RTH_Jack_o_lanterns

With the leaves falling from the trees and the summer heat drifting away, it can only mean one thing; Fall is finally here! With Fall comes pumpkins, football games, flannels, and of course, Halloween. As the days get shorter and the nights get longer, Halloween is the perfect time to throw some of the craziest parties of the year. As your friends and neighbors prepare by decorating their houses and making fun costumes, here is your guide to throwing a spectacularly spooky soiree they won’t soon forget! Putting on a Halloween celebration may seem like a monumental task, but really it can be broken down into three main facets: Lighting, Special Enhancements, and Entertainment. Luckily, Rock The House is not only able to provide you with all of these things, but we’ll even walk you through each step of the planning process! Here are a few of our ideas, if you dare to dream big!

Lighting:

Lighting is a very powerful tool for any event you may be throwing because it allows you to not only transform the look of any space, but also the mood that is set by that space. Orange uplighting on a bare wall is a great way to give your guests a mysterious feeling as they arrive, or use it on some white drapery to make your own wall! Black lights are also known to set an eerie tone, and can be a great addition to any room’s design. While these lights are used to set the room’s general atmosphere, there are also advanced lighting options that will help bring your party to life after it kicks off! Strobe lights, hazers, and blinders are all great ways to turn your average room into a full-fledged Halloween production. Freedom sticks and gobos are some other good additions that can really bring a space together nicely.

Special Enhancements:

Once you’ve got the lighting in place, it’s time to polish off your production with some extra flare. Fog machines are a great accent to our advanced lighting choices, or you can add some chandeliers to give the room a touch of aged elegance! Also don’t forget about any of our fantastic extra entertainment options, such as Rockshots, LED Ping Pong, Giant Foosball, and more! Our selection of games and extra activities are a great way to ensure that guests will stay entertained both on, and off the dancefloor!

Photo Opportunity:

Another special enhancement that is a must-have for any Halloween party is one of our many different photo opportunities! Photos booth options have become a new staple piece for guest interaction, and can be very appealing to those who may be a bit too shy to put their dancing shoes on. Not to mention that if you’re throwing a costume party, your guests will be itching to get a picture of themselves in their new attire! Add social media sharing, and guests can easily share their photos directly to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or even have their pictures sent to them instantly through e-mail or text message.

Entertainment:

Three Waiters at Landerhaven by Party411 Events

These Servers Can Sing!

We once again had the privileges to be chosen to work for Party411 Events on Saturday, September 8th at Executive Caterers by Landerhaven. How often is can a birthday party boast national entertainment, a living sushi bar, and a massive bar carved out of ice? Well, this one had all that and more! We don’t want you to think this event felt overblown…far from it. This was actually a very relaxed event with friends sharing an evening together to celebrate a milestone birthday. Because the execution of the event involved so many high quality details, the flow of the event felt very natural.

Every aspect of this event had a global feel. The menu by Executive Caterers allowed guests to roam the room while trying menu items inspired by a variety of countries.The decor was also globally-inspired and very tasteful. This theme was taken to the next level by The Three Waiters. These singers were obviously on a national level and it just made the whole evening that much more impressive.

We really want to thank everyone at Party411 Events for involving us in this event. Any time we can offer our sound or lighting services to an event of this caliber is a treat. If you are interested in working with an event professional with a proven track record of excellent collaborations, contact us today! www.RTHgroup.com

Cleveland Event Lighting at The Sarah Benedict House

Cleveland Lighting DJs, Rock The House, were honored to be chosen as the lighting designers on December 15, 2011 by Personal Touch by Covesa event planners. This event was held at the historic Sarah Benedict House in downtown Cleveland, Ohio. The event’s goal was to show the venue off to prospective clients for event space rental. Along with Rock The House, a small number of select preferred event professionals were asked to participate in this showcase.

Rock The House was able to create a custom look for this event through lighting design. Our uplights throughout the building created a really warm look for guests. In addition to the lighting design inside the facility, we were also able to create a visually interesting look on the facade of the building as well. Since the event took place in December, we were decided to project a snowflake design on the building with our gobos.
