Event Management
In September 2012, Complexions Spa for Beauty & Wellness completed a 2,300-square-foot expansion at its current location, bringing the total spa’s square footage to more than 10,800. It also marked a milestone anniversary, celebrating its 25th year of providing clients with exceptional spa and salon services.
Baker Public Relations planned an anniversary event to thank Complexions’ loyal clients and commemorate the joyous occasion. As Complexions Spa is Gold LEED® certified, we wanted this to be the underlying theme for the evening, so Complexions invited special guests to celebrate in style with an invitation only “Green Carpet” event.
More than 100 people attended the 25th anniversary celebration with cucumber infused martinis, ice sculptures, healthy and nutritious hors d’ oeuvres, music, free select spa services, etc.
Baker PR managed all aspects of planning and event execution, including social media contests, invitation design, guest list development, commemorative anniversary logo design, food & beverage selection, décor, swag bag items, photography contract, vendor outreach, and more.
