Evening Events

During the 90-minute window, workers—including more than 100 staffers from Blueprint alone—also transformed the outdoor area that had previously held the red carpet. Heat lamps and bar seating were set up, and centerpieces were exchanged. Lounge seating featured blue velvet chairs and gold details, and organizers provided blankets to keep guests warm. 

The outdoor after-party featured a performance by DJL. Disco balls overhead added to the late-night vibe.

Additional lounge seating featured mirrored installations by Blueprint, which proved to be a popular spot for photo ops.

Blueprint Studios created an additional after-party space at Zellerbach Rehearsal Hall at the San Francisco War Memorial & Performing Arts Center, located across from Davies Symphony Hall. Decor featured luxe white and gold furnishings, strands of lights, and plenty of candles. 

The bar served wine from Pine Ridge Vineyards, Seghesio Family Vineyards, Domaine Carneros, and OneHope.

The event included its signature Ferris wheel as well as an enormous checkered dance floor.

Tequila Don Julio poured specialty drinks from inside an Airstream.

The venue’s central lagoon featured a custom marquee surrounded on all sides by large-scale candies that appeared to float above. 

Yelp hosted its annual summit for 400 nationally based managers late last month at Headquarters Beercade River North in Chicago. Designed by Kehoe Designs, the event featured a ceiling Slinky installation that combined glittering disco balls with the glow-in-the-dark toys.
