Special
Events Magazine honors Austin RentAll Party with a Gala Award for "Best
Achievement In Rental Support" for an event in 2001.
Damon
W. Holditch, CSEP, (Certified Special Event Professional), President
of Austin RentAll Party, said, "We were honored to be nominated
for this award and blown away when we won!"
Will
Holditch coordinated the award winning cocktail reception for the premiere
of the Texas Medal of Arts Awards in March 2001. The challenge was to
build the reception site on 8th Street between Congress and Brazos without
disrupting downtown traffic flow and satisfying the city and all other
requirements of this prestigous award ceremony. Will gained access to
8th Street at 6 AM the morning of the event. Will proceeded to direct
and construct the reception site for 750 guests. The site included tenting,
lighting, fencing, tables, linens, chairs, décor, beverage area,
buffet, water, power and a Luxury Loo for the guests. The site setup
included carpeting 8th Street.
After
the reception, Will directed the removal of all items installed at the
site. 8th Street was returned to the City of Austin at 2 AM the next
morning. It was a 20-hour event for Will Holditch, Austin RentAll Party
and the trusted team of event professionals assembled to produce this
event.
