The STAR Holiday event is an annual celebration of Gaylord National's STARS (employees) and partner vendors. My team coordinated the event which occurred today, 12/15 from 11 am until 5:30 pm.
The Night Before - Bare tables bear promise of wonderful event. No decor yet. The podium eventually goes as the General Manager prefers a less rigid presentation. Note to self, always have handheld AND lav mic available.
Early in the Morning - 7 am on event day, and the ballroom starts to take shape. Light tresses are up, banquet buffets are in, and games are out on the floor.
Birch Centerpieces- Went with birch centerpieces to create an allusion back to ICE!, Gaylord National's new attraction - simple, relevant, and affordable.
Welcome to the Big Show - The event is a hit with the STARS. Looking forward to spreading more of the Smart Chick love on Thursday at the United Communities Against Poverty event inside of Gaylord National.
