ut Ordinar y Everyone is looking for new and exciting experiences and innovative events that go beyond our imagination. We have the insider’s look at the unique trends that are taking the event world to the next level.

Creative Touches

Finding clever ways to highlight your theme and make your event unique can transform it into an extraordinary experience.

While signage, décor, and a tailored-menu enhance your theme, personal touches and creative ideas make your event innovative and trendy. Greet your guests with mini margarita place cards; serve them lattes with your personalized logo etched out in foam; place warm personal messages at each table setting – the possibilities are endless.

I’ll Drink to That!

The bar is a social gathering place, making it a great place to add décor! An event seeking a huge statement piece might consider adding a bar with an LED front. Imagine being surrounded by video and moving content highlighting your theme, guest of honor, colors, and logo. How cool!

Are your Guests In Sync? We’re not Talking about the Boy Band!

Technology, live-streaming and the digital world are some of the newest trends to impact the event world. Audio-activated lights that move to the beat of the music and create powerful energy on the dance floor create a hi-tech event. DJs can control an App that synchronizes light- and color-activated bracelets, creating a pulsing effect on the dance floor.

F lowers for Everyone!

Breakdown your centerpieces, wrap and seal with a custom sticker, and send them home with each guest.

This beautiful, fresh parting gift will make certain your event will live on in their heart and their home.

Wait! Are we Inside?

Michigan weather can only be described with one wordunpredictable. Don’t let that stop you from bringing the outdoors inside! A tall, weeping willow tree strung with soft twinkling lights and hovering over the dance floor can emulate starlight in the night sky. Guests will wonder if they’re still outdoors! Bring nature inside and you can transform the feeling of your entire venue.

new

food to groups of people. An alternative to menu-in-hand, sit-down dining and traditional caterers, food trucks offer the convenience of having favorite foods right outside a specific location. Originally, food trucks were set up at fairs and markets to serve tasty favorites to large crowds. Now, many of these trucks offer fullservice, top-notch catering on wheels with menu options that would impress any foodie.

A food truck is a welcomed on-site addition to any event. No matter the location or time of year, a food truck is always ready to serve. Bite-sized finger foods and late-night snacks taste so much better when they are made to order and passed through the beautiful façade of a food truck window.

Sweet treats are a must have, no matter the event, and there are so many sugary, creative options on wheels.

Food trucks are food for the eyes as well as the belly.

Feasting from a food truck makes for a memorable event. Whatever the theme of your party, you’ll find a food truck that fits both your taste buds and your style. We have highlighted a few of our favorites. The trucks are perfect for golf outings, company picnics, graduation parties, country club events, chic fundraisers, weddings, mitzvahs– any place where people gather and love to eat and drink.

no matter the location or time of year a food truck is always ready to serve!

expertsdish “When working with parents, party planners and decorators, it’s best to meet all together at some point and establish responsibilities.

This will make a much less stressful day-of-event. There will be no surprises.”

Elaine Matthews, High Velocity Sports

“When planning your event, trust the venue to know what works best and what doesn’t. They have seen it all in their own locale!”

Jason Dritsan, Punch Bowl Social

“The first thing you should do when planning an event is determine your budget! Venues and food options will be easier to navigate leaving money left over for décor and entertainment.”

“When selecting your venue, it’s important to discuss the full day agenda including the set up and tear down time frame for your selected vendors and decorators.”

“Don’t be afraid to be creative in your food choices. It gives everyone an opportunity to try something new. And it makes for a memorable party!”

Courtney Kubit, Diamond Center at Suburban Collection Showplace

Julie Herman, Annabel’s and Co. Catering

Becca Schlussel, Star Trax Events

“Trust your team! It is our main priority to ensure you have an event that is unique to you. It doesn’t matter who you hire, this industry is jam packed with incredibly talented professionals- take our advice, we only have your best interest in mind!”

Jenna Urbauer, Mandell Display Design

“Customize & Personalize!

