people, and I know how to make each one feel special,” says Weinberg. “I work well with all personalities and have traveled around the world, so I can offer novel ideas.”
flair.
Born and raised in Miami, Weinberg grew up surrounded by glamorous people, parties and entertaining. Her mom was a talented model, artist and designer; her dad, a product of the big band era, was a music executive and pioneer in the recording industry. So she met fascinating people at every turn on the dance floor.
“My parents were divorced,” she says. “So I lived with my mom amid Miami Beach glamour and visited my dad and his exciting life in New York.”
After attending Northeastern University in Boston, she moved back to Miami Beach and later got involved with fundraising to benefit Mount Sinai Hospital. She wanted to do parties and had “a lot of wealthy friends.” This combination of passion, talent and opportunity led Weinberg into the business world. One of her first functions was to handle the logistics, coordination and installation of more than 17 different model yachts, as well as daytime operations, in the showroom for the Miami International Boat Show, when it lasted for nine days. She went on to manage private and corporate events for a variety of employers.
“I believe fun and memorable events should have elements of surprise and balance, presented in a way that creates exciting experiences for the guests,” says Weinberg of her instant success. “We do everything from audio visual to design, flow, flowers, catering, lighting, gifts, etc.”
The mother of three children, Max Aaron 18, Shay Madisen 15, and Zoe Jager, 14, with childhood sweetheart husband Mike Weinberg, a financial planner, Weinberg lives in Bay Harbor Islands and loves the challenge of presenting over-the-top events. Dynamic and innovative, she is prepared to tackle any desire.
Several years ago, she handled the 50th birthday for a Bal Harbour resident with 250 guests. She set up benches and hired drummers from Orlando. At midnight, the drummers began performing and convinced the guests to join in. Everyone had a blast! Another time, she hosted about 100 people on the Bahamian island of Bimini. In May, she created a destination wedding in Key Largo. For a recent bar mitzvah at Temple Beth Sholom in Miami Beach, she transformed the ballroom into a night club with green flowers, lucite, lights, live musicians and a DJ, plus a tequila shot wall. Even the toilet paper in the bathroom was a showpiece in green. Gifts-to-go were mini-speakers to attach to iPhones.
“We pay special attention to little details and thus enhance the overall guest experience,” says Weinberg. “We love to personalize and customize to make the client happy.” One of her favorite events was last February’s Vizcaya Museum & Gardens bat mitzvah for 350 people. The clever theme was butterfly: from a caterpillar to a butterfly, the metamorphosis of a young girl into a woman.
Weinberg modeled it after the 2006 film, Marie Antoinette, by Sofia Coppola. They had a cocktail party in the garden with performers, and women wore butterfly costumes with wings. “It was amazing,” she says. “Just beautiful.”
