Ariyana's Sweet 16 Cruise on The Cornucopia Destiny in Hoboken, NJ

Ariyana's family chartered Cornucopia Cruise Line's Destiny yacht and invited her friends and relatives to set sail from Hoboken's 14th Street Pier and celebrate her special day.

Blue was the color of the evening, as Ariyana's two elegant dresses, cake, décor accents, and full ballroom uplighting all reflected the hues in the water. Hurricane Productions videographer Markus Robinson filmed the highlights of Ariyana's cruise, while photographers captured fun candids on the dance floor, as well as formal shots with the breathtaking New York City skyline and the Statue of Liberty as the backdrop.

DJ Nate Hawley and MC Robert Padovano got the party started and provided entertainment throughout the entire event. Guests of all ages danced the night away to the favorite tunes of Ariyana and her family. Hurricane's lighting director Nick Nittoli arranged for Twin Totem lighting, uplighting, and a "Name in Lights" display to set the tone for the celebration, while a custom photo montage of the guest of honor played during dinner. Ariyana's friends and family were also able to enjoy a fun open-air photo booth to create some memories of their own.

Samantha's Indian-Inspired Elephant Sweet 16 at Excelsior in Saddlebrook, NJ

The Excelsior in Saddlebrook, NJ was transformed into an Indian-inspired wonderland for Samantha's celebration.

Samantha donned an elegant red and gold saree and beautiful henna body art for her special day. The ladies in her court, who also wore traditional sarees, were dressed in gold, blue and purple, while the rest of Samantha's guests wore black, creating a visually stunning color contrast on the dance floor.

In ancient folklore and Indian mythology, an elephant with its trunk facing up signifies good luck and fortune. This symbolic elephant, a favorite of high schooler Samantha Demayo, became the focal point of the décor when she celebrated her Sweet 16.

Hurricane Productions made sure that every aspect of the evening went off without a hitch. DJ Alvin Gay and MC Robert Padovano kept everyone on their feet, while Hurricane photographers captured portraits and candid shots of the guest of honor with her friends and family.

The red full ballroom uplighting and twin totem lights perfectly complemented Samantha's red, white and gold color scheme. Samantha also opted for a custom animation based on her theme, which was displayed on 42" TV screens for her guests to enjoy.