Stickers, window/table decals, pillows with your logo, cocktail napkins with fun sayings, Snapchat filters etc. all add to your event without adding a lot to the budget!”

Shannon McConnell, Star Trax Events

Nothing beats tips from people that plan parties for a living. Mothers and friends may offer hand holding and input, but do they really know all the secrets?

From room design and layout to the latest and coolest trends - we asked local experts for their guidance. Here’s what they had to share!

“When picking an untraditional venue, you will most likely be working with more vendors to make your event come to life. Make sure to keep the venue in the loop on all outside parties that will be in the building to ensure a smooth and timely set up.”

Chelsea Pulice, Michigan Science Center

“Pack a family emergency kit with extra shoes, extra shirt, medications, extra contacts & contact solution, lipstick, lactaid, epi pen, inhaler, etc. that will help your family get through the night without worry.”

Pat Blackwell, The Red Coat Ladies

“Never be afraid to do something that hasn’t been done before.

There are suppliers who can make dreams come true. If you’re a visionary, work with visionary suppliers. Let’s create awe and wonder in events.”

Ben Slayter, Waltz on Water by Performance Staging

“Keep it Simple! Let your décor & floral speak for itself. Focus less on bringing in color through linens and more on accents; whether it be floral, custom décor, lighting or a beautiful water goblet that ties it all together.”

Jen Ajlouny, Star Trax Events

“Don’t do assigned seating for kids - they want to sit with their friends. Don’t waste your time designing and mapping out seating arrangements.”

Jennifer Nagle, Dave and Buster’s

“Determine what the guidelines are for postage BEFORE deciding on your invite. Oversized and square envelopes will be more costly.”

“When choosing your venue, find one that is the right size for your crowd. The more intimate the space, the better the experience for your guests. A space too large will feel empty and cold!”

Danielle Hannah, Star Trax Events

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS we’re with you every step of the way Our Advisory Team is a consulting service available to Star Trax clients designed to assist in the planning, design, production and management of a special event.

No matter the kind of event - gala, corporate or lifecycle - we are always up for a challenge.

Over the years we’ve been asked a lot of great questions. Here are our favorites.

Q: WHEN STAR TRAX PROVIDES ADVISORY TEAM SERVICES – HOW DO YOU SELECT YOUR VENDORS? GEOFF KRETCHMER:

Q: WHEN SHOULD I SEND OUT MY INVITATIONS AND WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO GET RSVPS? HARRIS VAN CLEEF:

The first step in planning your event is to get to know you. We tailor all vendor referrals to fit the specific client based on their style, personality and budget.

After meeting with you and getting to know more about you and your event, we will put together the team that will be best suited for you.

We recommend sending invitations 8-10 weeks in advance to ensure that they arrive in plenty of time. While some people are using email for RSVP, we have found that mailed responses are more accurate. RSVP should be requested no later than 3 weeks before the event. Junk mail, firewalls and incorrectly spelled email addresses can create issues with digital responses.

Q: I’M HAVING 200 GUESTS, WHAT SIZE DANCE FLOOR DO I NEED? BECCA SCHLUSSEL: 24 x 24 is a great size for 200 guests.

Not any larger. Better to have a dance floor that is on the smaller side if need be – not way too big!

23

Q: SHOULD I PUT AN END TIME ON MY INVITATION? DANIELLE HANNAH: Unless you are planning an open house with a start and a finish, we recommend letting your event end organically.

Q: WHAT DO I NEED AT MY EVENT? JEN AJLOUNY: Every event is different and should be tailored to your specific needs and expectations. There is no rule book– work with your event team to bring your vision to life.

Q: HOW MANY HORS D’OEUVRES DO I NEED? SHANNON MCCONNELL: 3-5 different passed hors d’oeuvres are customary. If your budget allows, it is great to have an additional station or two. Some guests will love the ability to help themselves without having to search for a server. Don’t skimp on your hors d’oeuvres - it’s a guest favorite!
