2007 Ohio Governor’s
Inaugural Ball


Sometimes clients may go in different directions before coming to EventCo. And this Gala was one of those times! After working through the development and planning of the incoming State of Ohio’s Governor’s Inaugural Ball, the client and their selected planning and design team determined that they were going in the wrong direction. And then EventCo was called into the Governor’s offices…. just 6 DAYS before the huge event!!


 

   
With only six mere days to regroup, relight, redesign, recreate and professionally produce this massive gala, our work was cut out for us with not a second to waste!

The selected fifty-eight thousand square foot facility had to be transformed into a mesmerizing gala to astound all! The new First Lady insisted on ‘blue’, and no floral. That was our only inspiration. Utilizing over 60, 20’ high burlap-balled and leafless trees, each covered with mini blue LED lights, and installing massive clusters of various sized suspended white Japanese lanterns, we began the task of filling the space.

 
Stunning room lighting accented the installations, dance area and stage. The trees and natural décor created vignette areas within the monstrous venue, allowing for more comfortable spaces to mingle. Centerpieces were created with a variety of glass containers from 3 inches to 4 feet high, utilizing Ohio branches, mosses, lichens, stones and greenery, which were then highlighted with mini LED lighting…the overall effect was stunning!

When famed Aaron Tippon took the main stage, which was accented with stunning fiber-optic draping, we knew the event was stellar! But did we mention that this 6-day event production and transformation hosted over 11,000 anxious guests?! It was a Governor’s Ball that will never be forgotten!
