In 2019, the 71st Emmys Governors Ball—the Television Academy's official after-party, held at the L.A. Live Event Deck—drew more than 4,000 winners, nominees, and members of the entertainment industry. For the second consecutive year, the gathering was a reception-style event throughout the indoor-outdoor venue. Cheryl Cecchetto and her team at Sequoia Productions designed and produced the event for the 21st consecutive year, while longtime collaborator Patina Catering created a tasting menu of small plates and reinterpretations of classic dishes. The ball had a 'Brilliance in Motion' theme, evoking swirling water through a dramatic ceiling installation that used more than 310,000 strands of silk thread and almost 77,000 individual crystals.
