We offer designers that will answer your
call for personalized
design of your theme through comprehensive planning.
We also offer Custom Hands-on Fabrication of your custom project.
|
For an expert touch to the theme design process we recommend a personal
consultation with a designer. We will prepare different possible scenarios
in advance for a 'brainstorming session'
where we will help you to realize your creativity and put your thoughts to paper.
You will
leave the discussion with a clearer vision of the direction, construction of and
implementation of your theme.
If you are satisfied with the projected courses of action, we can begin to take
your theme to the next level
by fabricating your ideas and
coordinating
your theme around your event.
The aspects of your theme will be applied in well-focused style
in conjunction with your particular theme by a team of professional theme designers
and crafters.
Initial and subsequent theme design consultations $75/ hr. - money well
spent!
If
after your initial consultation you decide to move forward with your decorating
project on your own, rest-assured that if at any time along the way you require
professional assistance it is available as you need it.

Brainstorming: We will conduct a
brainstorming session in which members of our team compile a
list of generic element ideas related to your theme. This
list really jump-starts the creative process. Here is an
actual list from a WESTERN theme
brainstorming session (our competitors will surely copy this
list, like they often do, because it's a great list!):
TIP: The advantage of this process is that after
the initial meeting you can elect to go another route if your do
not like the list of ideas which are yours to keep!

The sky is the limit with Amerifun - If
you cannot find something, we will build it! This Santa throne / Santa Chair was designed and fabricated from
scratch for a client. A hollow armrest for candy canes
was implemented into the design.
This throne is sort of majestic as gold with red velvet and is also a great
piece for Prom King or a Medieval theme. Includes under-seat
storage and is on wheels for easy placement.

How the process works:
Your Preliminary Checklist:
1.) Determine the theme that you wish to achieve. Use our handy list
at the bottom of this page to help.
2.) Decide on a Venue.
3.) Figure a decorations budget.
4.) Be prepared for some great recommendations.
Our Preliminary Checklist:
1.) Deise a list of creative ideas, aspects and theme elements.
1.) Establish core focal point decorations.
2.) Determine wall, ceiling and table dressings. Identify lighting
options.
3.) Offer low cost alternatives.
4.) Recommend a complete theme with no missing components while offering
overlooked aspects.
Depending on your cost ceiling we will
recommend a variety of Rentals, Ready-made Items to purchase,
Custom-crafted Pieces and Custom Printing among other items.
We offer CUSTOM Theme Design.

Example:
"Hollywood":
Your indoor decorations will depend on
the placement of tables and chairs as well as what the decorating protocol
of your venue may be. If you had a large entryway or atrium,
gold/black/red Lighted Balloon Columns (topped with large gold Star
Balloons) connected with Balloon Arches could be in order. Large
Balloon Globes would be a breathtaking adornment as well. Red Carpet could also
be used indoors (as well as outdoors). Lighted Fabric Columns (in a variety of styles) throughout the
hall, possibly connected with fabric would be a nice touch as would
additional Entryways. Gold/black/red Linens are a must possibly with
chair covers. Gold Oscar Centerpieces, Electronic Candles, Gold
Foliage or Star Balloons could make up the Centerpieces. Wall
Decorations could include Metallic Curtains, Lighted Curtains, City
Skylines and/ or Hollywood Hills Skyline with "HOLLYWOOD" Letters. Movie Posters
displayed from Easels along with Movie Star Standees and Palm Trees could
also fill in some spots. Large Film and Film Reels, Clapboards,
Cameras, Spotlights, Movie Decorations and Silhouette Standees could also
be used. Strobe Lights throughout as well as Live Actors posing
as Paparazzi would be another nice addition. If your venue included an outdoor space, we
would recommend a large custom solid-color vinyl or paper Banner
possibly displaying sponsor text or images. This banner would run
parallel to Red Carpet, Velvet Rope and Chrome Stanchions. Another option could be a gold/black/red
Balloon Arch lit with Strobe Lights and flanked with large Oscar
Statues. An
alternative to this could also be a large Lighted Theater Entry
Marquee. Lighted Star Decorations, Lighted Metal Columns,
Working Spotlight and Working Closed-circuit Camera Decorations and
more Live Paparazzi Actor would also set the stage outdoors as well
as offer a fantastic curb view. In addition, you
may consider large Outdoor Search Lights and Limousines. If you have a nearby hill, the icing on the cake would be Large Lighted
Outdoor 4'X8' high H-O-L-L-Y-W-O-O-D Letters in the distance.
These are just some ideas. For
example you could work more towards "awards show" than "movie
premiere". We will address all possible scenarios with you.
We will provide you with a complete
itemized quote for all items by category for your review.

Here
is an example of how Amerifun takes your decorating to the next level.
A client was planning a 1920's themed event...
Instead of recommending a cardboard backdrop, we delivered an actual Model T
automobile - that's how we roll!
(The car pictured is a completely restored 1928 Coupe. A completely
restored 1928 Sedan is also available as well as two 1923 partially restored
coupes. The restored cars are great for hall focal points or as a backdrop
for food tables. The partially restored ones are a little more rustic and
make for a great gangster theme).

We will always strive to transform your venue and event into a
true themed experience. |
 |
We will never leave you upside down with
your own decorating project. Please do not hesitate to let us know
if you require a hand. We can provide Personable Creative
Decorators, High-climbers or Heavy-lifters - Just ask!
As always, we can still
recommend and rent or sell you the Props to you with Free Professional
Placement!
|
 |
 |
Always
Consider LIGHTING!
LIGHTING makes ANY decoration better! Many of our
decorations already include lighting, or CAN include lighting - Just ask!
For example: Balloon decorations are great - but consider
them with mini lighting or strobe lights inside - Wow!

Please Contact Us or Request
a Quote and we will begin your theme
design project with comprehensive research. We will then concentrate
our results into an itemized comprehensive free proposal with breakdown of all our suggestions so you can pick and choose
what works best for you.
Typically our theme design
packages will begin with large key props in conjunction with complimenting
items such as ceiling or wall dressings, table decorations and costumed
staff members
depending on your requests and the available space.
Your own imagination is the only limitation to other great ideas!
