Extreme Productions Blog Post

This blog notation below was taken from Extreme Productions Entertainment blog. Thought we would share what one of our team members had to say about our December 19th ~ 2009 courtyard inspired wedding event that we collaborated upon! Enjoy!

Again, endless kudos to Matt Brys and the Extreme Production Team Members for pulling off such a lovely and tremendous custom lighting endevour. You transformed our ballroom space into a true evening inspired outdoor courtyard!

The Sheraton Grand Hotel Transformed for an Italian/Guatemalan Inspired Wedding

December 22, 2009 by extremeprodjs.com

It’s funny. The significance of lighting and production design is never more apparent than when you want to take your guests on a journey or transform an event space to create a theme that fits your personality or vision. When Stephanie and Justin Castillo chose Extreme Productions Entertainment to be their DJ/MC and Lighting and Production company for their wedding, we JUMPED at the chance! Stephanie and Justin told us in our first planning meeting “We want to take our guests on a journey… we want to feel like we are celebrating in a courtyard in Guatemala… or Italy… or any of the other romantic courtyards we have ever visited.”

We love it when we have the opportunity to take guests on a journey!














The beautiful Sheraton Grand Hotel – Sacramento was the stage for this wonderful and fun event. Our design included dividing the ballroom into sections to accomplish the wedding courtyard reception (as pictured above) along with a beautiful rustic chapel inspired church setting for the ceremony to take place (below)














Debra and her team from Tres Fabu Event Planning and Design always go above and beyond. This wedding was no exception. Debra surprised our wonderful clients with a massive (and beautiful) working fountain complete with Italian paver tile. She even laid moss in the cracks to make it appear as if this piece of the courtyard had been there for years! Talk about a WOW factor!











When the bride and groom entered their reception in a private “room reveal”, their reaction said it all… “Over the top! WOW! We could not have imagined anything like this… we cannot believe this is OUR wedding!”

Those are the reactions we strive for!

We just received a wonderful thank you card from Stephanie and Justin! “Thank you for continuing to amaze us-days after our wedding. You really are the creators of magic and we are still in awe of how amazing our wedding was…”

Stephanie and Justin… the pleasure was all ours.

Our gratitude to Jana, Marcus, Mark, Chef Russell and the rest of the wonderful team at the Sheraton Grand Hotel Sacramento for always allowing us to create something fun and over the top for our clients. You are ALWAYS fun to work with!!! This event could not have been accomplished without the foresight, design inspiration and passion of Debra and her team at Tres Fabu Event Planning and Design. Debra… you never cease to amaze. Shelly with Floral Artistry… WOW! The floral… breathtaking! Our thanks to Cinzo Photography for the pictures for this BLOG (you rock!). Our deepest thanks to Bev, Stephanie, Justin and the family for allowing us to work with you, to take your vision and produce it for you. It was a blast.

We have had a handful of clients present their fabulous Champagne like this in the past ~ some with precision and some, well let's just say 'not so successful'.

In case you are contemplating this for your special event, wedding toast or grand New Years Eve toast ~ here are a few well laid out point of interests for you to take into consideration to ensure that not only is the Champagne still enjoyed but your presentation will be well received.

Wedding Note of Gratitude





















A few images of Stephanie & Justin's Courtyard Wedding Celebration! Stephanie wrote us a quick note of gratitude today ~ we thought we would share her thoughts so soon after her wedding which was on Saturday ~ December 19th ~ 2009 ~ The Sheraton Grand ~ Downtown ~ Sacramento.
___________________________

Debra,


I can't even organize my thoughts enough even now a few days after THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE.


Everyone on both sides of our families are inundating us with messages not only about amazingly gorgeous the wedding was, but how truly happy and magical we both looked, and this is because of you and your dream team.


After the holidays... and your next masterpiece wedding... I want to get all these thoughts running around in my head on paper and give them to you because at night I wake up and want to tell everyone how much I love them and appreciate them and it makes me cry in happiness because I truly do not remember feeling so happy in my life as felt on the night of my wedding.


Anyway, please let me know the best address for you and also I have to tell you...... thank goodness for Facebook because now I know I can always be your friend :)


Thanks again for everything, and talk to you soon I hope,


Your happiest bride ever, (seriously)


Stephanie Castillo


MERRY Christmas!!!

A Gift of Words


Christmas Greetings!

This is the time of year when one exchanges gifts with their loved ones. Whether it be your new fiance or a gift to be presented to your husband, wife, family member or dear friend. Truly, it is the meaning and thought behind the gift you choose to bless someone with. Instead of shopping for and purchasing a gift ~ try something unique and different.

There is nothing more powerful in my humble opinion, than pen to paper.

Think of how special this person is in your life; what they personally mean to you; how they enhance your life; enrich it; what they bring to your life to balance it or give it more meaning. Write how you feel in either a letter or a poem, perhaps a song. Use your own handwriting on a lovely piece of paper; hire a calligrapher to make your words a piece of art; or design your words in a design program and print it as a gift. All of the above would make for a fabulous gift.....either the paper itself; or in a scrapbook (for future additions throughout the years) or have it professionally matted and framed. Very fabulous!

This is truly an intimate gift from the heart and one that will be treasured throughout your years together as a family.

Warmest wishes this Christmas season and a very joyous New Year!

Lauren & David's Private Estate Wedding Film Highlight












December greetings to all ~

Going into this festive Christmas season as I write this blog post about a June Wedding Event, seems a bit funny, however, it feels like a short time ago that we all worked collectively as a tfep&d dream team to pull off Lauren & David's wedding extravaganza.

It is a little chilly now ~ but back in June it was 105 degree's in the infamous SacTown Valley heat! Looking back on this wedding film snippet ~ fills my heart with all the wonderful emotions from that day. A complete pleasure to of been of service for this family for over a years time. David, Lauren, and Lauren's parents, Roger and June Gualano ~ flew us down to Irvine to be interviewed by them early in 2008 and the tfep&d dream team was hired soon thereafter! We were so excited to be a part of thier wedding event team!

This wedding was an absolute fabulous feast of eye candy ~ especially where Shelley McArdle of Floral Artistry's divine floral creations were concerned. Lauren, our bride, wanted this event to speak volumes in florals......and did it!! Mammothly I might add. All of of Lauren's inspirational images that she collected were all of decadent florals and gorgeous tents. They held their event at David's, Aunt & Uncle's, private estate (can you say 25 acres worth of uber fab property????) in the Elk Grove/Wilton area......a favorite place of his to visit as a child all the way into adulthood.....and continues today. The estate is kept immaculately like a private park. Nature's glory and bounty at every turn.

Lauren & David live in Southern California, Irvine, and both have full time jobs and are studying for their Master's Degree in Accounting at UC Irvine ~ while holding down their 40+ hour work weeks in addition. What is so great, they do not even look like accountants ~ more like glamorous actors in love! Have to love that! I completely adored pulling this wedding event together with our dream team of professional vendors and turning our clients ideas into one hot reality! All of their guests were from SoCal and around the globe. The only people that lived locally were the estate owners themselves!

Our couple honeymooned in Dubai for awhile ~ then jetted off to Bora Bora to a private island for rest, relaxation and reflection regarding their new status as Mr. & Mrs.!

Enjoy their wedding film highlight put together with care by Phill Sheffield of Sheffield Multimedia. Hope you love it as much as we do!

Warmest wishes and Happy Holidays!

Bonjour!
