Barry Chiorello’s Second Story Productions takes a three-prong approach when designing and managing events.  They look at their clients’ mission and goals; they look at participant needs and concerns; and they look at target audience members and the best way to attract them and generate the desired result.

Second Story Productions believes that whether an event is designed to build business, enhance a city or organization’s image, increase tourism, or raise funds, each event should create a magical experience in people.  “We believe that our events should exceed people’s expectations.  In staff and volunteers we look for people who are enthusiastic and passionate about being of service to people.  After all the planning and development is done, it's the people that really matter.  They are the heart and soul of an event," says Chiorello.  "We like to make sure that they are touched by the event."
