GPFO 25th Anniversary
in one of the sound stages on Sunday night (11.14.2010). Feastivities catered the event and obviously these people understand movie magic. The decor, the accent touches, the menu choices, the service and layout and design of the space – all created an atmosphere of fun, elegance and panache!
