MEET THE EVENT SPECIALIST

Every significant life moment deserves a celebration. When that time comes, count on El Paso event planner Sergio Escorza of Luxor Gold Ballroom to oversee the details.

Escorza has 25 years of experience and knows the ins-and-outs of every celebration. He was born to a family of photographers in Campeche, Mexico, and developed an eye for detail, elements and subjects at an early age.

"My mom got me a camera at the age of 18," Escorza says. "She shared her knowledge. I started taking photos and found that people really liked them."

Escorza launched his business, Hernandez Studio, in 1997, His work initially focused on photography, but innovation pushed him to pursue other creative mediums.

In 2015, he and his wife, Rosa Maria Escorza, opened Luxor Gold Ballroom to assist others with end-to-end event planning needs.

"We offer everything and anything photo booth party bus, limousines, video, invitations, catering, cake, DJs and a great staff," he says. "We don't outsource. My clients don't have to leave our hall to look for vendors."

Escorza and his wife stay on top of new trends to make every event unique and memorable. The secret to their success; however, lies not in the dazzling linens or luxurious décor but in loyalty and service.

"It's about being trustworthy," Escorza says. "We don't cut comers, we guarantee all products, and ensure customers receive great quality service. We're also transparent. I've never changed my company name or phone number. We always answer calls, messages and have an open-door policy."

The high demand for services has the party planner planning for expansion with a second venue in the works Luxor also hosts charitable events for radio stations, religious groups and other nonprofit organizations.
