Hayden Pacquing
From the country hills outside Bakersfield, to the glittering lights of Hollywood, SoCal native, Hayden Pacquing, knew his calling immediately. Raised in a town of 131, Hayden always brought the party. As early as High School, small town keg parties at vacant homes and fields were his first event canvas. At age19 Hayden began to hone his craft taking on nearly every position at local bars and pubs. Hayden launched Bakersfield's first weekly promotion by an individual and not a radio station, and created the cities first after-hours club event. A little over a hundred miles south, an emerging club scene was exploding along Hollywood Blvd. Hayden had outgrown the small town and set off to the glitz and glamour, where he took club promotions and events by storm. Hayden became a partner of One Night Entertainment, an up and coming, high end event planning, marketing, and promotions firm. Hayden led the way, putting together celebrity birthdays, wrap parties, fashion shows, convention after parties and corporate launches. An outstanding reputation as one of the best in the business led to a solo venture producing large scale events and establishing top notch relationships. One of Hayden's choice venues was The Highlands Hollywood, where he would partner in the longest running weekly promotion in Los Angeles. One of his weekly partners, Adam Manacker, helped him co-create, brand, market, and promote what would become a world famous Halloween and New Year's Eve events. This extensive, ongoing work relationship, would eventually lead to the creation of Deep Lifestyle Group.
