Sandra's Added Touch Nominated for Two Allie Awards!

We are proud to be nominated for not one, but TWO Atlanta Allie Awards. The Allie Awards, “honors and promotes excellence in event design, planning and production,” in the Atlanta area. We have been nominated for “Most Creative Venue” (we are up against Destination South Meetings and Events) and “Best Menu on a Shoe String Budget.” Here are a few pics of our nominated events.


We cannot wait for the award ceremony on April 11th! Congratulations to everyone nominated!


Most Creative Venue


This dinner banquet honored a local philanthropist who has donated large sums of money to the Atlanta Food Bank. We wanted to honor the magnificent charitable efforts of this woman while drawing attention to her cause: in order to fulfill both of these mandates we decided to hold the party in the warehouse of the food bank itself, using canned goods as décor. We were in charge of all foodstuffs- hors d'oeuvres, buffets, and desserts; as well as the center pieces, linens, and coordinating the lighting, balloons, and furniture rentals.

Best Menu on A Budget


Our mission was to create an adorable birthday party without exceeding the client’s budget. Understandably, the client did not want to spend more than $1,000 dollars for their child’s first birthday. We accomplished this by designing an adult menu consisting of healthy yet affordable comfort foods and a very simple beverage bar. The children’s food was presented in inexpensive brown bags with monkey themed treats. We also hand created simple décor items like monkey masks and a “Happy Birthday” banner. We handled every facet of this event, the décor, the linens, the layout, the set-up, and the delicious nutritious meals.
