As summer is officially in full swing, the party planning industry is throwing the events of the season. From outdoor venues to summer florals, there are dozens of trends with the new party season. These are three of the Revel Group’s favorites to look out for in the summer of 2024: 1. Interactive Experiences Gone are the days of performance and audience. Attendees now seek active participation in the events they attend. Immersive installations are all the rage as they captivate guests and transport them to different worlds. Interactive art exhibits, virtual reality experiences, even  hands-on workshops create events that are dynamic and memorable experiences. Fostering a sense of involvement has become essential for party planning in 2024. 2. Personalization In case you missed the memo, customization is now the key to creating memorable parties. Personalized invitations and communications build anticipation and engagement. By making your guests feel valued, your party becomes a sensational experience. Try using tailored schedules or choose-your-own-adventure style events to allow your guests to party according to their preferences. This freedom adds a special touch that makes your party unforgettable. 3. Technology Integration Don’t forget - it’s 2024! In today’s day and age, technology is a party-planning must-have. From interactive polls to customized hashtags, technology can involve your guests from the beginning. Now, virtual reality is streamlining the product try-on process and augmented reality can make the decor come to life. Your attendees will want to take out their phones to capture the wild adventure you planned. By embracing these trends, your summer parties will be the talk of the town. These engaging elements create memorable experiences that guests won’t forget long after the party is over.

The Revel Group loves to work hard and play harder, but we couldn’t do it without our community. Chicago-born and raised, the Revel Group loves to create impactful experiences for the community. As a company, we love to give back in the best way we know how: a party! For the past three years, Revel Global Events has partnered with One Goal to create a magical event that celebrates their mission and their work in improving the lives of the community. One Goal recognizes how crucial post-secondary education is on the road t0 success and helps to empower students from lower income communities to follow their dreams and earn their degrees. Revel Cares is honored to be their partner in fundraising for the next generation of Chicago students. In late April, Revel organized a fundraising event for One Goal, featuring cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and dinner by Limelight Catering. Revel Decor decked out the space with beautiful dining tables and stunning spring florals. The night was wonderful and the hosts at One Goals were extremely grateful: “Revel team, As I sit here munching on pull apart bread (!) and sending 8,346 follow up emails, I’m most excited for the one I get to send you. You all are the gold standard. I’m so grateful for your partnership, creativity, and the endless talents of the entire Revel and Limelight team. Your ability to take our vision, improve upon it, and bring it all to life is nothing short of extraordinary. You helped us raise $955k! Thank you! Every compliment we get on the gala is directly tied to you. Thank you for always making gala planning a fun, seamless, and delicious process.” Revel is incredibly proud of the impact our partnership with One Goal has for Chicago students. The success of this year’s fundraising event, raising nearly one million dollars, is a testament to the power of community and collaboration. We look forward to continuing our mission of creating unforgettable experiences that support and uplift the Revel community. Together, we can make a difference, one celebration at a time.  #therevelgroup #chicagoeventplanning #givingback OneGoal

The Revel Group prides ourselves on being the party people, from corporate events to family birthday parties. We strive to make each detail, from catering to decor to venue, perfect. For Harrison’s bar mitzvah, we were thrilled to bring our A-game to his epic sports-themed party. Revel Decor transformed the venue into an athlete’s paradise, with foosball tables, hoops for basketball, and centerpieces of iconic sneakers. Personalized touches featured a funky graffiti wall and airbrushed hats featuring Harrison’s name, even a neon H completely filled with dozens of soccer balls. This Harrison’s mother was incredibly grateful for the Revel team: "Ladies - The event (and everything leading to it!) last night exceeded our expectations. I cannot thank you and your staff enough! Our guests have been raving for the past 24 hours about the food, the decor, the service - and we feel the same way. Everything was just wonderful. And the process was an absolute pleasure. *Thank you* again - I cannot thank you enough, and we will be recommending you guys to everyone we know!” Ericka Our staff works tirelessly to provide top-notch service so you can focus on enjoying the celebration.

Welcome to the Jungle! Or should we say the Concrete Jungle? As 2023 came to a close, Revel had the privilege of designing a jungle-themed corporate party for a prominent Chicago firm at the iconic Lincoln Park Zoo. From the moment the doors swung open, guests were whisked away on a wild adventure filled with adrenaline and adventure. Following a custom-designed event map around the premises, guests embarked on a personal safari to every corner of the zoo. The Main Mall boasted the Watering Hole; where cocktails, passed snacks, and rotating musical entertainment excited guests all night. Meanwhile, Revel transformed the South Lawn into an Urban Oasis, offering food, drink, and relaxation. And our personal favorite, the Lion House became Wild at Heart: an electrifying dance floor surrounded by majestic creatures. Mixed with bright reds, yellows, and greens, the Zoo set the stage for an evening of wonder. Safari greeters guided guests through the zoo, ensuring no one missed a beat of the action. DJs performed on the central stage located at the Main Mall,  while pop-up electric violin performances dazzled guests at the Urban Oasis. If that wasn’t enough to drop your jaw, we added caricaturists, face-painters, and animal-themed four-legged stilt walkers to truly make the party unforgettable. From woodfired pizza, to sushi stations, or gyro and empanada makers, there were feasts piled high everywhere the guests turned.  Thank you to everyone who joined us in the Concrete Jungle, we hope you had a roaring evening in our wild oasis! If this sounds like your kind of party, email us at info@therevelgroup.com to start the planning process!  #chicagoeventplanning #lincolnparkzoo #eventplanning #therevelgroup
