We were thrilled to once again get the call from
modern luxury with the ask to produce 2019’s best of san
francisco magazine event, after blowing it out of the
water last summer.
Understanding a lot of the intricacies of the event
from producing it last year meant we felt well-equipped to
dive-in this year, which was important as we had only two
months to bring the whole.
The magazine once again partnered with nonplus
ultra and we hosted the event at their newest facility, svn
west, a former car dealership, located at the intersection
of vanness and market.
If you live in the city, we don’t have to tell you about
all of the congestion the roadwork on vanness is causing,
which will come into play on the event day.
The venue also had an interesting peculiarity in that
they have no elevators. All equipment and materials have
to be pushed up a series of ramps with low ceilings or
brought in by hand.
There was also the option of a staircase which was
a physical challenge, especially with heavier items.
After securing the venue, we set to work designing
the event which was occurring in both the main ballroom
and rooftop space.
San francisco magazine is fortunate to have
amazing sponsors.
Figuring out how to design the floor plan while
meeting each sponsor’s needs was hard work! We
were able to delineate a VIP area inside the ballroom
using hedging from our rental partner, Hensley, event
resources, and upped the VIP experience by adding
an aerialist on a trapeze.
A magnificent sway pole performer who
partnered with celebrity cruises, who also features
sway poles on their ships!
On event day, our unbelievably talented A/V team, JL Imagination, were the
first to arrive, and our lead producer, Karen, was woken up by a phone call
from the owner, informing her that all of 12th Street which we had permitted for
load in vehicles, was filled with construction cranes and lifts.
This set off a series of early morning phone calls where we learned that city
construction trumps any permits granted. Luckily, because of their location, the
NPU owners have a good relationship with the construction company and were
able to ask them to relocate their equipment, while we also tried to clear the
opposite side of the street.
By noon, we were back in business, minutes before the rental and decor
trucks arrived.
One thousand guests attended the event and were treated to food by about 20
restaurant partners and drinks from ten wineries, multiple cocktail partners and
some of Tenth and Blake’s beer brands, as well as amazing music from our
band, The Party Starters, and a surprise Beach Blanket Babylon performance.
