VIP Party

Our exclusive VIP Party was a night to remember. Our guests were serenaded by the melodies of General Stan, a live steel drum band, that infused the evening with the spirit of the Caribbean. The rhythmic beats created an ambiance of relaxation, setting the stage for an unforgettable night. We arranged for a master cigar roller from Miami Tobacco Traders to showcase the art of handcrafting premium cigars. We watched in awe as these exquisite creations took shape, and indulged in the rich flavors and aromas of fine tobacco—a sensory experience like no other. Our special guest for the evening “The Miracles and Mindgames” of John B. Born, a world-renowned magician and mentalist. He had our guests captivated as he weaves a web of wonder, illusion, and mental dexterity that will leave you speechless. Chantal’s Catering offered a delectable array of gourmet food, expertly crafted to suit every palate. Complemented by a selection of beverages sponsored by Chido, Gulf Stream, Goslings, and Regatta.
