Importance of Going Green

It is the firm belief of One Big Fish that being conscientious of the environment and having a great time does not have to be mutually exclusive, so why not have the best of both worlds?!

Our goal is to connect you with sustainable and local eco-friendly resources, while at the same time making sure your event is an enjoyable and well orchestrated occasion.  When we all start making earth friendly choices, everyone involved in an event feels more fulfilled. One Big Fish believes that being environmentally savvy does not have to come at the cost of elegance.  

Our business network is compiled of experienced professionals including: invitation designers, caterers, bakers, green hotels, florists, rental companies, photographers, lighting specialists and entertainers, who are all committed to reducing environmental impact as part of their service and operations. 

We offer options for recycling all glass, paper and plastic used for your event.  We work with local food banks to donate suitable surplus food and provide floral arrangements to senior centers.
