Atlantic City DJ Expo 2012

/in /by

Continuing Education in Pursuit of Excellence

Rock The House Entertainment attends a variety of conferences and events all over the country each year. One of the most important trips is to the DJ Expo put on by DJ Times. This year the event was in Atlantic City and Matt, Shawn, and Travis had the opportunity to attend this conference and trade show with some of the best in the entertainment industry in attendance.

Being able to learn from the best in the country means our client’s events will benefit from a larger pool of experience. Upon their return to the office Matt, Shawn, and Travis debriefed the team on what they learned and how we can improve for our clients. This was Travis and Shawn’s first appearance at this conference and their experiences differed because of their unique backgrounds.

As a DJ and MC for over 9 years, Shawn was inspired by watching and listening to the top Masters of Ceremony in the country. Attending the DJ Times 2012 DJ of the Year Competition inspired him to plan on competing in future competitions. Travis recently started with the company as both a Client Cordinator and DJ. A big takeaway for Travis was just how different each client is and ways to get to know them better in order to create a more personalized event.

With over 400 companies and 2,000 in attendance, it was also impressive that Rock The House was able to give back to this community with our combined experience. Shawn even won the freestyle dance competition! One powerful quote from the event really impacted our team: “You have one chance to get the picture right, to capture the emotion, to create the signature moment”. This is why we are committed to always growing and learning…our clients’ events are THAT important.

Transforming A Tent With Lighting

/in , , /by

Kirkbrides North Canton Tent Reception

On July 7, 2012, Rock The House Entertainment provided lighting for a Kirkbrides Wedding Planners Reception inside an Everything Tented Tent in North Canton, Ohio. Those are the facts. Before that could happen, though, our teams worked together in heat of around 105 degrees for two days in order to get the perfect look our client was looking for. Creating a vibrant club-like atmosphere in the middle of a field doesn’t happen through magic. Our teams collaborated by working hand in hand to create a venue in tough conditions because we’re committed to creating the best event locations where and whenever our clients choose.

Kirkbrides really put together an exceptional team for a wedding reception. Setting up an beautiful outdoor reception venue for hundreds of guests is rarely easy but Kirkbrides knew who has the most experience doing it RIGHT and chose their partners accordingly. This is at the heart of what great event planners do. They know how to organize and coach a team of professionals that are right for the job. Knowing who has the experience, passion, and creativity necessary for the client’s needs is a difficult task that they don’t get enough credit for.

In addition to knowing who is needed to execute the functions of the event correctly, the Kirkbrides team did an excellent job with the myriad of details that this beautiful wedding had. Our lighting designer was on-hand for the entire event to create the specific vision of Kirkbrides and the client. In addition to our uplights, dance floor lighting design, decorative gobo lighting designs on the tent ceiling, gobo monogram on the dance floor, and generators for power, we also provided our elegant wedding reception chandeliers. These chandeliers are a great way to take an outdoor event to the next level of class as distinction.

Let us show you why we should be part of your team – Rock The House Entertainment Group

39th Annual ZippityZooDoo in Cleveland

2012 Cleveland Metroparks – Zoolin Rouge

This annual event is really special to us. Not only do we all support the Cleveland Metropark Zoo but it is a prefect chance to work with some of the best event professionals on a truly collaborative event. Everyone had an important role to play in this very successful event. Over $285,000 were raised including auction pledges!

Rock The House was selected to provide tent lighting, our Green Screen Photo Magic, and the silent auction video presentation for this fundraiser. Our silent auction video package is something we are very proud of. Our designers create dynamic images to entice attendees to bid on the fabulous donated items that the Zoo was offering. Not only is the creative process of this exciting to us but it is also a way for us to impact donations directly.

Being able to show off our ability to create a WOW factor in a tented event space is something we really excel at. This event had some of the most breath taking temporary structures from Everything Tented. We saw each guest’s jaw drop when they saw this event space.

We learned a lot about our Cleveland Metropark Zoo while at this event. Did you know that over 3,000 animals live on this 183 acre venue? It’s a pretty impressive event venue on top of being a staple of what makes Cleveland special.

Thanks to all our fellow vendors for the opportunity to show off this wonderful location:

Also, thanks to Clue In Cleveland for all the great tweets.

Wedding Lighting at Shaker Heights Country Club

Wedding Reception Teamwork

When Kirkbrides Wedding Planning calls, we answer! Kirkbrides put together an AMAZING team for this Shaker Heights Country Club wedding reception. It’s such a pleasure to work with other professionals at the top of their game. No aspect of this wedding wasn’t absolutely fantastic. You could instantly tell that every detail was thought of which lead to a smooth and very FUN party.

As the lighting professionals on this event, it was our task to create the client’s unique vision for this already breath-taking venue ballroom. This couple was looking for a effect that was beyond just uplighting. Our uplights helped wash the room in their specific colors but it was our on-site lighting designer who created an experience that paired with the live band’s performance. Jerry Bruno Production’s “The Orchestra” coordinated their set list with our lighting designer in an effort that took full advantage of the their strengths.

For a list of all the great event professionals that worked together on this wedding, see below.
