EVENT LAYOUT

Custom signage welcomed guests and guided them seamlessly through the space, directing attendees to the left for check-in and members of the press to the right for credentialing and red-carpet arrivals. The layout offered a smooth and elevated entry experience for all, from VIPs to general attendees.


Guests enjoyed cocktails, conversation, and a curated display of auction items before transitioning into the main reception area. The room featured a striking stage and 130 beautifully arranged tables, comfortably accommodating all 1,300 attendees for an evening of dining, programming, and live performances, demonstrating the versatility and scale our venue can support.
