All of the food from Good Gracious Events was so unique. Very different tastes from the usual cocktail party food. Very good!

Michael & Anna Costa, great photographers around here and also great friends of ours.

11H Entertainment did all of the music. It was cool cause they had a DJ, and then they layered live horns and drums over it.

Afterwards, people went over to check out the new Event Gallery space across the street. We are really excited to be apart of it!
