Nothing says WOW! Like Truss!

  We were recently asked to design two show stopper feature Cooking Stations at the Lexington County VIP Night!  The theme of the event was "Building Lexington" ...with all of the manufacturing plant growth, residential growth and downtown overhauling going on it was only fitting to provide a "Construction Concept" 
With a bit of Vegas flare, of course...reminding me of my chef days at Caesars Palace where dreamt up all sorts of ways to showcase our food in style...we decided the go big or go home approach was the best option here...and boy did we make a statement !!!!  And coupled with the fabulous chefs from Blue Marlin Signature Catering a Culinary WOW factor was born !!!!  So much so that two nights later it was still the buzz at the Chamber of Commerce Meeting !! 

A Post Chef Shot !  We constructed large crates and hanging food stations!  10 foot truss and lets not forget...

"Chefs at Work" custom signage ! 

Once the chefs got there and added in their cooking stations - Chafers - Beautiful food displays and culinary treats it really became a much talked about and well photographed featured food station!

And even though we did not design the florals for the event the flowers placed in cinder block and displayed in Paint Cans on the tables,

A second Station was created for Desserts with Aluminum Stud Walls..."Food Blue Prints" and Paint Splattered Muslin Swag!  

Our design team created a paint can candy bar on 6 foot ladders for another play on building

  All in All this was such a fun event and our fabricating team had a ball "Building Lexington"  featured cooking stations for this VIP event!  

And the Winner is???

   We are often hired to design vendor booth spaces for trade shows and bridal shows.  One of our clients asked for our help to create a refined booth space for the SCSAE Trade Show in Columbia South Carolina.  This years theme was "Plan a Winning Event!"  (Sports Inspired Theme for the booth spaces)  Our client, a well known Local Catering Company and Iconic Restaurant asked for our help in creating something that would show off their culinary skills inspired by this theme.  Naturally with the look of the restaurant and catering venue and its great involvement in Gamecocks Sports at USC we went Vintage Gamecock Sports all the way...and in the end...

                                   the winner for "Best Booth" goes to....

                  Blue Marlin Signature Catering!

               

  Black & Garnet were naturally the colors!  We created sign graphics of large scale color food photos and combined them with recent photos of our mighty Gamecocks in celebration for their recent championship wins, but with a vintage twist, champion trophy cups, sporting equipment and a fabulous Vintage Fireplace mantel with faux flame special effects lighting created a vintage sports lounge feel and Wow'd the crowd!  Certainly "one of a kind" and earning them this coveted award at the Trade Show!  Congratulations! We were so happy we could help!
