McKesson chose Tigertown (Detroit Tiger’s training stadium) in Lakeland, FL…. the only problem is that it’s an empty, metal hangar. How the heck can you beautify this place?
With the right vendors. That’s how. 
Enter Joette of Party People (http://partypeople.homestead.com) with her AMAZING balloon sculptures. Instead of boring you with text, I have supplied plenty of photos and video!
Our next step in transforming the hangar was lighting. They didn’t opt for uplighting, except in the Balloon Tunnel and entrance room.
We used a two-column setup with LEDs that flooded the room with blue (it was a Winter Wonderland theme) with moving head lights that projected snowflakes on the dance floor.
The balloon arch surrounding the floor absorbed the lights and was bursting with color!
Enjoy some great pics and video below!

Here’s Joette next to her giant balloon arch!
White trussing. While most DJs may use metallic trussing, we prefer white as it is more elegant.
The left wall of the balloon tunnel.
Here’s the arch! No flash used, this is our LEDs at work!
You can see our dual-totem setup!
Here’s the arch, glowing in color!
The entrance room. Joette provided LED Christmas lights and rope light around the room while we supplied blue uplights.
Karen and Neville Williams. When they chose a DJ for this party, we were the obvious choice… after all, we did their wedding three years ago!!!
This is my light tech, Derek, doing my job while I’m taking photos.
This little guy here is the life of the party. He was dancing and clapping to every song!
McKesson gave away some awesome gifts… but people had to run up to get them! This guaranteed hilarity!
Paula, Edyta, Derek, Myself, Karen, and Neville. The three ladies in the photo are responsible for making the party happen!
We pulled the van RIGHT UP TO THE STAGE! It was a flush fit, too! How awesome is that. We loaded up in a matter of minutes!
Enjoy some great video footage below!

Hey Arnoldo-
Your pictures turned out great! I really enjoyed seeing my balloon sculptures come to life with the uplighting from your company. I love how balloons and lights can transform a dull space into a dramatic event. I heard many positive comments throughout the event about your DJ services and the Decor. It was great to see you in action during the party — adding extra value for our Client – I look forward to working with you in the near future!
