THE ART OF FOOD AND DESIGN

By Randy Ballesteros and Sarah Prawl

Pushing the envelope extends beyond great food and an amazing venue; planners, clients and guests appreciate events which offer unique and memorable experiences. At Great Performances, we strive to incorporate innovative concepts across all aspects of the planning and execution process. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how our Design Manager, Randy Ballesteros, creates breathtaking event decor.

“I Love Designing Events And Enhancing Delicious Foods With Visually Appealing Environments & Tablescapes.”
