Here's a few pics from the event on Jan 24th. I really liked how laid back the feel was all evening. It wasn't overcrowded and there was plenty of comfy seating to chill out in. Perfect for winter. The ballroom has amazing floor to ceiling red velvet curtains, so we played off of their colors and added more red and brown. Enjoy!
