Event planning professionals assisted with stage design, music, lighting, choreography and video

The show’s production team includes: Sandra Keiser and Trish Kuehnl, Fashion Show Directors Kelly Kohl, Model Training Logan Productions, Technical Design Florida Perry Smith, Choreography and Production Jai Cherney, Jai Bird Productions for Music and Sound.
