Trina Hodges Realty Bohemian Party
In June 2013, Trina Hodges Realty contacted us to help her with the planning of her annual client appreciation garden party.
The theme was woodsy bohemian. Our overall vision was rustic and warm, with lots of colour. The highlights of the garden soirée included a s'mores bar, a hot dog bar, live music and a food truck.
We love designing an event from scratch and could do the same for you.

Empire Collision 50th Anniversary
Prominent government officials, sports champions, clients and business leaders met at the Empire Collision’s south location to celebrate 5 decades of successs in business. As part of its celebration, the company unveiled one of the largest painted murals in Edmonton, which is a tribute to our city. This large-scale piece of art measuring 120 feet long and 12 feet high captures the diverse spirit and history of Edmonton – its triumphs, aspirations and successes.
The event theme was inspired by the company's motto "Specializing in the unexpected since 1964". The event gave guests an experience that was beyond the ordinary featuring unexpected event activities that built on the fun, excitement and adventure of the 1964 event theme. B5 Communications was contracted to assist with the theme and program development, event design, logistics, and media relations. We worked in partnership with Transparent C who did a fabulous job with the invitation design and the event marketing.
