“Sarahuaro signifies friendship and community. The saguaro cactus is an iconic feature of the Baja landscape, where the desert meets the sea. A cactus is able to support life and prosper in the midst of a challenging environment, much like the women who participate in Sarahuaro’s programs.” - sarahuaro.org
To raise funds for Sarahuaro, guests of the hotel and the general public were invited to buy tickets and reserve tables. They were offered an evening of entertainment, an exquisite dinner, a live auction, and a raffle. And to make sure everybody’s onboard, the theme of the party was “A Night in Wonderland”.
“You’re mad, bonkers, completely off your head. But I’ll tell you a secret. All the best people are.”- Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland.
As the dress code encouraged themed costumes, rabbits and Alices, cats and playing cards came to the party. Willing to do at least six good deeds before breakfast, the guests donated and raised awareness for Sarahuaro’s cause.
It’s events like this that help the foundation continue its mission and change the lives of many women and children. You can get involved by donating money or equipment or enrolling as a volunteer. Even a simple visit counts.
How to Plan the Perfect Corporate Event
The three big steps of planning a corporate event are location, theme, and after-event actions. To help you understand what these steps mean, we exemplify with pictures from the gorgeous Studio Eminence locations.
Whether you organize a conference, team building, or an annual shareholders meeting, a corporate event has to be elegant, fluid, and perfectly planned. From decorations to food and entertainment, everything has to be designed in style and appropriate for the event. Don’t worry; there’re a lot of people ready to help you, but you have to know what to ask them to do.

Choose a stylish location
Whether it’s a business or a leisure event, a corporate event needs style and attention to detail. Choose a location that provides the space and facilities you need. You may need a conference hall, a fancy restaurant for the dinner party, recreation facilities for a successful team building, and accommodation for a lot of people. Make sure you choose a location with good reviews and a long history in organizing corporate events. It also helps to have beautiful views and offering surroundings, easy access, and neutral and elegant décor. Keep in mind that it has to suit many different people and in this case, a minimalist approach is the best.
Plan a thematic party
A thematic party is easier to plan and manage. Give people something to do and involve them in the event. The theme can vary from a specific dress code color to a concept (eco-friendly, recycling, vintage, high-tech, etc.) and detailed stories (carnival, movie characters, Mexican flavors, etc.).
Provide matching décor and entertainment (live music, professional dancers, and fireworks), props and costumes, and a thematic menu. The theme has to match the event’s scope (don’t plan a carnival for a business conference) and the entire atmosphere has to be respectful and pleasant for everybody.
Book a professional photographer to capture the atmosphere
After-event actions include offering small gifts to all participants and creating photo albums for social media or internal reference. You’ll need high-quality pictures featuring table arrangements, activities, people, and the overall workflow of the event. Book a professional photographer to help you with this part.
A photographer will make sure every participant appears in at least a portrait and a group picture, take care of photographing the location before the event, and document the event step by step. Based on your requirements, a photographer can deliver professional business portraits and fun party pictures.
Corporate events shouldn’t be dull and without glamour. Based on their specific, they can include time for relaxation and enjoying the location, entertainment involving local music and traditions, and thematic meals. Studio Eminence’s locations are perfect hosts for these events and welcome you with wonderful facilities, experts to take care of all details, and amazing landscapes to delight your guests.
