Karaoke & Cocktails – The Ultimate Friends’ Night

Pro Tip: Set up a mini stage, grab some props, and make it a full-on karaoke battle. Loser takes shots!

DJ + Photo Booth - The Ultimate Party Combo

Maybe karaoke isn’t your thing—maybe you just want to dance like nobody’s watching (but also like…everyone is watching because you look amazing). Add a photo booth to the mix, and you’ve got the kind of night that lives on forever. Bring the party to you. Hire a DJ, whether it’s a private loft party, a rooftop hang, or a cute backyard setup. No crowded clubs, no long lines, no boring talks. Just you, your friends, and non-stop music. Good vibes only! 

Brunch & Dinner – A Cozy Celebration
