Almost done with November. I can't Believe how fast the time goes when your working here at MKG. November was full of fun events and I am glad I got to work on the Cipriani event. What a beautiful venue they have at their 42nd street location. The event went smoothly as does all our events. A personal favorite moment of the night was when the ceremony was over and Ms lady Bunny started the after party. We all danced it up and had a great time as we watched Ms Zeena Divanni strut her stuff on the stairs. We all danced for about an hour and didn't want to leave the dance floor because the music was oh so good. 

Back at the office everyone is getting their talent ready for the retreat. I cant imagine how some of the performances will turn out, we have alot of talent here at MKG. But besides preparing for the talent show everyone has been pretty busy with events. The interns have been working in collaboration with Lizzie and Diane for our clients at Leahman Maupin . We really want to fill that space with some holiday events. We all called over a few hundred companies requesting their event planners contact information in hopes of getting some emails. It was all a numbers game because with a combined effort we managed to get over a hundred contacts for our email blast.Im confident that we will get some positive feedback. I hope this work makes Diane and Maneesh very proud. That's all for now. Hope everyone has a great retreat.

Just another typical day at work....

Projects!

Hello all!

As everyone knows, me and fellow interns are working on our intern projects. In December, we'll unveil our work for everyone to see! But, until then, a sneak preview as to what's been going on.

Among other tasks, we each are putting together this event from start to finish. From catering, to venue research, to lighting and sound, design, decor, props.... it's a lot to juggle! Fortunately, it's teaching us quite a bit about the underworkings of every event we've helped out with/attended/heard of around the office. Above all, it's been a great way to learn more about some of our vendors -- and hopefully find some new ones!

This week, our "clients" should be looking over our second round of design -- decor and furniture and props -- which we've all been working hard on. I'm excited to see how Robert and Rachel's design is coming together. Although we work side by side, we're often engrossed in our own projects to take a moment and appreciate each other's work.

So... hold on to your hats -- come December, we'll blow you away with our fantastic presentations! : )

Come one, Come all to Lehman Maupin!

With the phones ringing off the hook MKG Productions has been in fast and furious mode, entering brand new and exciting terrain in the world of event planning. Speaking of new and exciting, MKG has recently taken under its wing the Lehmann Maupin Gallery. Located at 540 W. 26th Street this gallery is nothing short of amazing. A trendy alternative to the typicall raw space, Lehmann Maupin emphasizes style and elegance with their beautiful artwork displayed throughout the gallery. Accommodating 300 standing or 215 seating and separated into two gallery spaces, Lehman Maupin is the perfect space for any occasion. The private gallery at the rear of the venue provides a great area for intimate gatherings or company meetings. The venue is fashioned after an industrial loft design, featuring beautiful travertine floors and museum hight ceilings with skylights. The exposed ceiling gives the space an industrial feel, another attribute unique to Lehmann Maupin. Additionally, there is a large balcony overlooking the grand gallery which not only provides an amazing view but is also perfect for lighting and a DJ. Not is only the gallery a great venue for parties but is also fully accommodated with an in house kitchen in the basement, perfect for catered events. Please be advised that this is not your normal, gloomy basement! It is a large finished basement useful for storage and extra work space, an incredible addition to this unparalleled venue. I HOPE YOU ENJOYED YOUR VIRTUAL TRIP THROUGH HEAVEN ON EARTH AT THE LEHMAN MAUPIN GALLERY! :)
