Bringing One Water Day to Life: How Critic’s Choice Produced an Unforgettable Event for Heal the Bay

When Heal the Bay envisioned their inspiring One Water Day — a celebration of water conservation, environmental advocacy and community connection — they entrusted Critic’s Choice Catering & Event Production to bring their vision to life. From the first spark of an idea to the final clean-up, our team handled every detail with care, creativity and purpose, showcasing not only our culinary artistry but also our passion for thoughtful and sustainable event design.

Full-Service Production from Start to Finish

From venue setup to timeline management, Critic’s Choice produced One Water Day from the ground up. We worked closely with Heal the Bay to design a cohesive experience that reflected their mission—seamless, sustainable, and inspiring.

Individually Packaged Cuisine with Purpose

In keeping with Heal the Bay’s eco-friendly mission, we designed a menu of individually packaged meals using locally sourced, sustainable ingredients. Each meal was not only delicious, but also packaged with minimal environmental impact.

Custom Panel Seating & Stage Design

Central to the event was the dynamic panel discussion—and we made sure it looked as good as it sounded. Our team designed custom panel seating with clean lines and natural materials, integrating lush plants throughout to create an organic backdrop that mirrored the day’s theme.

Seamless Sound & AV Production

Great conversations deserve to be heard. We provided state-of-the-art audio and visual solutions to support the panel, presentations, and programming throughout the day. From crisp sound to clean visuals, we ensured technical excellence without distraction.

A Space Transformed

Plants and floral styling brought warmth and life to the space, aligning perfectly with the event’s environmental mission. Every plant and prop was intentionally selected to enhance the atmosphere while remaining in harmony with the natural setting.

Flawless Coordination for a Seamless Guest Experience

From managing vendor load-ins to keeping the program on schedule, our event production team worked behind the scenes to make sure guests could fully engage with the experience without distraction. Every element, from meal distribution to panel transitions, was handled with precision so that the day unfolded effortlessly for attendees and speakers alike.

A Celebration of Impact

One Water Day wasn’t just an event—it was a reflection of what’s possible when mission-driven organizations and thoughtful production come together. At Critic’s Choice, we were proud to help Heal the Bay tell their story through every plate served, seat placed, and detail designed.
