In the South we enjoy temperate weather during the winter months. So what do you do when your event theme is a winter wonderland. You call CareySound of course to make it snow. The following pictures were taken a few weeks ago at the Lasater Mill House in Lewisville for their Gift of Giving social event and open house. Over 800 people attended the two day gala and CareySound brought the snow while Sterling Events provided the furniture and decor.

Mission: Elegant Evening

Grandover Resort, Greensboro, NC - CareySound may have had its beginning as an audio company but our roots go much deeper harnessing the technological magic of event theatrics — fleshing out the dreams of our customers and fulfilling fantasies. When event specialist Veronica Foster approached us a several months ago with a request to create a lavish ballroom experience featuring a very large nine foot by twenty-four foot dazzling crystal centerpiece that hung 6 foot tall over a huge white dance floor we jumped at the chance.

Special challenges presented themselves to our CareySound team from the very beginning of the project. The event was to take place in the large Grandview Ballroom located in the heart of the luxurious Grandover Resort Complex located in central North Carolina. The hotels strict policies on hanging anything, much less a huge centerpiece, was particularly challenging. Couple this to the very high profile of the invited guests that was to include local dignitaries, out of town professionals and the governor of the state, it required a lot of creative engineering and consultation with hotel staff. There was no room for error in its implementation. We basically had to provide a safe support structure for the hanging crystals where there was none in the ballroom ceiling.

The client, their over four hundred invited guests and the hotel management all agreed that the CareySounds solution was spectacular.


From Cool Blue to Red Hot at a flick of the switch.

Thirty–four interconnected LED light fixtures surrounding the ballroom provided a dynamic saturation of color that changed the mood in the room throughout the night without elevating the temperature in the hall. They utilized existing power outlets throughout the room without the need for additional power distribution.

It’s officially summer and if you get stuck without something to do we have a few suggestions.


During the summer months of June thru August City Arts Music Center of the Greensboro Parks and Recreation Department along with various other community partners sponsor a series of free musical performances every Sunday evening at 6 PM known as Music for a Sunday Evening in the Park (MUSEP). This year we Celebrate 32 years of this time–honored tradition that is held at different outdoor venues throughout the city and it's expansive park system.

Please join CareySound this summer as Greensboro showcases its finest musical talent. Get there early to get a parking spot, pick the perfect place to lay out your picnic and join us for the show.

Every Wednesday, Center City Park provides free live music during lunchtime. Bring your lunch, kick back and relax to some cool tunes with some of the Triad's best artists!

In collaboration with First Friday, Center City Park livens up the heart of downtown with live music, Indie Market craft vendors and activities for children every First Friday from 7:00pm to 10:00pm, May through October

College Night every Thursday is Greensboro’s hottest dance night at Greene Street Club in the heart of downtown with their newly upgraded sound system. And every Saturday night it’s Latin Night . These are always busy nights so it is always a good idea to get there early.

Join us for free movie nights in the Park! Every third Friday from May - September, there will be a different family–friendly movie. The screen is bigger this year, and the movie start time has been moved later so it will be dark. Bring family, friends, blankets or lawn chairs, and spare change to buy popcorn and candy!
