Event Entertainment Report: Live from Anaheim: Stevie Nicks

-

We were very honored and excited to work with the iconic Rock Goddess Stevie Nicks
- and it turned out to be a wonderful experience all around!

Event Date: October 22nd, 2016
Event Location: City National Grove of Anaheim
Guest Count: 650

We have been working with this client for their annual fundraising gala for several years.
Guest count and dollar amount raised have increased steadily.
In 2016 the event moved from a hotel ballroom to the Grove to accommodate the growing soiree.

This wonderful concert venue in Anaheim, CA, allowed for a larger musical entertainment headliner.
Ted Bowers: "The Grove is a great venue for concerts. The size of the showroom allows for an intimate experience combined with great acoustics and undisturbed, close up views of the stage. You’ll never find a bad seat in the house. We integrated supplemental video and lighting systems required to support the program as well as sound requirements by Stevie Nicks. The experienced production staff at the Grove makes the venue very user friendly for private corporate events.
A long-term supporter of our client made the connection with Stevie Nicks who agreed to perform for a good cause just prior to opening her own fall 2016 tour, the "24 Karat Gold Tour" which kicks off in Phoenix, AZ, on October 25th.
She gave it her all last night!

Kristen Rensch: "Stevie and her band were very aware of the primary mission of the night: raising funds for a very good cause. They were very gracious with their time and happily adapted to schedule changes!"
Stevie Nicks also donated a signed tambourine, her signature on-stage instrument, and several tickets for the attendance to the Meet-and-Greet after the concert.

Once she gained the stage she delivered 150%, greeting the audience in a warm and personal manner, thanking them for supporting a good cause. She repeatedly applauded the donors for their generous donations.

And she rocked the house. Corporate shows can be disappointing for stars as not everyone in the room may be a fan.
Not a worry for Stevie Nicks and her band. The mosh pit was packed, the room was on their feet, everyone stayed late.

We were particularly impressed with her dedication to the good cause and her patience and graciousness towards fans.

We were fans before this event, we ❤ her more now.

Carolyn Vasi has attended every Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac concert in the Southland since the 1970s. We plan on being at the Forum for the final night of the tour with her.

Site Report from The Fabulous Forum in Inglewood

We recently had a Fabulous Tour of the Fabulous Forum, courtesy of our friend Jill Przelenski, Director, Special Events & Family Entertainment. In a nutshell: the re-invented Forum deserves the media hype it received. Eagles' Glenn Frey exclaimed: “The Forum is the best sounding large building anywhere in the world. Take my word for it, we’ve played them all.” It also offers exquisite event space possibilities that allow us to create a VIP Experience of any size! The legendary Forum Club serves as special entrance for private and corporate events. It's a VIP Experience from the first moment onward as this area has special parking privileges and street access.  Painting and maintenance crews were hard at work inside and outside of  the new hall that reopened in January 2014.  Jill Przelenski: "We don't allow any wear and tear. Paint, carpets, furnishings - everything gets lots of attention and is constantly updated." Forum Red, inspire

San Luis Obispo Museum of Art - wrapped in The Red Line by Doron Gazit. Since we last checked in with Doron Gazit, the artist and industrial designer has lined multiple locations in California with The Red Line and his art work is currently on exhibit at the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art as well as The Loft at Liz's in Los Angeles. He is being mentioned in one breath with Cristo! We look forward to working with Doron to wrap an environmentally themed event. We were happy to report on The Red Line at the Dead Sea in September 2015. In the 8 months since, Doron has installed his environmental awareness art project in several locations in drought ravaged California. As always The Red Line concept highlights the impact of Global Warming on the environment. In December of 2015, The Red Line snaked through the Pyramid Lake burn area, just North of Los Angeles. Doron Gazit: "After my Red Line installation in the sinkholes of the Dead Sea, I continued to draw the line

Our Floral Designer Rebecca Motus featured on ABC's The Bachelor on Valentine's Day

Love was on the air last night on ABC's 20th Anniversary Valentine's Day Special of The Bachelor; also covered by People Magazine. The floral decor was designed and created by none other than our floral designer Rebecca Fernandez Motus. We are really proud of Rebecca Motus' achievement: designing and creating all the florals for this primetime TV event! Rebecca: "I met the producers of the show through a friend who recommended me when they were looking for a designer to create the floral decor for this 20th anniversary extravaganza. It was a wonderful opportunity to show my work to millions of people. The special was filmed at the St. Regis Monarch Beach and as everything in television, it took many, many hours to produce this 2-hour special. I spent five days on set, building the floral decor. And those 5 nights were pretty much sleepless. Many days we worked until midnight and I had to get to the Downtown Flower Market by 3AM to get fresh flowers. However, des
