It was a fantastic night! The first year was great too, but we didn’t have Leslie there because of COVID. This year was even better. Nothing but happiness, joy, and appreciation from the attendees. I heard one person say something like, “There was a lot of love in that room Saturday night.” And I think that pretty well sums it up. THANKS

We recently held our annual Community Awards Gala at FAEH, and it was by far our best one yet—thanks in large part to the incredible venue and staff at Field Hall. Our event is complex: a plated dinner for a full-capacity crowd, plus the added challenges of an awards show—fluctuating attendance, a stage, screens, and seating with a view. In spite of these challenges the Field Hall team handled everything seamlessly, and was incredibly accommodating of this special community event. The venue itself is stunning, creating an elevated atmosphere while minimizing the need for extra décor, because the space is so beautiful. This is a huge advantage saving both time and money when prepping for a big event. Even at night the views from the Sunset Room are spectacular, with the lights from the harbor and the ships passing by. The decor and lighting of the room itself makes it feel like a truly special space, and not just another banquet hall. A huge thank you to Ikey, the onsite coordinator during our event, who went above and beyond (which I have a feeling is not uncommon with her). She stayed late the night before to allow us some additional (and much-appreciated) extra setup time and she provided invaluable support throughout the event itself. Ikey's grace and personality shone through at every turn, making volunteers, event organizers, and guests alike feel special. And shoutout to Monique and her bar staff for keeping our guests well-served with great drinks and fantastic service. They managed to be very professional while also being warm, friendly, and fun; the perfect kind of bar service for an elegant event. Hosting your event at Field Hall is an investment, but if you prioritize an elegant, top-tier setting and exceptional staff, it delivers on every level.
