This weekend, our DJ company Bamboo Beats, had the pleasure of rockin' the bells at one spectacular Christmas Party for Kelley Moore Creative Media Events. Kelley Moore is Seattle's own lifestyle and entertaining expert, who recently appeared on the Rachael Ray Show. I'm so excited to show you some of the beautiful details that Kelley and her team designed for this annual Christmas party... (pro photos to come later, hopefully!)
Kelley's beautifully decorated front porch greeted guests as they arrived at her gorgeous Craftsman home.
The night air was cold, but this whimsical bike warmed everyone's heart! Create your own light sculpture like this one with a bike, some lights, a basket full of gifts a big red bow!
The front porched featured a wintery lodge theme complete with silver pine cones, snowflakes and a glistening white tree. Guests could also enjoy coffee or hot cocoa with marshmallows while chatting outside.
Once inside, the Naughty or Nice theme was in full effect! All of the printing and signage around the house was done by Suite 7 Creative. Pictured above are beautifully presented Naughty or Nice popcorn take home gifts and a sparkly red and silver trimmed tree.
Wine was provided by Revelry Vinters and there were 2 signature cocktails provided by Crater Lake Vodka & Q Tonic...a Naughty one and Nice one of course!
A delicious array of sumptuous appetizers were served up Naughty or Nice style! The Naughty food was provided by Brasa Restaurant and the Nice food was provided by Lisa Dupar Catering. I enjoyed them both!
Here is Kelley's lounge room with the cutest wreath wearing wooden deerhead I have ever seen, and a jolly old poster of St. Nick! Not pictured above, but equally fabulous was Kelley's flat panel tv that played a faux fireplace dvd with life-like flames flickering about on screen.
Kelley's philosophy in keeping guests entertained is to create fun areas for guests to explore throughout the party space... So upstairs, she created a Nice North Pole by decorating one bedroom as a wonderland photo station. A professional photo elf was there to capture folks in their Nice smiles and holiday cheer!
To satisfy every sweet tooth, guests were encouraged to venture downstairs into the Naughty Lounge for the dessert bar and a little mischief... Trophy Cupcakes provided the devilishly delicious cupcakes and there were plenty of other naughty treats to eat at the dessert bar.
We hooked up the Naughty Lounge with our red uplights and gave the whole room a smooth red glow. That cool backdrop you see behind the DJ consists of a whole wall of color printouts with the word "Naughty" in the middle. Make one like this using your own photo or graphics with Blockposters. My hubby the DJ, played lounge music to start and then turned up the heat when everyone came downstairs to party! He had them dancing all night long! Thanks Kelley! Thanks Sheena!!!

What fun!
I was going to attend the Velocity Holiday Party that she was guesting at and other things got in the way.
I definitely hope to meet her some day. She has made quite the name for herself :)
Looking forward to seeing you this weekend and Tuesday for Bamboo Beats at Greenwood Greendrinks!

A winter wonderland ready for Christmas! It's a very nice holiday-themed party, with a look and style that adults can enjoy. It's rad that the Christmas theme is noticeable, yet at the same time, it doesn’t get in the way of party fun.
