While it is still unclear when it'll be safe to return completely to large in-person gatherings, there are ways to approach event planning now that ensure social engagement and avoid Zoom fatigue. Many events and meetings are already incorporating some sort of virtual experience into their programming - whether that be sharing session recordings, live streaming or tweeting an event using a dedicated hashtag, however not all events are taking advantage of providing a true hybrid meeting experience.
Special occasions deserve celebrating, whether a major milestone or personal achievement. From anniversaries and weddings to retirement and birthday parties, you deserve to celebrate in style and have experienced professional assistance. Bravo Productions is an award-winning, full-service event planning and production company, specializing in staging corporate, association, government, military, non-profit and social functions nationwide.
The best way to ensure that your event runs smoothly is to pair our clients with the best caterer with your event and event venue. Some caterers work best when they have access to an on-site prep kitchen, while others throw amazing pop-up dinners outdoors with food stations. Instead of worrying about all the logistics yourself, Bravo Productions team coordinates all the details to ensure the flow is seamless and integrated into the overall event and meeting program.Chef Craig Kohut courageously battled Type 1 diabetes since he was 9-years-old.

Imagine that you are planning your wedding and the amount of details is overwhelming. Suddenly three magical uncles appear and say, "relax, we're going to handle everything and it's going to be wedding of your dreams." That's Thom, Greg, and Craig at Bravo and they are simply wonderful. I cannot recommend them highly enough. All our church friends can not stop talking about how they transformed the gymnasium-like parish hall into something beautiful.
We didn't know it was possible. My wedding had a medieval tone, so they found an enormous, beautiful painted backdrop of a medieval cathedral interior and covered a wall with it. They banished the harsh overhead lights and used ambient light on the walls to create this glowing amber light accented with high candelabras on all the tables. It was magic.
They also hung lights on all the trees in the church courtyard, which made it a beautiful environment for the champagne toast. Bravo made everything more beautiful than we imagined it could be. Craig is a first rate chef. I've gone to expensive restaurants and not had food this delicious. We keep getting compliments on the food from our friends.
We also appreciated the timeline, revised and updated daily, to cover every aspect of the planning and execution of our wedding day. They also had ready answers for all our questions about wedding etiquette. This was an enormous help. I also want you to know that they came in under-budget. The guys at Bravo made us feel loved and cherished and that it was their personal mission to give us a unforgettably wonderful wedding day. I wish for anyone reading this the joyful wedding experience that Bravo gave us.
