Wet and Wild: The Bnai Mitzvah of Chandler and Tyler

March 9, 2010 at 11:17 pm (Events, ISES, Locations, Maryland, Mitzvahs, Videography, Virginia, Washington, DC)

The dry part of the festivities began at the Woodmont Country Club in Rockville, Maryland.  The Bnai Mitzvah ceremony took place outside on the back terrace of the club on a absolutely beautiful Saturday afternoon.  After the ceremony, people adjourned to the Main Ballroom, which had been transformed into the 530 club.  Everything was white, from the carpet to the white leather seating.  It truly was the place to be. After the 3 hr party in the main ballroom, everyone got into their bathing suites and dove into the final stage of the celebration…the pool party!   With fire pits, cabanas, smores and a DJ, this party definitely made a splash.  Patty, Stacy, Taylor and Melissa from Plan-it Parties beautifully orchestrated everything.  Special thanks goes to David Depas (Photographers Gallery) and Talk of the Town for all of their hard work.  Lastly, a special thanks to our client for raising such wonderful kids.

Sam’s 60th Birthday Party

February 12, 2010 at 10:41 pm (Uncategorized)

Turning 60 years old is quite a milestone in a person’s life and what better way to celebrate than to have all of your closest friends together for a flashback party to the 1970’s. I’m not sure even John Travolta could have kept up with this group as they danced the night away on a replica dance floor from Saturday Night Fever. Even the birthday cake was modeled after a discoball. All night the DJ kept the party rollin by playing all the disco hits from the 70’s. Everything was beautifully orchestrated by Sandy Hoffman of Sandy Hoffman Events. Photography was by Robert Isacson of Robert Isacson Photography. And special thanks to Amal from the Park Hyatt Washington DC.

Take a look at this fabulous video of the love story of Isabella and Peter.  Completed in the style of a music video, take a walk with the couple through a day in their lives and learn about how they met and fell in love!  From gourmet meals at home through walks in the neighborhood with their dog, Henry, and a stop at the local Starbucks, we captured their story, incorporating their favorite song, “Love you till the end”.

The film debuted on our large screen just before they were introduced as husband and wife.  They received a standing ovation from all of their guests.  We had as much fun as they did!

Scroll down to see the same day edit below the love story.  Our talented crew put together a dynamic five minute film that captured all the fun and excitement of the wedding day.  It was edited during the wedding and showed on our large screen just before the cake cutting.  The guests were surprised and delighted to see this fantastic look back film of the day.

Suburban Video Film Hits 110,000 Views on YouTube!

November 19, 2009 at 10:18 pm (Uncategorized) (, , , , )

This was the first film Suburban Video ever put on YouTube. The response from the Persian community was overwhelming, so much that YouTube made it a featured video. Inquiries came from all over the world, as far away as the Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, and Canada. The viral impact from people seeing this all over the world has been overwhelming!

The background for this Persian wedding was the Crystal Room at the Willard Intercontinental Hotel in Washington, DC. Bill Bowen and Cara Bowen filmed in high definition the story of the bridal couple’s day in dramatic cinematic style. The fabulous ceremony sofreh and party décor was provided by Patrice Golesorkhi of Exclusively Events. Len DePas of Photographer’s Gallery took breathtaking photographs. The reception was held in Willard’s ballroom and featured dramatic lighting and ethnic music by the famous Davood Behboodi that kept the party hopping all night. It was a magical day and we are honored to be part of Camelia and Aarash’s wedding day.
