Behind the Magic – A Big Success!
Meet the Team who Made the Magic
Behind the Magic’s two-day Gala Tablescape and Culinary Art Showcase welcomed more than 400 guests who met design and catering teams, oohed and aahed over the spectacular gala presentations and delicious taste treats offered by seven top catering firms, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
Held at Private Key, a unique 10,000 square-foot venue in the Wynwood Art District, chairs and committee members representing South Florida’s top gala events mingled with event planners and nonprofit professionals on Thursday night at a private reception to kick off the 2016-2017 social season and celebrate SocialMiami’s 10th annual Gala Guide. Guests vied for two tickets to opening night of The Illusionists at The Arsht Center in October, compliments of Broadway Across America. And Beaux Arts, whose supporters came out in full force, won the drawing for $5,000 in cash. Said co-president Kim Wood, “This donation will allow the organization to invite and transport students from local schools to the 66th Annual Beaux Arts Festival that takes place in January.”
