Our Lady of Fatima Parish in Elizabeth, NJ isn’t your typical Sweet 16 venue, but it sure shined for this Portuguese Sweet 16.
The attached Lady Of The Arches banquet hall serves as an exceptional space for your next event. Claudia and her family knew the elegant and classic feel of their Parish could be transformed into an unforgettable Sweet 16. Valenca restaurant catered the event with a myriad of traditional and delicious Portuguese dishes. With total service from Hurricane Productions, Claudia’s coming-of-age party was one that wouldn’t soon be forgotten.
Hurricane Productions provided night-club inspired lighting, full-room uplighting, bubble machine, haze effects, a custom name-in-lights gobo, 6 totem fixtures and 4 screens; this church was decked out!
The openness of Lady of the Arches hall allowed the whole space to be beautifully washed out in Claudia’s favorite, Tiffany blue.
Claudia specially requested star emcee Robbie ‘Maserobbiee’ Padovano for her party. Along with carefully curated music, including traditional Portuguese music provided by DJ Strato Doumanis, professional photography by Nick Nittoli, Alena Crescenzo, and David Costantini; including a specially requested photo shoot on the Red Bank waterfront, Claudia truly felt like a princess on her special day.
Hurricane Productions turned Claudia’s Sweet 16 into an experience, not only for Claudia and her family, but for all of her friends too. Hurricane Pulse, an Instagram photo booth, allowed guests to use the tag #Claudia16. As the tag was used on Instagram and Twitter, the messages and photos streamed directly to the screens at Claudia’s event. Photos can also be printed instantly and given to guests in frames as a favor.
