All About Us
Why Absolutely Wild?
Absolutely Wild’s founding partners possess a unique set of complimentary skills that has led them to the very top of the events world. The more than twenty-year collaboration between Peter Cunningham and Paolo Mizrahi is one of talent and excellence, as their satisfied roster of Leading Fortune 500 and social clients will attest.
Peter
Peter brings a hospitality mindset to the table and his exceptional people skills were honed when he managed household internationally for celebrities and corporate leaders. Peter drives the operational magic behind the scenes, but will also be there onsite making sure that everything is where it should be, when it should be, and delivered on time with a smile. His deep artistic sensibilities took him from household management to floral artist, where he worked for leading companies and then to found the fledgling Absolutely Wild, focusing on corporate floristry. In 2002 he met Paolo Mizrahi, they pooled their talents and Absolutely Wild was reborn as full-service event design company.
Paolo
Paolo draws on his experience in interior design and as a fine art painter to create stylish events notable for their dynamic use of color. He believes that each client needs a unique, tailored solution and will look at every aspect of the event and physical space to create a bespoke experience. He is a firm believer in the use of lighting to create atmosphere and instantly transform even the most challenging of environments. Paolo takes a fashion-forward approach to the use of fabrics, and his rich
original table linens are a key part of any experience. He has designed and produced custom soft and wooden furnishings for special occasions where “off the peg” rental products are not the right fit. From a first meeting with Paolo, through to the fulfillment of the event, his passion, creativity, attention to detail and strong work ethic make him a great partner who will inspire confidence and allow his clients to enjoy an unforgettable experience.
Over the past twenty years they have grown to do special events from New York to Mexico and beyond. They specialize in large scale events. It is not uncommon for their events to have 1500 guests for a full gala or produce three events in one day for a corporate launch. Many of their galas and corporate event clients have relied upon the services of Absolutely Wild for many years and enjoy working harmoniously with them on each new project. They also relish a well curated intimate destination wedding and find they can bring the best memories. And always with a modern forward-looking twist.
​
One of the best attributes to AW design philosophy is they do not have a “look”. It is much more important to create the right design for the space, client and time. With large scale events there is often a limited opportunities to host such number of guests and so galas and events will use the same venue for may years if not decades. We specialize in the ability to design new look & feel to the space over and over again. We have the vision to re-envision.
