Had the privilege to service one of Los Angeles most Legendary venues this past weekend, the Park Plaza.
Historic, glamorous and definitely one of a kind: Park Plaza’s magnificent architecture and stunning decor provided the perfect backdrop for Kim's Wedding!Wedding Ceremony took place Open Air in the Courtyard, decorated Gazebo and Gold Chivairi Chairs fit in perfectly.Sound was provided and placed inside the Ballroom facing out while being covered by a drape, in other words you can hear but not see, as it should be. 
Once the Cermony was over the guest proceeded to the Cocktail Room in the Gold Room and the final touches to the Ballroom where done.
Ambient Uplights and PinSpots for Centerpieces made the perfect combination to make the Room even more special.Click on the Video below:Park Plaza SetupEntertainment and Presentation was key for the customer and this was made clear with the Special Effects (Dry Ice) and Art Dancers displayed during the Opening of the Ballroom for dinner

Ferrari of Newport Beach has been a great customer of ours for the past few years. From lighting up there Showrooms off PCH to the opening of their sister store Maserati of Newport Beach, they have given us the privilege to provide our services. The team in-house is always great to work with and well the showroom and cars? C'mon they’re Ferraris! What more can you ask for, right?The personal service that Ferrari brings to its customers is phenomenal. This year they held a Customer Appreciation Dinner at Mastros Ocean Club. Here are some pictures taken by our good friend and freelance photographer Alfonso Mercado:

This past Saturday we got to service a Historical Landmark, the Los Angeles Union Station. for Accenture's Yearly Corporate Event. Working with our good Friend and Coordinator Julie Tran, we were able to provide our lighting service and enhance the visuals from the Venue. 
While the Venue Location is breathtaking for it's vintage 1930's decor, we quickly realized during the planning stage that we needed to provide some additional assistance with power, so with this said, power distribution was provided by an external generator. A couple of distro boxes where placed and problem solved! 
Unloading was not difficult at all, the representative from Hollywood Locations was VERY helpful and knowledgeable of the venue. Equipment was quickly loaded into the venue and set-up was a breeze. Providing everything from Uplights to Leko Gobo projections to Video Playback, our instal crew had it all ready to go in under 2 hours.
The venue definitely got an upgrade with the Lighting!
Placing the company logo on top the entry archway was the personal touch given to the venue for the night. With our DMX programmable lighting we are able to flip thru colors and choose one that best fits the decor. Here are some below:
We definetly had a great time setting up here, we are very gratefull to Accenture for allowing us to service there event for the 2nd year in a row, we cant wait until next year! Photo Credit: Alfonso Mercado Studios
Located near Mountain Rubidoux we come along to a restored plantation style home called The Crestmore Manor, in what used to be the stables in the back, there is now a reception center used by many for weddings and special events.However with this wedding being held in October, an outdoor reception was in order.The layout was completely designed by the lovely couple Javer & Cindy. We got the call to provide our Bistro String Lighting and Dancefloor Wash. With Power Distribution being the only issue in our minds, we managed to make it happen and made the Area SHINE...just see below:

Located in the heart of the Temecula Wine Valley, we arrived to a beautiful Wedding Location, The Ponte Family Estate Winery. This was Lyda and Darrell's BIG DAY! Booked months in advance we where able to meet and plan out every detail that the couple had in mind, from the lighting scheme to placement and cues.The Ceremony was placed at the perfect location, facing the vineyard, with Elegant seating and a chandelier above the Altar, no detail was overlooked.
The Reception area was great to work with, Vaulted Ceilings, Chandeliers and a Light Plum uplighting, this gave the Room the Elegance deisred by the couple.
Pinspots also gave the Centerpieces enough light to make them stand out, not to mention hightlighting the cake.
First Dances where synched to perfection this shot captures just that!
Come Dancing time, the crowd was awesome, from the bigining to the end, there was alot of energy, making it a memorable night for Lyda and Darrell.
Cannot wait to return, a great Event and Venue indeed!

The table setting and centerpiece where both choosen by Virginia and the Dancefloor was provided by us...YES we now provide Seamless White Dancefloors.

If it is one bride that we have worked with that just new exactly what she wanted, this was her, Marie. Since our first meeting some 8 months ago to talking over last minute details via phone, text and email, Marie and Doug let us know exactly what they envisioned and expected. This really helped us to be able to provide a Memorable Service. From the awesome Venue to the Ice Bar and the decor lighting, everything really came together just perfectly.The Reception was with no doubt soo much fun! This really was a fun couple to work with. Check out some of the captures our good friends at Gavin Wade Photography have shared with us:

One of the Events we serviced this past weekend was held at the Vibiana. This Venue has 130 years of rich Los Angeles history, 35,000 square feet of luxurious space, baroque inspired interiors, an expansive lush garden, all set in the heart of downtown.
The venue hosts a wide range of events including fashion shows, fundraisers, live entertainment, and wedding ceremonies and receptions.Like many venues, we had a scheduled arrival time of 11am. Our install took about 4 hours. We placed over 40 Ambient LED Wash Uplights set to Eggplant Purple, 2 Design Lights with Amber gels, 4 Intelligent Moving Heads, 32 Pin Spots and a Projection Screen in the balcony. 
Since the Venue is primarily white in color with Marble pillars, we did our best to Highlight the Architecture by adding a wash of color. The Vibiana Staff goes to great lengths to conserve the Venues esthetics and we understand why.....it is simply an amazing Building.

This last Saturday's Event was indeed EPIC. We were able to work alongside a great group of vendors and Event Coordinators at the California Science Center in Los Angeles Ca.The Corporate Function was held alongside a piece of history, the Endeavour Space Shuttle! Recently retired from Space flights, it has found a home in DTLA.With Casino Royal being the Events Theme, it was decided to WASH the Hangar with Teal LED's without compromising the Shuttles appearance, so we made sure to spotlight Endeavour with nothing more than the good old' Lekos. These provided just the right amount of light to make the Shuttle POP out.The install crew was great, managed to run power and lighting in under 2-1/2 hours.

Bring a bit of old world charm to your special event with Italian String Lights. This lighting effect has decorative globe lamps, spaced at intervals, creating a lighting string of lamps that can be suspended over an area such as a dancefloor or an outdoor patio.
When it comes to Weddings, it sets the mood for by giving off a sense of romance and elegance. Candles of all shapes and sizes have been used for years to decorate weddings and are still being used today. As beautiful as candles look there are other ways brides are lighting up their reception. One of our favorite ways is to use string lighting.
See something missing from this Wedding Reception shot? Let me give you a clue, it is what gets you dancing....yes the DJ and sound placement. Most DJ's tend to place there sound in the front of the hall facing the guests thinking that it's the best way for sound to travel. Others like to show what they have and beleive that SIZE matters, the more speakers the better it sounds. This my friends is not the case! We must always keep in mind the Wedding Venue Esthetics! Never try to take away attention from the ocassion....the WEDDING. Check out the following set-up by a Los Angeles based Disc Jockey "DJDANNI" from Clubzlive:
This set-up not only provides powerful sound, but keep the Wedding Venue Esthetics. This specific speaker is the QSC K10. 1000watts powered speaker with throw at 90deg. (And no, I do not work for QSC, just loved their K series)So please remember ESTHETICS ESTHETICS ESTHETICS, we alwasy want the Venu to look it's best, our clients will appreciate that for years to come. The last thing a couple wants to see and show off in their Wedding Albums are the speakers used on their special day.
