When it comes to corporate events, few combine elegance, creativity, and fun as seamlessly as Mesa Mortgage’s recent launch event in Lighthouse Point, FL. Hosted for 50 guests and planned by the talented team at Wendy Parker Events (based in Los Angeles), this intimate gathering was a perfect example of how thoughtful design and local vendors can transform a corporate evening into a memorable experience.
Mesa Mortgage’s event took place in a beautiful and modern property in Lighthouse Point. The home featured extensive bedrooms, living rooms, a dining area, and a backyard with a pool.
As a Fort Lauderdale photographer, I had the pleasure of capturing every detail—from candid moments among colleagues to the beautiful styling of each activation.
Unique Event Activations & Branding Photography
The event featured a personalized embroidery cart by Rose James Studio, where guests selected custom stitching on Mesa Mortgage merch like caps, tote bags, and bucket hats—a truly unique keepsake to take home.
Nearby, the flower bar by Flora was buzzing with creativity. Florencia and Alejandro hand-assembled custom bouquets for each guest, which included beautiful blooms and greenery, adding a fresh and fragrant touch to the evening.
Sips, Bites, and Catering Photography
No celebration is complete without exceptional food and drink, and this event delivered. Craft Cartel kept guests refreshed with beautifully crafted cocktails, among them a “home sweet margarita” and “peaches and perks tini.”
Meanwhile, Juan and Only offered an array of flavorful bite-sized appetizers to welcome the guests upon entering the home, from carne asada bites to cucumber ceviche.
A grazing table by Kamper’s Kitchen served as both a visual centerpiece and a culinary delight, displaying an artful mix of cheeses, fruits, spreads, and mixed veggies. To top it off, Urbanica Events’ gelato cart was a guest favorite, serving mango and pistachio scoops as a sweet finale.
Elegant Details and Seamless Event Planning
With valet parking, refined décor, and seamless flow, the evening felt effortless thanks to the coordination by Wendy Parker Events. Each element reflected Mesa Mortgage’s appreciation for their team and clients—a blend of sophistication and genuine hospitality.
As a social event photographer, I love documenting these moments that bring people together beyond the office. Events like this showcase the power of great event planners, creative vendors, and a shared vision to celebrate community in style.
