Once again, the United Nations Federal Credit Union brought in Bookem Danno Productions to produce their annual Winter Reception. This year, we took over the iconic Guastavino’s, located under the 59th Street Bridge in Manhattan. Guests arrived by luxury coaches to an illuminated winter garden at the entrance to the venue. Washed in wintry blues and whites, the venue immersed guests into the frosty atmosphere.
Partygoers enjoyed wintry cocktails and appetizers in the lower lounge, again posing for photo opps in front of the step & repeat wall. After a toast by UNFCU’s president, they made their way up the grand staircase where an international feast awaited them. Guastavino’s award winning chefs did not disappoint offering something for literally everyone. As guests danced to the opening DJ and utilized the photo booth, no one was quite ready for the surprise performance that was to come.
As dinner service concluded, and guests were more than ready to dance, they were treated to a one-of-a-kind performance by legendary DJ Mix Master Mike, the sound of the Beastie Boys! Mike ripped through a two hour set including several of the Beastie tunes he helped to make famous. As the night finally came to a close, guests could grab a hot pretzel from the pretzel cart as they departed to the awaiting buses. See you next year!
