Arizona Bride Magazine recently honored Encore Creative with an award in their annual 'Best of ' list. The List is a who's who of Arizona wedding planners and specialists, and is worth a look; whether you're a prospective client, or an industry professional.
This award, in the category of  Best Talent Agency, comes as a great honor, and spotlights an area of expertise that some of our clients didn't know we were involved in. We are, in fact, involved in so many aspects of Wedding and Special Event Planning, that it can be a surprise to those who don't know us, but with 30 years in the business, and so many talented people on staff, we take a lot of pride in being able to tell our clients that "we'll handle it all."

Best Talent Agency
The finalists are: Encore! Creative, Krigsten Agency, and SRO Entertainment and Productions Ltd.
The winner is: Encore! Creative

“Encore provided us with the help we needed to make our venue warm and welcoming. They handled everything from the basic tent structure to providing us with very useful ideas regarding decorations, lighting, etc. They also have a wonderful floral department [staff] who outdid themselves. We only have one daughter so this was our only opportunity to plan a wedding, and it truly turned out to be a great evening, helped in no small part by Encore.” - Beth Dorweiler, Scottsdale, mother of Lauren Dorweiler, married Nov. 14, 2009

 

The 4th Annual Zonies (Arizona Event Industry Awards) took place on May 14th, 2010, with Encore Creative selected as a finalist in the categories of Best Entertainment and Best Decor. Encore staffers, Michelle Magana and David Kellett, who put together the company's entries, were on hand for the awards dinner, which was held at Chase Field's Suite Lounge.

The evening's events commenced with a Networking/Cocktail Reception, during which time, guests were able to review all of the finalist's entries. Dinner was served during the awards ceremony, with a break at the mid-point for for some live entertainment from the local dance troupe Foot Klan.  A highlight of the evening was when guest were taken on a guided tour, down through the stadium's corridors, past the dugouts, and right onto the grass of Chase field!

Encore Creative congratulates all those who took home a Zonie award!
