A giant rose-shaped sculpture hung above the invitees while a staff of about 1,200 supplied drinks and food to 380 guest tables draped with red linens. The massive room was cocooned by 36-foot-tall curtains featuring 2,400 twinkling starlit-inspired bulbs.

The menu included smoked salmon; avocado spheres, a salad of hearts of palms; roasted tenderloin with mushroom risotto fries; parsnip creamed spinach, white chocolate raspberry cake, raspberry macaroon lollipops and flavored chocolate truffles.
