’One Atlantic’ Announces Selection of Green Friendly Event Options Fit for Every Budget

Atlantic City, N.J., April 19, 2010 – In honor of Earth Day, One Atlantic, the premier over-water event venue in the Atlantic City region, is proud to announce environmentally friendly event capabilities available to clients who book the venue for weddings, corporate or social events.

If you care about the planet, why not integrate your principles into your event? Below is a selection of eco-friendly event options available at One Atlantic:

Give Back to the Local Community at No Cost

-          One Atlantic has partnered with Atlantic City’s AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center to donate all floral arrangements to the hospital after every event held at the venue. This unique partnership offers clients, and the team at One Atlantic the opportunity to recycle the arrangements and give the joy of receiving flowers to those in need.

Purchase Carbon Offsets for Events

-          One Atlantic partnership with Carbonfund.org allows clients the opportunity to purchase carbon offsets for their event. Carbonfund.org is leading the fight against global warming, making it easy and affordable for any individual, business or organization to reduce their impact on the climate and hasten the transition to a clean energy future. Carbon offsets vary in price based on factors such as number of guests, cars, flights, and hotel rooms. When a client purchases a carbon offset, One Atlantic works with Carbonfund.org to calculate the carbon emissions of the event in order to determine which package is appropriate. Client purchased carbon offsets will be used to support projects that reduce carbon emissions such as Reforestation & Avoided Deforestation or Renewable Energy & Methane Projects.

Farm to Table is Fabulous at One Atlantic

-          Looking for a unique and tasty way to make your event green? One Atlantic offers the service of a professional forager who can source food for the event from a portfolio of the finest farmers and producers in the region. One Atlantic also offers their signature 100-mile menu – a fresh and organic menu made from ingredients found within a 100 mile radius of Atlantic City. This unique option provides clients and guests a real “farm to table” dining experience. The menu will change based on season and availability of food products.

Evergreen Takeaways

-          To make a ‘green’ statement to guests attending an event, One Atlantic offers the option of giving favors made from seasonal and organic produce such as fresh peaches, blueberries, cranberries or honey, for jams, sauces and canned fruit, that are hand jarred, along with a handmade spoon from a local craftsperson. Depending on the season of the event, One Atlantic can also offer seed packets such as tarragon, lemon or thyme; with instructions for planting, as gifts for guests.

”Save the Trees” with Green-friendly Invitations & Stationary

-          One Atlantic offers simple solutions for clients looking to help save the planet. One such solution is to opt for eco-friendly invitations and stationary made from recycled paper, or eliminating paper completely and using digital invitations. Two Paperdolls, a One Atlantic vendor, based in Philadelphia and known nationwide for their wow-inspired, letterpress designs, is now offering Louella Press Invitations. These green, letterpress invitations are created from 100% cotton rag and recycled paper and create elegant and vintage invitations for any event.

“Green” Centerpieces

-          One Atlantic's portfolio of regional florists can guide each client to a decision on eco-friendly arrangements for centerpieces and florals for their event. For example, Beautiful Blooms, one of One Atlantic's premier vendors, offers clients the option of a "Box of Blooms" arrangement that features a colorful variety of fresh mixed flowers and greens in an organic natural wood box. This natural colored box works well with most color schemes and is also eco-friendly, allowing clients the ability to re-use the box for other arrangements or simply recycle after use.
