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
Recently, a client came in with a scrap of fabric, that had a pattern on it, which they wanted to use as a motif in their wedding.
The plan was to order rolls of the fabric, to make our own custom linens and accents, but a challenge arose, when it was discovered that the fabric in question had been discontinued.
Some would resign themselves to the fact that they would simply have to select a new fabric, but not us! Here's a great example of how our team and resources came together to pull off a seemingly impossible task.
First, we had our graphics department scan the client's fabric swatch. Then, using a graphics program, we were able to create a tile of the pattern. This allowed us to recreate the pattern without any seams, on any sized surface, no matter what the width or length.
Using our large format printer, we printed the pattern out onto a special canvas, recreating the look and feel of the original fabric!
With a number of our bigger shows in the spotlight lately, I wanted to point out one of the key components to making these productions successful; the minutiae, and I don't just mean nice napkin rings, but awesome details. Here are a few examples:
Rubik's Cubes
When we were asked to plan a 80's Themed Special Event, our creative staff came up with the idea for these bright, glowing 2' Rubik's Cubes. These were designed and constructed by our own talented people, and required over one hundred individual stick-on pieces per cube, all of which were placed by hand.
Mad Hatter Hats
A local resort nightclub celebrated its second anniversary with an Alice in Wonderland themed party. Our decor included oversized playing cards, flowers and mushrooms, as well as a new items custom made for this event; including a clockface entry arch, a 5' birthday cake prop, and these hats, styled after The Mad Hatter. Our seamstress made several hats in a variety of colors, right here in our own sewing shop!
Tiffany Wedding
There's no mistaking the special color of blue that's synomymous with the elegance, taste and style of Tiffany & Co. Our designers came up with this stunning blue and white motif for a wedding in the Scottsdale community of Silverleaf, where we matched the table linens and chair covers of Tiffany's trademark blue, with centerpieces, florals and ceiling swags. Sparkling crystal tableware and shimmering gemstone accents pulled together all the elements of this lavish look.

In the early stages of planning an event, one of the first considerations in deciding upon event decor is coming up with a stunning entry way. This is key to making a great first impression, and setting the event's tone.
Often, our clients are in search of something which they haven't seen elsewhere, or are working with a theme that's unique to their corporate culture. We strive to accomodate these clients in bringing their vision to life, and that's where our custom design and fabrication services come into play.
The above image is from a recent event with a Boardwalk theme. The pier was created specifically for this event, based on the client's vision. No matter what the event, be it themed or traditional, we can come up with something spectacular for you, and at any budget.
