What inspired you to join the hospitality industry?

Knowing the challenge was going to be something different every day, and being able use creativity to bring out success and gratification.

What makes Wizard Connection different from other décor companies?

We are a complete event design and event production company, that is continuing to evolve and grow with every facet of the industry.

What are some current décor trends you are seeing? Have any of them surprised you?

No surprises really.  Many of the trends are cyclical – they just have a different undertones.

What questions should a meeting or event planner be asking their décor company?

It’s funny because the planner should actually have a specific direction from their initial meeting with their (end) client – if anything they would have the answers to our questions.  If not, that’s where our design experience comes in and we can (help) create an event from concept to execution.

Name (3) things that a planner should keep in mind when determining their décor needs.

Budget, theme and layout…(and lighting)

What do you think is going to be the “next big thing” in terms of event décor?

Technology always brings in the next big thing.  But as mentioned earlier, with trends and themes being so cyclical – e.g. vintage classic– the undertones change (texture, color, etc), the next big thing is how to make your version, your vision original and successful.
