Stargazer Productions

What Stargazer Productions does

Stargazer Productions is a privately held live entertainment and event production company founded in 1994 in Irvine, California, and currently headquartered in Mission Viejo, California. The company is owned and operated by co-founders Todd and Jennifer Vigiletti and employs over 50 direct staff including certified meeting planners, graphic and floral designers, audio-visual technicians, licensed electricians, musicians, choreographers, variety entertainers, and wait staff. Its operations are organized around seven integrated service divisions: Event Management, Production Shows, Entertainment, Event Décor, Audio Visual, Costumes, and Theatrical Venue Management.

The company's core assets include a warehouse inventory of more than 20,000 costume pieces, a content library of over 65 original song-and-dance reviews, and nearly 20 licensed Broadway musical productions. It maintains exclusive long-tenured venue relationships, including the in-house audio-visual contract aboard the Queen Mary in Long Beach since 2006 and the operation of the Center Stage Theater in Fontana for the City of Fontana since 2008, where it has produced over 400 performances and hosted 150+ city events. Services are delivered on a quote-based pricing model with no public rate cards, spanning corporate functions, municipal and civic events, hospitality venue operations, and private celebrations.

Stargazer generates revenue through a mix of professional services (event production, AV, décor, costume), managed services (theatrical venue operations), and licensing/royalty arrangements (production shows and Broadway musicals). Its customer base is diverse across enterprise (Gulfstream, Kaiser Permanente, Bank of America, Hilton, Southern California Edison), government (City of Fontana, City of Buena Park, Association of the United States Army), cultural/nonprofit (Casa Romantica), and private consumer segments, with marketing driven primarily by referrals and venue-based visibility throughout Southern California.
