PRO EM Design Center Open House Event
New showroom to make life easier for Scottsdale wedding and event planners
(NORTH SCOTTSDALE) August 17, 2010: Event planners and wedding professionals in the Northeast Valley have a new set of best friends. A private grand opening party last week at the new PRO EM Design Center brought out some of the biggest names in event planning, wedding services, catering and destination management. Needless to say, industry pros are happy to have a new venue dedicated to the special events business right in their neighborhood.
“The PRO EM Design Center offers a comfortable place where planning professionals and their clients can visualize their event ideas – from the color of the linens to the china and glassware to the overall scope of the event,” said Brad Kramer, president and CEO of PRO EM. “Our new north Scottsdale showroom showcases our ability to provide a personalized experience to each of our clients, at the level of service they expect.”
Located near Kierland Commons and the Scottsdale corridor (15551 N. Greenway-Hayden Loop, Suite 110), the PRO EM Design Center features tabletop displays of a wide selection of china, flatware, glassware and chairs and an exclusive line of high-end specialty linens and chair covers from Wildflower Linen. Planners can use the Center’s client consultation areas for production, site design and new client meetings or to browse online photo galleries for inspiration, review artistic renderings and access the Internet to view additional products.
“We’ve used PRO EM for events for a number of years, but having this design center in North Scottsdale adds a new level of convenience for us,” said Stacia Brocco, director of sales at Monterra at Westworld. “It’s closer to our venue and many of our favorite clients, and it has an amazing selection for everyone from the do-it-yourselfer to the industry professional. I cannot wait to bring clients over!”
Event planner Amy Mancuso was pleased to see PRO EM reaching out to the wedding industry with the opening of the new Design Center. “Everything I need is now in one place and I can find what each client needs for their particular event right in one location,” said Mancuso, owner of Amy Mancuso Events. “There’s nothing else like this in Arizona!”
