Organization is the key to a smooth transportation program!

What are the key components when it comes to excellent ground transportation?
Stacie:  First and foremost, it’s all about understanding our clients’ needs. Once we have that down, we can put together a program that meets their expectations and budget!
What is important to know about DFW Airport?
Stacie:  DFW is designed like no other airport in the world! Did you know that it has over 5 different terminals and 28 baggage claims? American Airlines uses 4 of the 5 terminals. This means that your attendees might be spread all over the airport after they arrive. Imagine how confusing it would be if no one was there to greet them at baggage claim? Not a great feeling! Not to worry, we know DFW like the back of our hands and make sure that attendees are greeted on-time and with a smile.
What can a client expect when Outstanding Productions is handling their airport transportation services?
Stacie:  Exceptional service! You can be sure that we  take all details into account to guarantee their transportation programs are seamless.
What have been some of your more memorable experiences?
Stacie: We had the privilege of scheduling air and ground transportation for the amazing artists that performed at the AT&T Performing Arts Center grand opening celebration. We were honored to have been chosen for this unique opportunity to make the first (and last) impression to guests at this star-studded gathering!  

We also transferred all the VIP guests that attended Neiman Marcus’ 100th Anniversary Celebration. That was a fun night as the guests were transferred from all the best hotels in Dallas!

One job that I’m particularly proud of is when we were given an hour to move 2,700 guests from one of the largest hotel properties in Dallas to DFW Airport. This included transferring guests’ luggage from two overflow hotels to the departure hotel, sorting with the main hotel’s luggage pull then making sure all guests were able to find their bags.    No luggage was lost and we accomplished the job in 45 minutes!

What do you feel sets Outstanding Productions apart from its competitors?
Stacie:  Simple…our team of 4 experienced, Operations Managers! We are able to tag team large programs with one manager handling the transportation and the other taking care of the special events to make sure our clients receive the attention necessary to exceed their expectations.

Asian Garden and Nebula in Atrium II

Horseshoe shaped hot pools

What better way to begin the summer in Texas than with the Gaylord Texan’s western-themed 10-acre resort pool & lazy river complex?   Paradise Springs delights guests with entertaining water features, tasty cuisine, outdoor lawn games, and sun bathing decks.  And, with event space for up to 3,200 guests, Outstanding Productions is gearing up for several sunny events!

This stone pavilion sets the stage

No detail was missed as the booth was developed.  Rich red drape was draped from a 12′x12′ stone pavilion that provided the anchor for the design while chocolate banquettes, accented with Asian bolster pillows in red and gold, were arranged underneath for seating.   A lighted coffee table, lit in red hues, anchored the banquettes.  Faux elephant tusks lent drama at the entrance of the pavilion.

The details make this design so engaging

Roses and bamboo were arranged in distinctive minimalistic style then surrounded by LED candles provided the accents around two dragon candelabras across the top of the coffee table lit in red.  Shoji screens were redefined with large, Asian discs.

The hotel's existing art fit perfectly with the booth's design.

While this statue of Buddha seems to be part of the booth design, it is in fact, part of the Hilton Anatole Dallas’ extensive collection of Asian art.  The set was developed with this collection in mind and the results were stunning.

Foliage adds an unexpected 'punch' to this entrance.

To achieve the surprise aspect, the foliage walls were brought to life as champagne was offered to guests through the wall by gloved and bejeweled hands!  While it is not uncommon to be offered champagne, it is another matter to be offered bubbly in this manner.  Guests loved being treated in such a magical manner upon arrival to the amazing evening that lay ahead. 

Magical champagne service starts the evening

That wasn’t the only surprise of the evening.  Buffets were also brought to new levels with the addition of a ‘living table’.  Hand painted models pose beneath opaque tables causing quite the stir as guests wonderful if the statue is ‘real’ or not.  Wasn’t he in a different position a few minutes ago.  Living statues are amazing way to keep guests intrigued with their still poses and subtle position changes.

Buffet tables are brought to life!

Magical and Chic

The Wyly Theater welcomed guests after being transformed into an amazing lounge setting that provided an inviting atmosphere for guests to enjoy the festivities!  Despite a challenging ice storm the week before Super Bowl, our team pulled this event off as though it was held during the spring time.  Innovative elements combined with the Wyly’s incredible space produced a night to remember!

Who wouldn't enjoy this environment?

Tents are an excellent way to offer a stellar event space for clients with a large number of guests.  Our client wanted an upscale interior that would be as appealing to guests as the Glass Cactus.  No matter the time of year or amount of space that is required, we can arrange for tents in any size or style to provide a custom environment.  This tent was placed adjacent to the Glass Cactus at the Gaylord Texas to provide additional space for 1,500 guests.  The tent was lined and lighted to the max to create an environment as exciting as the Glass Cactus itself.  The tent was climate controlled for guests’ comfort and was filled with additional seating, entertainment and fun!  We worked through the challenges presented by unusally cold temperatures (for Texas) and made sure this tent was sublime and inviting.
