As an event staffing company, we’re always working hard to staff our clients’ events and make sure everything is running smoothly for the front of the house, so it’s not often that we get to the opportunity to throw our own fabulous party!

This year, we decided to close out summer with the power of teamwork joining forces with 1315 Studio Event Space to host a hospitality industry charity event. Nearly 200 guests arrived for an evening full of music, mingling, delicious cocktails, and plenty of photo booth fun courtesy of Laura Little.

Thanks to our generous sponsors we were able to raise $700 for New Yorkers for Children! We could not have pulled off this successful event without the teamwork of our HMG Plus staff, all of our sponsors and the team of guests that generously donated to a great cause and kept the party alive!

Please B Seated helped us create a chic garden atmosphere with beautiful refurbished wood cocktail tables and beverage stations and everyone at the party enjoyed an array of beverages including refreshing, ice-cold beer from Harlem Blue Beer and Cusquena, delightful wine selections by International Spirits & Wines and bubbly cocktails provided by Codorniu.

Tito’s Vodka was a main attraction showing off their mixology skills with handmade vodka lemonades that brought a whole new experience to a lemonade stand!
