Gracie's Gorgeous, Record-Inspired Mitzvah

Gracie's mitzvah this past weekend was nothing short of exquisite. From the record-themed decor to the custom-made confections to the crowd clearly bursting with excitement, the evening was everything a milestone celebration should be. We were truly impressed by the creativity, attention to detail, and sense of design that shined through, throughout the night. 

Below are just a few of our favorite things from a spectacular night. We hope this brings you inspiration!

Planning from afar? Virtual Tours of HELEN MILLS Are Here!

Google Street View at HELEN MILLS Event Space and Theater

Our clients come from across the world to host events at HELEN MILLS, traveling from places as far as England, Bulgaria, and Los Angeles, to places so close that we can (literally) wave to them.  This means for some that they can't easily stop in to see the space, envision how their guests will spend their day, or plan for decor and signage to make their event that much more special. 

To help make the planning process seamless for our current and future clients alike, we've just released our very first Google Inside Street View Virtual Tour!

The virtual tour features:

  • A close-up view of each part of the venue

  • A selection from of our in-house furniture inventory

  • One of three curtains we provide that add intimacy to the space (hung at the entry table)

  • Sample floral arrangements designed by the very talented Merriel Weston

  • A peek into the theater greenroom and backstage area

You'll see the tours both below and hereherehere as well as when you search for us on Google...of course, the invitation always stands for in-person tours! Please contact us to get in touch :).
