A 100th BIRTHDAY EXTRAVAGANZA: CAROL ROTH'S GLOBAL CELEBRATION AT THE TEMPLE HOUSE / by Eric Monteiro

March is renowned for bringing in the fresh blooms of spring, but in South Beach this year, it witnessed something far more dazzling: the 100th birthday celebration of the indomitable Carol Roth. Organized by her son, Peter Thomas Roth, the event wasn't just a celebration of a century of life, but an homage to a woman whose grace, charm, and spirit has left an indelible mark on many. As if reaching the centenary wasn't magnificent enough, Carol has recently modeled for her son's skincare line on QVC, showcasing that age is just a number.

Set in one of Miami Beach's most sought-after venues, The Temple House, the soirée was no ordinary affair. The magic of the evening lay in the details, and what set it magnificently apart was the world-class projection mapping orchestrated by the masters at United Projection. As guests mingled, they were encased in a breathtaking 360-degree visual spectacle, turning the event space into a canvas that narrated the life of Carol Roth while taking guests on a trip around the world to her favorite destinations.

Drawing inspiration from the theme "Around the World", attendees were not just passive onlookers but travelers on a visual odyssey. This immersive journey took them from the balmy beaches of Miami to the sacred walls of Jerusalem, the romantic lanes of Paris, the historic banks of Budapest, the beautiful architecture of Morocco, the grandeur of China, the dazzling lights of Las Vegas, the serene canals of Venice, and the opulent halls of Versailles. Every transition was punctuated by video-mapped airplane takeoffs, adding to the excitement and wonder.

No journey is complete without the joy of local delicacies. The catering team, with meticulous precision and creativity, curated dishes that complemented each destination, making sure the taste buds also embarked on this global adventure.

Carol Roth's 100th birthday was more than a party; it was a testament to a life well-lived, filled with experiences, adventures, and love. A show-stopping experience indeed, and one that will be cherished by all who had the honor to attend.
