World Renowned Singer Julio Iglesias for a Very Special Private Event

Nothing makes a wedding more special or memorable than the perfect entertainment. And in some cases, when the client wants to create the event of a lifetime, the entertainment required includes some of the biggest headliners in the world. Such was the case when a high-profile couple wanted to celebrate their special day at the world-renowned Marquis Los Cabos. To secure their wedding entertainment they and their wedding planner turned to Empire Entertainment to engage and produce the internationally-acclaimed romance singer, Julio Iglesias. Working closely with the wedding planner, their production team and Julio's representation and production teams across many countries and time zones, Empire was ultimately successful in securing the wedding couple's first choice performer.

Empire completed the protracted negotiations resulting in the contract for Julio to perform. Following the contracting Empire coordinated all logistical, production and creative details for the performance including the complicated cross-border shipping of band equipment. Additionally, Empire worked closely with vendor partners in Mexico as well as Government officials to secure all necessary visas and work permits for the band & crew consisting of nationals from the Netherlands, Spain and the Dominican Republic among others. Empire also worked closely between Julio Iglesias' production team and the world class sound, lighting, staging & decor vendors engaged for the project to satisfy Julio's complex production requirements without sacrificing the designer's incredible vision for the event.

One production issue for which Empire provided the novel solution was the issue of allowing Julio's sound & lighting engineers to mix and light the show from within the intimate and exquisitely decorated wedding banquet room. The problem was that Julio's massive sound & lighting boards would have compromised the decor in the room. Empire's solution? Install drawstring, semi-transparent drapes at the rear of the room which gave the audio & lighting engineers direct sightline to the stage and to open them only once the house lights were lowered for the start of the show. The result? The audience never saw the technical installation or the technicians and the show looked and sounded great. Julio Iglesias was kept a complete surprise to all the guests who cheered when he was introduced by the bride. Julio performed a show of his decades-spanning greatest hits that included "To All The Girls I Loved Before", "Abrazame" and "El Amor", among others, singing in Spanish, English and French. Julio played for over 75 minutes and delivered a truly unique show. After the performance Julio posed for photos with the bride & groom and their friends.

As is typical for large, international productions of this nature, Empire managed every detail of the concert performance from the negotiations and contracting, all the way through to the final execution, and stage management of the performance. Empire is a worldwide leader in the booking & producing of headline talent for high end private events and has a great deal of experience producing major events in Mexico, Central and Latin America.
