The Syracuse Community Health Center hosted their Evening of Jazz Gala after a 4 year hiatus. The goal was to bring the Gala back bigger and better. Well, I think we accomplished that. From the moment guests arrived in the parking garage they were greeted by friendly SCHC Staff. We created a dramatic entrance that screamed special event.
Guests walked into the cocktail area to the sounds of Ronnie Leigh.
We built the event stage in the middle of the room and had an amazing backdrop that separated the stage into 2 sides. We incorporated the Cocktail Reception sponsor's logo onto the stage set with a gobo. Cocktail tables were scattered on the dance floor and then removed when it cam for the dancing portion of the evening.
A 16' high white fabric wall separated the cocktail area from the dining area. Sections were draped open to allow for guests to walk between the spaces. We treated the fabric with uplighting for a dramatic effect.
I didn't capture great photos of the dining area and the amazing performance of Freda Payne (who rocked the house with her Band of Gold), so will share those when we get shots from the professional photographer, Cindy Bell.
We spiced up the black spandex chair covers in the dining area with white feather boas - we knew guests would make use of them as the evening progressed. And they did, which made the after hours party even more fun.
A few more event shots from the cocktail/after hours party area.
