Read MoreJamie and Maxwell reached out to Fierce Productions for our Coordination and Management package—Jamie had mostly booked all the vendors and just wanted expert advice to help guide the final steps and run the big day. They were looking for an “opulent minimalist” wedding. The restrained color palette was white and green. The decor was high-quality but limited to give each piece a bigger impact. Everything was elegant and luxurious, but they still featured smaller aspects that encapsulate their relationship into their wedding, which created playful but personal moments.

In regards to the style of wedding they desired, they reached out to Fierce Productions because they wanted a wedding ceremony that blended Indian Hindu ceremonies, and western traditions. It was to be a relaxed, colorful, and intimate celebration with loved ones.
Read MoreWe are big supporters of celebrating your milestones in life, work, or as a business. We were beyond thrilled when we were hired to design a joint 50th corporate anniversary party, and holiday celebration. Due to it being a major milestone, they wanted to elevate the party with something unique and memorable. We came up with the idea of “glamour and glitz,” so you can bet we had tons of gold and sparkles! But since it was a Fierce event, we didn’t stop there. We had moving golden statues, indoor cold sparklers, a live jazz band, and even a flash mob to start the dance floor. It truly was a memorable night for the team, and a great way to sign off before the holidays.
