So excited and honored when asked by one of my clients asked me to help with the Auction for the Pinecrest School in Fort Lauderdale where her kids attended. Together with “exciting energy” of Auction chairs Steve Feder and Melissa Ackerman , we got to work. The theme was ” Let’s Go Back to the 80’s”. In collaboration with The Event Group, the ballroom at the Harbor Beach Marriott was transformed into a total throwback to the 80’s. An 80’s cover band entertained the guest’s with a surprise appearance by Tone Loc who had everyone rapping on the dance floor. Guests arrived in outfits inspired by ” Miami Vice”, Michael Jackson, Madonna and of course the infamous adidas original tracksuits.

Decor details. The room was draped in white with uplighting which changed color through the evening. The tables were covered in ” hot neon” colored linens from Over the Top linens. The black and white dance floor and black chivari chairs with white chair pads from Atlas Party Rental was a great combination with the colorful linens. Each table had an over- sized light box with favorite memories of the 80’s – The Love Boat , Miami Vice , Dirty Dancing etc. The base of each centerpiece was covered with retro candy popular in the 80’s. An 80’s backdrop covered the wall behind the stage. The auction was a huge success with guests not only supporting the school in a generous manner but also having a great evening.
