During our time in Tampa, our Operations Team found some beautiful restaurants. With various cuisines and stunning decor, these restaurants are perfect for dinearounds or any meal function for your next Tampa event. We even found a secret speakeasy that requires a password for entrance (Don’t worry, we can get you in 😉).

Looking at these beautiful photos, you would never know that we made the tough call only hours before to pull this event inside due to weather. The e2 team quickly made adjustments and added more greenery to the stage to bring the outdoors in. Our beautiful tablescapes shone in the amber-lit ballroom, and DJ Jayce kept the good vibes going all night long!

Here in Central Florida, we love good food and we couldn't be more excited about the restaurants in Orlando and Tampa that have recently joined the ranks of Michelin-starred restaurants! These six restaurants (Ebbe and Kosen in Tampa and Camille, Natsu, Victoria and Albert's, and Papa Llama in Orlando) have recently earned this distinction and joined the now 12 restaurants with 1 Michelin Star. ⭐

Paradise Cove created the perfect backdrop for our client's especially successful hospitality event with a Polynesian theme. We were able to highlight their new product launch in very unique ways from a POI performer with scrolling logos on his back, to a branded AquaStar, marquee letters that spelled out the product, and even branded socks! Our Polynesian show was amazing and our caricature artist turned ordinary guests into mini tiki cartoons.

We are pleased to present the newest (and cutest) member of our team, E. Squirreled! Here at ESquared, we tend to get squirreled, or go off on a tangent, quite a bit, so E. Squirreled is the perfect candidate to be our mascot.

Here's a look at what E. Squirreled has been up to in the last few weeks: from cowboy hats to pirates, he's been very busy!

As we head into pool party season, we wanted to share one of our favorite pool events!

The Sunset Soiree started off strong with the Junkanoo Parade complete with Goombay Drums, cowbells, and bugle horns.

Throughout the night, a quartet serenaded, a strolling magician thrilled, and a hit & run caricature artist surprised guests with customized portraits.

If that wasn't enough for you, there was a silent disco party happening at the same time! The decor was also a huge part of the night with LED games such as corn hole and shuffleboard and a 360 photo booth.

A special thank you to Kristin, for taking the lead on this and seeing it through from start to finish!

We slayed this bodacious series of events with a totally tubular 80’s Party Rosen Shingle Creek!

Our DJ included nostalgic music videos that harken back to that era. Arcade games were all the rage in the 80’s, so we thought that it was a rad way to close out the week! 🎸
