Engraving Artist, Desiree Colonna, hand engraved over 200 metal flasks at The Notary Hotel grand opening in Philadelphia this week for Marriott. It was a fun experience and well-hidden surprise for guests. This was our second event for Marriott’s Autograph Collection Hotels in three months.
The hotel suite was turned into a speakeasy the night of the Grand Opening. Guests were invited to a party on the main level, then secretly told about the real party going on in the suite upstairs and given a special key to attend where they would find our engraving artist creating special gifts.
When they arrived upstairs, Desiree was seated at a large table with a basket of flasks ready to engrave.
The line never stopped for three hours and Desiree eventually ran out of flasks to engrave. She was surprised to find out there were more flasks ordered than guests so many people received more than one gift. They loved the engraving activation so much, they kept coming back for gifts for family and friends.
The event team was buzzing by the end of the night about how guests loved seeing their names, monograms and special phrases engraved into the metal flasks. Everyone couldn’t believe how popular our engraving artist and her work was in the upstairs suite. Everyone was vying for a key to the suite to see our engraver in action. The event was another successful grand opening for The Autograph Collection Hotels by Marriott and Desiree was honored to attend.
