Event Extravagant Group

When a company boasts having “everything you need under one roof,” it’s often a promise woefully undelivered. With Event Extravagant Group, that promise plays out 24 hours a day, seven days a week through the most diversified, hands-on, dedicated event-planning business in California. With eight companies under one roof, offering 27 services in five cities (San Francisco, Sacramento, Napa, Modesto and Monterey), Event Extravagant provides a specialized menu for any event. With founder and creative director Chris Irish at the helm, Event Extravagant has serviced large intricate events, such as PeopleSoft’s extravagant party for thousands on Treasure Island or the San Francisco 49ers’ Christmas party, to intimate weddings or parties organized by families seeking that personal touch. Founded by Irish in as Next Fx, a themed-event production company that created custom props and décor, Event Extravagant Group spreads its umbrella over eight individually run companies: Next Fx (event décor and rentals); Event Drape (pipe and drape rental); Linen Connections (linens and chair covers); Sculptree (decorative metal trees); Designs by Illumination (event lighting, illuminated furnishing and décor); Pure Creative Ice (ice sculptures); and Live Event Décor (human interactive décor). What’s more, Event Extravagant offers customer service 24 hours a day, seven days a week. “Day or night, weekday or weekend they know they can call us,” Irish said. “No one else comes close to offering that.” Irish has produced events for 23 years. He once spent a year on the road planning parties for Cirque du Soleil, and his client list includes the likes of Yahoo, Pixar, AT & T, Caesar’s Hotel Casino, Chevrolet, Make A Wish Foundation and Camp Taylor for Kids, among many others.
