RTH Brings 2016 Today’s Bride Show To Another Level!

We loved the 2016 Today’s Bride January bridal shows at The John S. Knight Center and Cleveland’s IX Center! The energy level at every show was beyond contagious. From attendees to exhibitors, everyone genuinely wanted to be there (us especially)! Our team had a blast participating in the shows and meeting hundreds of newly engaged couples from the Cleveland, Akron, Canton and surrounding areas.

The Fashion Show:  

The Today’s Bride fashion shows have become a ‘must-see’ attraction at the Today’s Bride shows and for the past eight years, we have been proud to be their exclusive entertainment and audio-visual partner.

At this year’s’ fashion show, Rock The House’s own DJ Flightz and MC Nick Duvé kept the energy going for both the models and the audiences.  Over 70 fashions from 10 different companies graced this years runway! Spotify even had a spike in tags that day from the audience searching for the amazing mashup mixes we selected.

Our Built-“Up” Booth:   

Now, as an exhibitor, we wanted to stand out from the crowd and be seen from all areas of the convention centers. So, we decided to build UP!  Yes, we were the first two-story exhibit at a Today’s Bride bridal show.

Today's Bride Booth

We incorporated marquee L-O-V-E letters, chandeliers and uplighting to create a fun and unique booth. The DJ spinning tunes on the second floor was the cherry on top (literally)!

The Today’s Bride Show Manager, Jennifer Fyffe, said it best:

“Rock The House, you set your own bar higher every year. This year was no exception. Not only did you win the Best Booth Award, you won Best-in-Show. Truly a show-stopper remembered by all!”

Oh, and the best part of it all? We’ve got it on video! Go ahead, check it out!

Rock The House goes Over the Edge for Hattie Larlham

Over the Top Production Team goes Over the Edge for Charity

At Rock The House we always take our production over the top, and thanks to the fundraising efforts of a local charity, we literally got to go over the top of a building! This past Saturday our marketing coordinator, Tim Long, participated in Over the Edge for Hattie Larlham. Over the Edge sends participants who have raised pledges rappelling down an office building in a signature event for non-profits. Hattie Larlham is a Northeast Ohio organization that provides assistance to children and adults with developmental diseases.

The event collected more than $140,000 at Hattie Larlham. As one of the sponsors, we were allowed to send one of our employees Over the Edge. When the office asked who want to repel down the 22-story PNC building in Akron, Tim shot his hand up with enthusiasm.

Tim showed his excitement on many levels for the event – “I love to participate in any type of urban adventure, and joining a cause that helps other people is truly what makes it special. Not only do I get to represent Rock The House by repelling down a building, but it fits with our values in helping others in the Cleveland plus region.”

One of the features that we provided was our latest product called SocialCast. SocialCast creates a feed of social media posts from event attendees using a specific hashtag. With customizable options and multiple social networks, users can become part of the visuals at an event.

You can learn more about Hattie Larlham and Over the Edge on their websites. To find out more about Rock The House and our services you can find us online or give us a call to see how we can help your event – 440.232.7625

Welcome To The Family

Rock The House Entertainment Group, Inc. is pleased to announce the acquisition of Zone Entertainment, a boutique entertainment company specializing in Bar/Bat Mitzvahs and school dances.

This announcement marks a significant benchmark in the history of both companies and is consistent with the goals and trajectories of their individual growth. Rock The House and Zone Entertainment have very similar beginnings making the perfect storm for this partnership. Both companies have shown mutual respect over the years with very open dialogue.

Rock The House Entertainment Group, Inc. is the parent company that owns and operates the Rock The House, Selective Sound Entertainment, and now the Zone Entertainment brands within Northeast and Central Ohio and Western Pennsylvania.

Rock The House, an industry leading event production and entertainment company has rapidly grown since its inception in 1999. Rock The House has been recognized by the International Special Events Society, CBC Magazine, SBN Magazine, and Today’s Bride Magazine for unparalleled creativity and commitment to world-class customer service.

Founded in 2006 by Jeff Dick, Zone Entertainment has quickly become an entertainment leader in Northeast Ohio specializing in youth-based social events. Throughout the past seven years, Zone Entertainment has achieved a dedicated clientele, including many of Northeast Ohio’s largest public and private educational institutions, and exceptional growth in the areas of Bar/Bat Mitzvah celebrations.

