It was a pleasure to plan Ridgewood Savings Bank's 100th Anniversary Celebration for over 300 guests at the Crest Hollow Country Club. Guests were greeted with an easy digital check-in process and moved to the beautiful al fresco cocktail hour by the Crest Hollow pool. They enjoyed roaming black jack tables, photo rings, green screen photo booth, astounding entertainment by mentalist Phil the Magic Man, amazing music, tech and a black light dance party to cap off the night. 4x8 renderings of the bank's incredible 100 year history were available for selfies and a walk through time. Thanks Party Harty Enertainment for keeping the evening fun and energized. Floral decor by Feriani Florist. Photogrpahy by Bob Giglione.
