Event Spotlight: Visit Salt Lake Neon Reception

All of the neon lights were shining bright at the Visit Salt Lake Neon reception. And we were in awe at all the things: the decor, the ambiance, the mouthwatering menu—and of course, the amazing guests we were able to serve! Visit Salt Lake was hosting leaders from all over the world, and when they asked us to WOW this audience, we knew we would be able to create a tasty, fun and creative setting for them.

The urban, neon vibe featured gorgeous stations with decorative neon lighting, vibrant florals and joyful acrylic signage. To make sure that all in attendance would feel like they were represented, we created diverse food stations. This was the perfect way to truly make this event a memorable one and give attendees a taste of different cultural foods. Take a closer look at these international-based food stations and the one-of-a-kind event.
