With +500 outstanding retailers in the heart of downtown San Francisco, we were honored when Union Square tapped Pro Media to help in expanding their quarterly events and to also help publicize the exciting new developments in the area.  April 3rd was a night to remember as Pro Media teamed up with the Union Square to host their  ‘Spring Fling’ event, held at Union Square’s newest retailer, Vera Wang Bridal.

Held in the new Vera Wang location, replacing the beautiful 4^th floor space where Jessica McClintock used to be, 150+ invited VIP’s, local media, and Union Square members came together to experience this exclusive event.

Surrounded with floor to ceiling windows overlooking all of Union Square, the event combined both food and fashion to showcase just a taste of what the District of Union Square has to offer.  Guests had the opportunity to taste delicious dishes provided by Bluestem Brasserie, Gitane, and E & O, while sipping on tasty Bols Genever gin cocktails and chilled Chardonnay provided by Wente Vineyards.

Guests had the opportunity to get up close and personal with the beautiful designs of Vera Wang.  In addition to having 90+ gowns on display, ranging from $4,000 – $18,000, five models walked through the event showcasing an assortment of stunning styles and colors, allowing guests to experience the elegance and glamour of the bridal gowns live in action.

Union Square is constantly developing and expanding and we are excited to continue share some of the future plans and news of new retail locations and business with friends, press and VIP’s.

Last weekend we at Pro Media were very excited to go on our familiarization tour for the kick off of our PR campaign with our new client, Destination Saratoga. Saratoga is actually just one hour south of San Francisco and is the “luxury base camp” for the Santa Cruz Mountains. While on our tour, we were astounded by all of the activities, and also high-quality food and wine offerings. We had been to Saratoga a few times in the past, but on this particular tour, were were able to get an insider’s look at what Saratoga truly has to offer. Take a look at some of the pictures we took and read the captions for more details.

Scenic views at Saratoga’s Cooper Garrod Vineyards, complete with horseback guided tours, it truly is a “destination worth knowing.”

With a slew of great musicals hitting the stages at San Francisco’s  SHN, we are excited to have our client Rock Wall Wine Company participating in the festivities! One of those ‘new’ greats, American Idiot, showing June 12-July 8 at the Orpheum Theatre, will be accompanied by Rock Wall’s Wines for their opening night “VIP after party.” The invite-only after party will take place Wednesday night, June 13th at 9:45, directly after the opening night performance. {We thought the name “Rock Wall” was particularly fitting for a play all about rock music.}

If you aren’t familiar, American Idiot is based off of  Green Day’s album {of the same name} and features hits “Boulevard of Broken Dreams”, “Wake Me Up When September Ends”, “Holiday” and “21 Guns”. Check out a sneak peek of the musical here: American Idiot Montage.

If you have tickets to the opening night of American Idiot, {find tickets HERE if you do not yet} rock out!
