Last night we were treated to a lovely evening thanks to our Event Chairs, Brian Jackson from Silver Tray Staffing and Terry Shields from The Rosewood Mansion. 

 

 

Our event took place at the beautiful and versatile Studio 1019.  The space is white and open perfect for events like ours that encourage mingling.  Guests’ first stop was in the reception room where guests were treated to a glass of wine and delicious passed appetizers from Bailey Catering.  Bold Entertainment played music to keep the mood light and fun. 

 

 

When dinner was ready to be served draping from R Fox Designs was opened to reveal the dining room.  The height of the ceiling was accented by gorgeous tall centerpieces that reached upward.  Other tables were treated to low beautiful monochromatic centerpieces, both from Di Fiori.  The flowers accented the beautiful table tops which featured rentals from Celebration Rentals.  JH Pro and In Light provided lighting which turned white walls into brightly colored backdrops for the evening.  Dinner was an absolute treat.  Upscale traditional southern food, which included braised short rib and sweet potatoes, hit the spot for guests. 

 

 

After the presentation was over and raffles were given away, each guest was delighted to receive a Cucalu to take home and enjoy.
