Guests gather at the Casino Regina Show Lounge for an evening of fundraising for Habitat for Humanity, an organization committed to providing affordable housing.

The Star(s) of the Show

Sky-High Luminescence

A midnight gala without any stars? Unacceptable. That's where we came in to create this incredible display. The clouds shimmered, and the golden foils elegantly shone as they reflected the surrounding lights. This nighttime ambience set the stage as a house was built - in real time - to represent fundraising milestones.

Behind the Scenes


The process of installing such a large display on the ceiling was undoubtedly a challenge, but we were determined to bring our partner's vision to life. We created the cloud balloon garland and put it together on the ground. But how did we get it all the way up there, you ask? We got help of course!

Shoutout to Kody at Professional Audio Visual Ltd. for being our lift operator extraordinaire! We can do a lot of things, but we're leaving installing balloon garlands 40 ft in the air to the professionals. We're grateful to have such an efficient audio visual company to call on for large projects like this that require a (literal) extra boost!
