The sculptural logo was the main focal point in the waiting area and was open to being signed by every team member. The walls here were kept simple and draped in black to highlight four large banners with stories of how their coworkers exemplified company values. Two screens at the front of this area would flank the curtained entrance. After an introductory video (featuring scenes of the resort's construction as well as team members working on opening preparations), the curtains into the main ballroom would open, and a drum line led the procession into the main hall and toward the stage in a flurry of excitement.
Entering the richly decorated hall left many in awe and was an exciting experience for our team as well as all of the new team members. The ten-foot living flower walls and accompanying banners flanked by 20-foot willow trees surrounded by beautiful blossom arrangements gave the team members a space in which they could feel like guests at a five-star resort.
