How do you re-invent a parking lot and transform it into an event worthy venue? Elite Productions International started by importing a huge German made tent, one that was over 45 feet tall and allowed for the lots’ live trees to be used as a decor element inside. The tent helped transform the gritty lot into a Sexy, “Rustic Chic” space that was able to showcase all things Country.

Sunflowers highlighted the sunny Southern style. Natural elements such as straw, wood and splashes of color filled the venue with old-fashioned hospitality.
Straw bales were used to create cozy seating vignettes, complete with colorful pillows.
The décor inside was inspired by rustic, rural and raw elements – plywood floors, pick-up trucks, and chunky wood tables – created a modern barn dance.

Aromas of down home comfort food filled the air from spicy BBQ and sweet potatoes, to biscuits and peach cobbler. A sweet table was piled high with Krispy Kreme donuts; root beer barrels and other grab and go treats.
Country Rock Duo Florida Georgia Line performed a concert infused with a Southern vibe, and rocked their hot summer anthem – “Cruise” and surprise for everyone – featured guest Nelly.
Hospitality Hostesses’ were professionally, styled and dressed in custom chaps and daisy dukes creating their own Southern Charm while entertaining and handing out promotional goodies – bandanas and bolo ties.
There’s nothing like simple rural livin’ – great company, good food, beer for everyone and shots of Red Hot!
