10th Annual Halloween Gala: Fables and Folklore
We had a great turnout this year at our 10th Annual Halloween Gala: Fables and Folklore! There were so many amazing costumes inspired by Grimms' Fairy Tales, Aesop's fables, and folklore from far and wide. As always, we had two legendary dance floors, signature cocktails, themed décor, a costume contest, and a killer food menu.
Our private estate transformed into a storybook setting! The tent grew into an enchanted forest, Jack’s beanstalk reached up to the orchestra balcony in the Great Room, Snow White’s Orchard tempted guests in the Conservatory, cotton candy was served beside Aurora’s bedchamber, a witch lured guests through the Candy Cottage from Hansel & Gretel, and in the library, guests haunted the wizard’s lair.
Menu items included passed appetizers and mini meals like Mexican street corn fritters, sesame chicken bites, Maine crab rangoon, cider glazed bbq ribs, and mac and cheese bowls. Signature drinks included True Love’s First Kiss and Poison Apple. And of course, we can’t forget about dessert! Candy bowls lined the parlor and a dessert station with cookies, brownies, and cheesecake were displayed under the tent.
We look forward to upholding this tradition next year! Thanks again to our event partners – this party would be dead without you:
