Foliage adds an unexpected 'punch' to this entrance.

To achieve the surprise aspect, the foliage walls were brought to life as champagne was offered to guests through the wall by gloved and bejeweled hands!  While it is not uncommon to be offered champagne, it is another matter to be offered bubbly in this manner.  Guests loved being treated in such a magical manner upon arrival to the amazing evening that lay ahead.

That wasn’t the only surprise of the evening.  Buffets were also brought to new levels with the addition of a ‘living table’.  Hand painted models pose beneath opaque tables causing quite the stir as guests wonderful if the statue is ‘real’ or not.  Wasn’t he in a different position a few minutes ago.  Living statues are amazing way to keep guests intrigued with their still poses and subtle position changes.
