I like large parties. They’re so intimate. At small parties there isn’t any privacy.
– F. Scott Fitzgerald
There is something so beautiful and tragic about The Great Gatsby, which is why its been reenacted in so many versions on-screen. In celebration of the newest rendition to hit the silver screen CC Events went to glittertown in an ode to 1920’s glamour, love, deceit and wild abandon. We invited a few friends over to the CC Events HQ and completely splashed the place in gold, silver and glitter!
West Egg Long Island was a posh place and we figured that only the chicest played badmitton which is why we spray painted the birdies silver and doused the paddles in gold and made em into escort cards for our guests to find their seats!
We love sparkle and how it totally played into the movie so adding splashes of gold where we could was an absolute must! The fringe wall and silver stars doubled as a photography backdrop!
Champagne goes well with everything, including glitter. CC Events added a little something extra to these bottles to compliment the Gatsby vibe.

CC Events worked closely with GCK PARTNERS on the Hublot + Kobe Bryant event that took place at THE LONDON HOTEL WEST HOLLYWOOD. Kobe was announced as Hublots newest ambassador and on the roof of The London a press conference was held in conjunction with the Kobe Bryant Foundation. Soon after the press announcement 65 VIPS were invited to a sit-down dinner with GQ Magazine who dined on Gordan Ramsey’s amazing cuisine . Guests included Zac Efron, Jimmy Kimmel, Brad Goreski, Jesse Williams and more.
We were thrilled with how the flowers and tablescapes came out. Oh, and the custom-made basketball court over the pool was pretty insane too!

One of our favorite clients Sonos, the maker of HiFi wireless speakers wanted to have a massive presence at SXSW: the interactive, film and music festival taking place in Austin TX in March. The theme of the event was Listen, Play and Create and CC Events was retained to run all production, stage the compound + decorate and help to manage all marketing aspects.
CC Events found a small compound behind the Austin convention center that boasted a large courtyard where two houses and a barn sat. It was the perfect spot for five days of entertaining. The courtyard was where the stage would be set up and where we would host over 17 bands, 65 artists and 5 films screenings. It was also used as an awesome lounge area where CC Events brought in food trucks, juice bars, coffee stands and VIP bars for the over 10,000 attendees to enjoy.
And a HUGE shout out to C3 PRESENTS who were a solid production team on the ground to help make this all happen!
Stage, Crowd, Party

Listen
Guests were able to Listen to live music daily, be a part of panel discussions by Deadmau5 and Jared Leto and watch amazing music documentaries at night. Inside the red house boasted the KCRW lounge where Jason Bentley hosted Morning Eclectic all week from 11am-2pm. CC Events curated and designed the listening room where demo’s of Sonos product took place. We also teamed up with BECORE who conceptualized and created the insanely popular neon furniture in one of the product demo room. This room also became a place for all our late night DJ’s sets by Passion Pit and A trac who DJ’ed through Sonos system until the wee hours in the morning.

Create
The yellow house is where we would Create. Inside a “Build a Speaker Workshop” and Rudy’s Barbershop Pop Up were housed. We set up a full workshop curated by IMPRINT PROJECTS complete with workbenches, Sonos speaker drivers along with interactive tutorial as to how sound is created. A host taught people how to make a speaker from everyday objects like boxes, balloons, duct tape and more. Over 500 speakers were made that week. Next door to the speaker workshop we engaged Rudy’s where they gave over 40 haircuts per day!

Haircuts for all!

We had a mighty task ahead of us as we had to decorate two houses that were completely bare. One of those rooms was the Listening Room in the main house. Here the client would give demo’s of their product and it had to be equal parts cool and awesome to sit in and also be acoustically sound!
We went to some crazy spots in Austin, one of which was this old Hippie lady who had a shop called Things of the Past and we picked up books and records (all absorb sound well) that would fill the houses with elements that would enhance the overall vibe. Just imagine, this room was totally empty! We love staging rooms for a purpose and this one was all about SOUND!
These below were in the attic that we made into a media VIP and interview room. Lets say things were cozy!!
