This was the first time I had ever heard of The Geraghty. I was attending the Green Tie Ball® XXVII - Green Eggs & Glam gala and this was the location of the event. This was a formal affair and the address threw me off as I couldn't picture where this venue would be located. As I started driving down a gravel road to avoid the long line to get into the lot, I was even more skeptical as I felt like I was driving down a southern backroad with all the dust that was kicking up.
After tipping down the grey gravel road, I entered the venue. This space is huge and truly amazing, very open and inviting. I imagine the décor is designed based on the event., but for this event, it was well laid out with *gasp* plenty of seating to allow you to eat, drink and be merry. The theme of this year's gala was Green Eggs and Glam, so it was Dr. Seuss whimsical. All the decorations suggested you were in one of the books. There were even the Things running around...Thing 3 was there, so guessing Things 1 and 2 were on vacation. The Grinch also stopped by and paid us a visit and the Cat in the Hat and his Missus were there as well.
There were quite a few people at the event, but it never felt crowed. There was a full-size bar as well as a full-size stage. The Geraghty went all out for this event and I have to say that they hit the mark. From the food stations, standing bars, the very comfortable seating areas with sofas and tables...amazing arrangements.
Don't let the location or gravel road put you off. This is an excellent venue to host an event. read more
