Setting the Scene

With its contemporary elegance and versatile event spaces, both Gallery Bethesda locations offered a canvas waiting to be transformed. Our team at Black Orchid Events took up the challenge to transport residents from the city’s hustle and bustle to a Hawaiian paradise. Guests were greeted by the sounds of Hawaiian music and a warm aloha welcome, complete with leis to set the mood. The venue was transformed with vibrant tropical decorations, tiki torches, and lush greenery, enveloping everyone in the spirit of Hawaii.

Culinary Delights

A luau isn’t complete without delectable Hawaiian cuisine, and our catering partners at Founding Farmers delivered. Guests enjoyed a sumptuous buffet featuring a trio of teriyaki bites, themed handcrafted flatbread pizzas, crushed pineapple shortcake, and an area of other dishes. The tiki bar served exotic cocktails that perfectly complemented the tropical theme.

Unexpected Surprises

Surprise performances throughout the evening added an extra layer of excitement. Fire dancers, traditional Hawaiian hula dancers, and live ukulele performances captivated the audience and added an authentic Hawaiian touch.  Beyond relaxation, this event fostered team building and networking amongst the staff and management team. Our team organized engaging activities, from hula dancing lessons to tropical-themed games, promoting interaction and collaboration among attendees.
