Think Studio LogoWith all due respect to 1960’s pop sensation Lesley Gore, Ryan Salinas and Daniel Figueroa will have no crying in their parties. They will, however accept tears of joy and other expressions of merriment.

Their preference is to be expected, after all, they do run an event production company. This means that they’re in the business of making sure that the venue is gorgeous and comfortable, and that everyone’s all smiles. “Our goal for every event is to say that it was a fantastic party and everyone had a great time!” asserts Ryan, one-half of the duo behind the event production company, Think Studio.

But the perfect party doesn’t happen in a day and as “purveyors of stunning quality, uncompromising service, and inspiring design”, Ryan and Daniel know this all too well. The road to the ideal soiree begins as early as the initial inquiry about Think Studio’s services. Almost without fail, Ryan and Daniel make sure to reply to any e-mails they receive within an hour. Ryan explains,“We hear very often that when a client calls another florist or event production company, they have a slower response or no response at all”. Think Studio, on the other hand, is capable of extending itself for clients and it’s not unheard of for them to start collaborations as early as a year and a half before the event.

In fact, Think Studio is all about going above and beyond the norm in event production, having been created to offer the Houston market an alternative option for their event productions. Before Think Studio opened for business, the choices were pretty much limited to sparkles, red roses, or overgrown gardens. However, with Daniel’s architectural and design background, and Ryan’s communications and event industry experience, Think Studio is able to offer a unique approach to weddings and events.

The pair’s penchant for details and versatile design aesthetic helps them integrate different color combinations (even using non-traditional but no-less gorgeous color palettes), textures, and architectural touches into their affairs. “We are always on the lookout for new furniture, unusual glass containers, or a rather extraordinary piece of fabric that we can incorporate into our events.” says Ryan.

Their ability to bring their customers’ concepts into reality is Think Studio’s main competitive edge. “We encourage our clients to give us

feedback and tell us a general idea of what they want and then we run with it. Most of our clients have a specific vision but they don’t know the components needed to achieve that vision. That’s where we come in!” And they come in full regalia, providing a wide variety of flowers, lighting, and luxury event accessories for any type of celebration. Think Studio offers custom pieces like chandeliers, props, lounge furniture, drapery, and more. They’ve even gone as far as to construct a lightbox bar for a client. Lightbox Bar

Of course, ensuring that their clients’ dreams are realized means that Think Studio’s had to face challenges like working with limited space, existing fixtures that can’t be touched, and ceiling height constraints. That said, rising above these setbacks have actually helped Think Studio produce their best work, and show potential customers exactly what they’re capable of.

Needing to stay at the top in an industry where efficient time management is essential, Ryan and Daniel are quick to appreciate efforts that help them keep to their schedules. This could explain why Ryan Salinas has been ordering their business cards, postcards, envelopes, and letterheads from UPrinting for 2 years now. Ryan enthuses “We are incredibly happy with UPrinting! Ordering online is always easy and interactive. It’s very customizable to meet our business needs and, more importantly, time crunches.”

Ryan also likes the fact that UPrinting helps him exercise his background in communications and that it’s now easier to take a more hands-on role with their marketing endeavors. He says “My generation of business consumer is very tech savvy and knowledgeable. […] There are other colleagues of mine that have spent tens of thousands of dollars on marketing and advertising simply because they didn’t know how to produce it or have the time. UPrinting.com can make anyone a marketing guru!”

At the end of the day, Ryan and Daniel count their successes by the number of people raving about what a great time they had. “Our clients really do have only one shot to make it one of the most memorable days of their lives and we are so privileged that they let us into their lives and get to know them and really do make their event reflect them.

With such dedication from the company’s owners, two things are apparent here: the first is that there really won’t be any crying at Think Studio’s parties, and the second is that Think Studio is also a “do studio” ready to help you throw the party of your life.
