What a way to ring in 2009!

It’s an exciting time around McFarlane Promotions and there is much to tell you all about. We had an amazing 2008 and as much as we would like to get into some of last year’s highlights, we felt it was much more important to get right into all of the exciting new projects in 2009…

For starters, we are going to be featured on WE TV’s (Women's Entertainment) Platinum Weddings. This cable network show follows the planning and execution of only the most lavish weddings. Our wedding will feature Anisha Gwynn. Known better by her stagenames Anisha Nicole and Nee-Nee Gwynn, Anisha is an R&B/hip hop pop-artist who is also the daughter of San Diego Padres Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn.

The show will follow McFarlane Promotions and Anisha as we plan her extraordinary wedding. And in the true spirit with the huge success of the show, this wedding will be an over the top, one-of-a-kind extravaganza. Filming begins this week and we will keep you posted on air dates.

We are also excited to be coordinating the 2009 Kids Korps Eco Ball on Saturday, February 7th. Leading the trend to reduce our carbon footprint we at McFarlane Promotions are always looking for environmentally friendly alternatives at our events and this event has given us the “green” light (pardon the pun) to really let our sustainability shine and prove that you never have to sacrifice style in order to have an exceptional event.

During the Eco Ball, we will incorporate green living into every aspect of this fabulous fundraiser including sustainable décor items such as custom linens made from recycled materials, a delectable organic menu, live floral arrangements and the show stopping “ECOuture”, an eco-friendly fashion showcase featuring sustainable fashions, from clothiers that reduce energy and natural resource consumption, are sensitive to material composition and origins, and impose reduce/reuse/recycle within their creations.

Of course we are also looking forward to our annual events, Mardi Gras, shamROCK, Taste of Uptown / Hillcrest, Taste of Adams Avenue and Monster Bash among others.
