In between wine tastings, delicious food prepared by Spilled Milk Catering was served and Fluffness provided custom cotton candy with cocktail inspired flavors. Mixing Maryland DJs kept the party going during the entire event. Electric Events DC provided fun rosé inspired decor while All About Balloons outfitted the space with beautiful balloon art. A photo booth from Booth-O-Rama kept guests entertained, while a braid bar featuring Ian McCabe Studio stylists and a glitter highlight station from Let’s Make a Face gave guests the change to upgrade their look.
