The month of May has already come and gone, and we have so many fantastic events to share with you.
As many of you Arizonians probably know, The National Rifle Association had their annual meeting here in our warm, desert oasis. They held their events downtown at the newly designed Phoenix Convention Center. AZA was their support team as we assisted in planning and coordinating all of their guest activities, ILA Dinner, Golden Freedom Reception, their Banquet Dinner décor, and After Hours Cigar & Brandy Reception. We also assisted with the décor for the National Rifle Foundation meetings.
The National Rifle Association is a prestigious organization with millions of members and tens of thousands of attendees. This large Association has many different facets and planning teams. AZA worked very closely with the planners and security team to make each event a great success and an event to remember. We assisted in creating an online registration form for activity signup as well as a registration form that was sent to thousands of members. When the activities came to fruition, members participated in an unforgettable Hummer tour of our unique Sonoran desert.
The Golden Ring of Freedom Reception and ILA Dinner and Auction were held at the authentic Corona Ranch located in Laveen, Arizona. As the DMC partner of NRA, AZA Events transformed the Great Hall into a beautiful sea of Arizona jewel tones, lighted greenery, and floral arrangements to express an elegant feel. The donor recognition party was well attended and leaded into the ILA Dinner and Auction. Sufficient tenting was brought in to house over 800 guests and AZA supplied transportation for all attendees. A truly magnificent and beautiful event took place all within one of our most favorite and genuine settings in the Valley.

Later in the week, the Banquet dinner was set for 6,000 guests at the Phoenix Convention Center. AZA provided the 600 Southwest Centerpieces for this event and was able to find beautiful, custom Native arrangements that met their budgetary parameters. The room was a spectacular sight!
Afterwards, a private Cigar and Brandy Reception was provided for the VIP’s and invited attendees. This event was an absolute HIT and was the talk of the convention. We completely transformed the Convention Center’s patio into a rugged, yet elegant after hours lounge. Brown Leather Nail-head Lounge Groupings, Rustic Double Bar, and Glowing Candle Vessels surrounded the area while guests were entertained with a Jazz Trio. Guests were stargazing from the oversized telescope and high-end cigars were scattered amongst the party. The event was enclosed with a custom, very unique black spandex and truss treatment to give a VIP feel and also acted as a wonderful security feature. This reception definitely rocked!
Overall, the Convention was a HUGE success and we are so delighted to have been apart of it.
“You folks are first class all the way, and I can’t wait to work with you again!!
You made my job (and Kristin’s) so easy, and I don’t ever remember a time that I felt such confidence in a partner that I didn’t worry about a thing -- ever! As I’ve said before, “I wish I could clone you.”
The After Banquet Party is still being talked about, and there is no doubt that it will fast become THE place to go following the Banquet. Last year was our first, and I didn’t think we could top it, but we did. Your instincts were right on target with the layout, and it was a smashing success! But most importantly, the brains guy behind this event was very happy J You made me look so good. Thank you, thank you.”

“I hope this message finds you doing very well. I absolutely cant thank you enough for the wonderful gift that you sent to me, it was very thoughtful and MUCH appreciated – it goes great with my bag! Thanks so much. Brianna and April, you have just been the best to work with and I hate to say this, but you have spoiled us/me tremendously – Jackie and I just mentioned that yesterday. So again, thank you very much for making our events so successful, we couldn’t have done it without your help, attention to detail, and immaculate planning.”
