riding in the back of a truck to ensure that everything made it to its right place!


YES WE DID-A few of our favorite things witnessed during the inaugural weekend:
1. 9 Events in four nights
2. Unprecedented security, droves of people and port-a-potties
3. Unbearably low temperatures
4. Rodeo Drive meets Pennsylvania Avenue- Hollywood comes to DC
5. Exit only metro stations
6. The line around the block at Ben’s Chili bowl
7. All bars staying open till 4am
8. Not a single arrest!
9. Motorcades, movie stars, and military presence- oh my!
10. Bunting, Bling, and Biden
11. The creation of our very own star spangled banner
