Chris Vanger is the events manager for Hollywood Life magazine. After getting a start with the magazine by volunteering at events, Vanger now oversees annual events including the Young Hollywood awards, Breakthrough of the Year awards, and the Hollywood Life house at the Sundance film festival.
Catering: “Our favorite caterers are the people at CineSpace. They’re really good for Sundance because they bring a whole crew up there [Park City, Utah]. Their food is amazing; everybody raves about it and wants to know who did our food. They are a pleasure to work with, and it’s very high class at a good price.”
Printing: “New Vision Printing does a lot of the printing of the magazine itself, so it’s just a really smooth transition. The company does really high-quality printing of the media wall, and all our other printed materials."
Venue: “The one event we always do at the Pacific Design Center is the Style awards. The Pacific Design Center just [exudes] style. It’s really elegant, and in a great location. We also do events at the Highlands, at Hollywood & Highland. It’s a great venue, really classy. And we like the fact that when you put the media wall up, it’s on the patio that overlooks Hollywood Boulevard, so the public can experience it.Production: “Vox Entertainment has so much experience with our events and do everything perfectly every single time."
DJ: “I hire DJ Spider for all of the events we throw. He is the sickest DJ in L.A.”
