The Party at Geoffreys – The Room and the Food.

Geoffrey’s Inner Circle – 410 14th Street – Oakland

June 1, 2013

The party was held on the 2nd floor from the top of this 26,000 sqft facility. It was a challenge to decorate for this event because it takes a lot of stuff to fill the space of this gorgeous 6,000 sqft upstairs dining room, but I think we did it AND did it well. Take a look at the work done by our workers and the inner circle staff.
