An Inaugural Celebration, South Florida Style

Like I had mentioned in a previous post, as the Inaugural evening rolled around, I was reminiscing about my involvement on events in Washington from 4 years ago. Well, times change, clients move on, relationships sever, and life goes on..... 

Place card table
I must say though, I have a couple of clients that I have been fortunate enough to have worked with for quite a while. Michael Ereshena is one of those. His work is always spot on and his attention to detail is one to be admired. This is a shot of the place card table just inside the entrance of the party.

The colors of the evening
Although, this was not an official Inaugural event or even an event from DC, it was still a challenge. An intimate party for about 250 people in someone's backyard certainly had its unique challenges. Obviously, the colors of the night were Red, White, and Blue!

Stage and dancefloor
Once the guests were finished with cocktails in the house, they were escorted to dinner in the back yard. The pool was covered in a lucite cover and tents of all sizes were custom fitted to the surrounding pool deck area by Premier Party Rental. Cindy and her crew worked tirelessly for about 4 days to install this installation.

As I have mentioned before, there is nothing like the calm before the storm. For me, the best time to capture the feel of the evening.

Clear top tents allowed us to light the perimeter foliage and tall Royal Palm trees of the home owners yard.

Here's a shot from the back yard just before the guests arrived.

I hope you liked this little tour. It's a wee bit late now as I have just finished another fundraiser this evening up here in Vero Beach. We cranked out 7 events so far this week and all have been incredible successes. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get around to all of them. Once again, the real thanks needs to go out to my stellar crew.....thanks! One more to go to tomorrow. I hope to post a few from tonight in a couple days or so!
