3/22/2008- Andrea's Quinceanara

      One of the best parts of being a part of this industry is that we get the unique opportunity to work with events that are out of the norm, or are unique in their nature. March 22nd of 2008 we had two beautiful events. This post though deals with something that we are seeing more of, a celebration of passing and growing up that has been a part of other cultures for many years, but is now showing up more and more in American culture...The Quinceanara.

    This event was one of the largest in scope we have ever put together. An amazing team led by Pearl Taylor of Uniquely Your by Pearl was assembled months in advance to ensure this even delivered a show that was nothing short of spectacular The main event was held in the Marriot Watersides 3rd floor ballroom. Isha Foss of Isha Foss Events did an amazing job as always with the decor and assisting Pearl with many elements. We combined our video efforts with Pike Media Resources to deliver an unsurpassed lighting and live video experience, with top notch photographer Don Monteaux handling the photography services for the client. Marilen from Art Inspired handled the choreography, which of course began rehearsal months in advance.

    The night was complete with choreographed ballroom dancing numbers, a live singing performance by Andrea, as well as video segments of Andrea growing up, and speaking to the large attentive crowd. After a incredible dinner, the floor was taken over by the DJ Shaggy of radio station Z104 to lead a full event of dancing and fun for everyone there. It was nothing short of amazing.

    Along with the shear amount of work and talent that was involved in this event, I must say that we were also very impressed with Andrea herself. Cleary a talented young lady, she is also polite, charming, and friendly and was a pleasure to work with. She is certain to have a lot of great things in front of her, and wish her the best in her future.
