HBO Golden Globes Party
Large-scale animated projections by Bart Kresa punctuated the perimeter of the event space, and an elevated, multilevel lounge over the pool allowed guests to dine, dance, and score a great view. Abstract patterned textiles turned up in everything from the upholstered walls and furniture to multiple 12-foot-long dangling display cases. DJ Spider spun for the crowd, Town & Country provided the rentals, Images by Lighting handled the lighting, Emerging Entertainment managed the sound, and Set Masters handled the custom decor elements.
