Everything went well for Girari's Spring Decorating Shootout: the weather was warm, the Century Plaza's poolside patio was welcoming and the decorating teams went all out creating excitingly different decor on Girari's glass tables.
The table decor overall was of such quality it was extremely tough for the judges. In addition to the one hour they took to individually view the nine tables, the judges sequestered themselves
at the patio lounge for an additional hour of discussion . . .
Randy Fuhrman Events was awarded First Place($5,000 in rental credit from Girari), followed by Calamigos Ranch($2,000),Joe Moller Events($1,000) Fresh Events($1,000) and Sterling Engagements($1,000). On the judges' score cards there weren't many points separating the teams.
Pamela Ferrari Productions won the Peoples Choice Award, a tally of the
event guests' votes.
Sterling Engagements also won the Hyatt award, chosen by the Hyatt event department staff as the decorated table they would most like to have in their hotel.
And a "first" for our event: Calamigos Ranch added an exciting, although risky, surprise in its decor. See if you can spot it in the team photos below.
