2015 is coming to a close. Boy has the year gone by quickly. There are many "Top of the Year" blogs and articles around the New Year. So I decided to put one of these together for our over 50 events we have done in 2015. It's hard to choose just a few since I believe every single event we did we really enjoyed. The people we worked with this year were all amazing individuals. So I decided to just post a few pictures that got the most interactions on our Eclipse Effect Entertainment Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

1. Jonathan & Naomi's Wedding at the Sheraton Convention Center: The set up of this wedding surprised us because of how versatile the Sheraton Convention Center is with lighting. This room is probably one the most versatile of all venues in Kailua-Kona. There is just so much potential for elegance. Jonathan and Naomi were fantastic people to work with too.




2. Black and White Night After Party 2015 at the Palace Theater: The Palace Theater is one of the toughest venues to light up. That place is huge! There were many times while setting up lights at the top row of seats that we realize we left a cord that we needed at the floor level seats. With a tough set up the hard work always pays off. The Palace Theater is also one of our favorite places to work since the results always look grand. Plus just knowing that your are working in such a historical location is just the icing on the cake.




3. Johnny & Malia's Wedding at the Waikoloa Beach Marriott: This wedding was great. Malia and Johnny did many choreographed dances at their wedding. Choreographed dances make weddings so memorable and create so much excitement. It takes a little more work, but that works always pays off. I'm sure their guests won't forget the good times of this wedding.



4. Jacob & Chanel's Wedding at the Hilo Daijingu: This wedding definitely stood out for us because we had such a great time working with the bride's grandmother Pua. She was very well organized and just a sweet lady. This wedding also had a theme. It was an asian theme so we were able to customize this wedding more with lighting. On the stage is the bamboo gobos. It's always fun to create a new lighting design.



5. Greg & Crystalyn's Wedding at the Wainaku Executive Center: It was our first event of 2015 and it was a beach themed wedding. We did lighting in teal and blue on the building with a palm tree pattern in the grass. The Wainaku Executive Center has a first class look to the venue with a great view of Hilo Bay. Definitely one of the top wedding venues in Hilo.




Thanks to all the couples and people that we got a chance to work with in 2015. There were many good times. Thanks also to the hard working staff of June, Jake, Nikki, Kyle, Tony, Cole, and Sonny for all the great help and creative ideas. We're looking forward to more challenges and great times to come in 2016. Have a Happy New Year!