As a boutique entertainment company, Zone Entertainment has prided itself in its ability to custom tailor each event to meet their guests’ specific needs, an extensive staff training program, and groundbreaking creativity within the special-events market. None of that will change; Zone Entertainment will continue to operate as an independent brand within the Rock The House family of companies with Jeff Dick remaining as President and overseeing all day-to-day operations.

Rock The House will independently continue as an industry leader promoting the RTH-branded, youth-based events inclusive of educational events, Bar/Bat Mitzvah celebrations, and community events. Rock The House will also further its agenda to expand operations and design efforts within the Corporate/Non-profit, Wedding, Production, Rental, Retail, and Installation divisions of Rock The House.

While both brands will operate independently within their respective locations, this acquisition will lead to higher quality and increased efficiency for clients of both brands. Through an expansion of specialty products and services, shared operational resources, and combined creative collaboration, both Rock The House and Zone Entertainment look forward to continuing to exceed clients’ expectations and bring new and reimagined special-event concepts to our region.

Matt Radicelli, Founder/Owner of Rock The House:

“While participating in the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program, I saw an inspiring quote: ‘Anyone that can be your competitor, can be your partner’. Over the last several years, Jeff has built a first-class company that is well respected in the event community. We look forward to fostering Zone’s continued growth. All of our clients will benefit from this acquisition… more energy, more diversity, and more creativity.”

Jeff Dick, Founder/President of Zone Entertainment:

“Both Rock The House and Zone have extremely talented professionals on each crew and bringing the teams together will create an ultimate recipe for success, innovation, and opportunity.”

“Keeping our guests’ best interests in mind, we are excited to be able to offer all of the positives this collaboration has to offer, while keeping the personal touch the brand has become known for. Zone will now be able to further expand its offerings to include RTH-exclusive products and services, provide a larger backup network if/when needed, and accelerate growth of the Zone brand and quality with the added resources Rock The House has to offer.”

Neil Leeson & Be Seated Holiday Open House

Starting The Holidays Off Right!

We were honored to help designer and florist, Neil Leeson celebrate the holidays with his clients and friends on November 19, 2013. His holiday open house showed visitors the latest in event design, rentals, and trends at their very spacious showroom. An event industry veteran, Neil knew just how to take care of his guests! Hors d’oeuvres, wine, signature floral mocktails, desserts and coffee made for a true holiday celebration. Neil’s Decor and Floral Retail Store also had a variety of boutique offerings that would make amazing holiday gifts (including Bacon scented Man-Candles!).

We were honored to be asked by Neil to accent his designs with lighting. Guests knew immediately they were at the right place with the red lighting accenting the building’s facade. Washing his showroom walls in light created the event atmosphere he was looking for that helped put everyone in the mood. Our wireless pin spotting lights accented the aspects of Neil’s design and Be Seated‘s rentals that he wanted to really pop. Tying everything together was new pieces of L’nique’s contemporary linens.

Working with someone like Neil is great because he knows exactly what he wants and we just make it happen. Working hand in hand with high level collaborators elevates everyone’s efforts and gives our clients the best possible experiences.

Graffiti Rock! Digital Graffiti Wall

Cleveland’s premier full-service entertainment company, Rock The House Entertainment, rolled out our newest product recently, Graffiti Rock! Digital Graffiti Wall.

Rock The House is known throughout Cleveland, Columbus, and the Akron/Canton region of Ohio for their high energy MCs and DJs. The word is also getting out more and more that our lighting design team is second to none. What you may not know is that Rock The House has many exciting extra entertainment options that can make a big impact on your event.

One such innovation is Graffiti Rock! Digital Graffiti Wall. This technology provides intuitive controls for your guests and engages them in a fun activity for a variety of occasions. The guest uses one of our custom paint can controllers and holds down a button to “draw” on our large projection screen. Projected on the screen is a photo of the guest or any other aspect of your event. Each time it is used, it can be a new image. This activity is a fun interactive experience for the guest drawing on the picture as well as other guests who get to watch it taking place.

Once the guest is finished drawing, Rock The House can print out their work surrounded by a custom digital “framing” around the photo. This frame on the image can include the name and date of the event as well as incorporating colors and themes.

This concept provides your guests with a fun activity that is inherently creative as well as a personalized favor for them to remember the event by. Visit the Rock The House Website for other creative entertainment concepts and a list of all of our exciting services.
