Jenny and Brian, were delighted to end the year making a promise to one another, while toasting to new promises to come.

Fire & Ice

 

Fire & Ice Event = Spectacular Way to Say, "Thank You"

Pacific Western Equipment Finance (PWEF) believes that the success of businesses plays a crucial role in a strong and vibrant economy. They also believe that throwing a good employee party is important to their business culture and, well it’s just fun! With that in mind, every year they have a company party designed to surpass the prior year. They do not repeat the same theme twice, and with bigger and better the goal, Pierpont Place was a perfect fit.
 

Winter Solstice

 

Winter Solstice Birthday Bash

Think all eight year olds want a Disney themed party? Think again. Cassandra, a super stylish eight year old wanted a Winter Solstice themed birthday bash. Her fête was over the moon, and neither she nor the guests will ever forget it. The space was decorated with hundreds of snowflakes and crystal balls that created a wintery wonderland accented by the forest of a mystical fairy and moonlight.

Serving Those Who Serve

Did you know that supporting our local nonprofit organizations is part of our business model? Recently, we had the pleasure of hosting a party for Graduation Alliance, formerly known as No Drop Outs. Graduation Alliance (@gradalliance) helps to give students the flexibility and support they need to graduate — and helping end the dropout epidemic. Using research-based strategies, Graduation Alliance has reached hard-to-find students across the United States and provided them with the flexibility and support they need to reach their graduation goals.

At Pierpont, we wanted to customize our space to provide a rustic and fun atmosphere for the group of inspiring individuals, and the result was exactly as imagined. With holly-trimmed tables, inside-lanterns, and pops of color, Pierpont was truly transformed into an environment worthy of showing thanks to the group of generous individuals doing amazing things for our youth!

A Good Time Was Had by All

Alliance Residential, one of the largest private U.S. multifamily companies with an office is Utah, invited staff from all of their properties to come together at Pierpont Place to enjoy a company party to celebrate successes. The decor was elegant but chic with chandeliers emphasizing bling. Appreciation awards were given and everyone enjoyed fantastic entertainment and excellent fare and drinks. Ridgeview Apartments in North Salt Lake won the most awards, so celebrating came easy. Like the guests, the entertainment was not ordinary. They brought in a gaming company from California that setup a "Friendly Feud" version of the famous "Family Feud." A good time was had by all!
