April Affairs

The month of April has been pretty busy around here, so we haven’t had much time to share our usual cool finds and event trends, but we thought we would give you a sneak peak into what we have been up to lately.  Spring gala season at MK has been defined by a little bit of this and a little bit of that. A pinch of science, a dash of dance and a lot of A-Listers...

As people who have chosen to go into the event industry, we cannot claim to be “sciency” individuals. But we have to say that we love to get our yearly science fix while working with The World Science Festival on their annual gala. This was our third year working with WSF, so we were looking for ways to keep things fresh. This year's program was different because it introduced the science of food. We brought in culinary innovators such as Homaro Cantu and Michael Cirino among others, all of whom have a passion for molecular gastronomy. They gave eye-catching demonstrations and produced tasty concoctions such as carbonated fruit and ice cream that looked like popcorn!

Moving from science to celebs, we had the privilege of helping out Time Inc. with their VIP guests for the White House Correspondents Dinner. This is always one of the most exciting weekends for us each year. There is something about that April weekend in D.C. with the cherry blossoms out and the whole city buzzing with big names in movies, television, sports, and of course politics. Click here to look at some of the red carpet photos.

D.C. was so gorgeous this past weekend, we just had to snap a pic of the beautiful tulips

We have a few more events before the end of spring so keep checking in for more updates. In the meantime, we hope you are enjoying the warm weather while we go take a snooze outside...
