Vizcayan’s Evening Under the Stars, a celebration that was worthwhile By Betty Alvarez

The Vizcayans, a non profit group that works to protect, preserve and promote South Florida’s treasure, Vizcaya Museum & Gardens took their annual Spring gala, Evening Under the Stars to new heights on April 29.

Guests had the rare opportunity to tour the historic house and gardens by night and enjoy food, cocktails and live entertainment amidst a chic atmosphere. Inside the house, silent auctions items from exclusive jewelry, Romero Britto artwork, autographed sports and music memorabilia were up for bids. Throughout the event, fashion models showing off the latest Spring collection from Hugo Boss were impressive.

NBC anchor Pam Giganti along with NBC reporter Roxanne Vargas served as guests hosts alongside Leslie Bowe, The Vizcayan’s Vice President and Event Chair who thanked The Vizcayan volunteers and sponsors on helping make this event a great success. Miss Miami made a royal toast in celebration of the Royal Wedding happening earlier in the day who was very excited for the upcoming Miss Florida pageant.

Thierry’s Catering provided a pasta, paella and meat station which guests raved for. Stella Artois had a beer station which provided guest with several different kinds of beer. A favorite was the white beer which tasted like sparkling wine.

Guests could not get over the breathtaking views that Vizcaya Museum & Gardens had and a wonderful place to have such a high caliber event. More into the evening, a huge downpour fell over the historic house, however, that did not deter guests as they danced the night away to the beats of the DJ. It was truly a worthwhile celebration.
