VIZCAYA BALL #3
Vizcaya’s 60th annual gala took place in November 2015. Thierry Isambert Culinary and Event Design catered the event and executed full production.
The theme was “A Return To The Gilded Age And All That Glitters,” and this magical evening lived up to that promise. Upon arrival, guests strolled the red carpet leading up to the historic mansion. A cocktail reception awaited them, along with a seafood bar and music by the Florida Youth Orchestra. A decadent multi-course dinner for the 250 guests was served on the terrace overlooking the bay, followed by dancing and a stunning fireworks display.
A record $200,000 was raised from this event.
