For 2010 Cece & Melinda with Raymi Productions will hold 3 different types of events: Signature Events, Networking Events and Seminars for Women.
Signature events
Our Signature events are events that we have created and branded from scratch. Cece & Melinda with Raymi Productions host three signature events per year: Shop IN Chicago before Mother’s day, The Taste of the Gold Coast (August) and Shop IN Chicago before the winter holidays. Estimated attendance at each event is 300 people.
Cece & Melinda assembled the top neighborhood restaurants where the head chefs offer delectable tastes off their gourmet menus. Participating restaurants have included RA Sushi, Tavern on Rush, McCormick & Schmick’s, Merlo on Maple, Il Mulino, Gibsons, Luxbar, Hugo’s, Quartino, Bombon Americano, Morton’s and Carmine’s. Live jazz and complimentary drinks by Hpnotiq and Pama made the event quite a hit for the community! Following the event, Tavern on Rush hosted the after party where the first drink was on the house for those who attended the “Taste of the Gold Coast”!
Shop IN Chicago brings together many talented Chicago designers for one night featuring jewelry, clothing, accessories and more! Dior offers complimentary sampling from their professional make-up artists for all shoppers. There is no admission for this event and complimentary food and drink is provided for shoppers.
Our two networking events are held in the summer (June & July) when business professionals are in the mood to be enjoying the beautiful Chicago weather outdoors. We host these events on Lake Michigan on a boat that accommodates at least 150 guests and we supply the food and drink!
Our priority and passion is being able to produce seminars for approximately 100 women with complimentary food and drinks in order to bring together the female community through education.
Our seminars for women are made possible by donations from our sponsors. Sponsors feel it is important to support the women in and around their community. In 2009, our seminars were held in March, May, September, October and November. Educational topics vary each month.
