5. Carly’s ‘Winter Wonderland’ inspired Sweet 16
When: January 15, 2011
Where: Madeline’s on Vosseller – Bound Brook, NJ

When Carly’s dad called Hurricane Productions in late 2010, he said that his daughter really deserved a special celebration.

Danielle and her family pictured an elegant event with a throwback to the Aubrey Hepburn days.
Inspired by the movie ‘Breakfast at Tiffanys’ the room design focused on a beautiful ‘Name in Lights’ gobo using the Tiffany font while blue uplighting accented the ballroom at Courtyard on Main in Freehold, NJ.
3. Gus and Kristin’s Wedding
When: March 25, 2011
Where: Nanina’s in the Park – Belleville, NJ
The Story:
Before pursuing Hurricane Productions full-time, Strato worked with his father at a family owned and operated auto repair shop in Maplewood, NJ.
During his time at the shop, Strato grew close with Gus – a technician at L&J Motors for nearly 10 years.
When it was finally time for Gus to ask the love of his life to marry him, the couple reached out to Strato to help them plan the celebration.
Gus and Kristin’s wedding shows the versatility of Hurricane Productions.
Hurricane fused the couples’ cultural backgrounds (Greek and Irish) into its music selection for the evening.
