In case you missed Friday night’s 3rd Annual Moms Night Out, our venue sponsor Encore Event Center graciously provided the perfectly themed room for our Masquerade-themed party. The enchanting drop lights, friendly staff and resident DJ Show Off Swagga kept the party going with banging music and funky dance moves. I can’t forget to mention the on-site photo booth, which printed beautiful memories of the evening.
If you are planning an event, I recommend you check out Encore Events Center. The Myst Hall is one of five themed rooms. Their approach to the one-stop-shop events venue really made the event planning process simple.
