{{RECAP}} 3RD Annual Moms Night Out: A Masquerade Party!!

0

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.

 

Mom and comedian Stephanie Blum opened up the show and quickly won the hearts of our mamas.  As a mother of three and a former school psychologist, this street-smart Brooklyn native has a strong opinion on just about everything, especially parenting, marriage and her most guilty pleasure, pop culture.

She inspires audiences with her highly-acclaimed one-woman stage show, When I Cough, I Wet Myself and contributes her humorous writing talent to Child Magazine, Parents Magazine, The Hot Moms Club and The Comedy Thesaurus.

 A special thank you to our table sponsors who took the time to spend all night with us and help us spoil our mamas.

Dr. Minna and Ilene of LV Chiropractic and Wellness  spoiled our mamas with 10-minute complimentary chair massages. Before each massage, Dr. Minna took a few minutes to assess each guest to ensure the massage was specific to each person’s needs.

Jimbos naturally brought a wonderful kale and cranberry salad along with reusable branded grocery bags. Jimbos is committed to healthy and clean eating. You will find them around the community sharing delicious recipes and dishes.

Chef Joann donated platters with an assortment of cheese and gluten-free  crackers, plus her homemade hummus paired perfectly with the pickled vegetables. With a deep love for cooking and entertainment, Chef Joann only uses the best ingredients.

Made with Extra Love went above and beyond to create a beautiful display. Her amazing cake pops, tasty macaroons, and perfectly decorated cookies were a huge hit. There wasn’t a piece of dessert left.

Be. Dance Move. Connect came prepared to socialize and entertain. Be. is a non-judgmental space where mamas can come together, dance and connect with a community. Many of the mamas who make up the community at Be. are also a part of the flash mob Bella Lux Entertainment.
