Ebell Los Angeles’ 125th Anniversary Live Entertainment Choice
First of all, we would like to say thank you to the Ebell of Los Angeles. We had the honor of being their 125th Anniversary live entertainment. So, the night was beautiful as the black tie gala was underway and they knew exactly what they wanted – to dance! Therefore, we started the night off going straight into dance music to get the dancefloor packed! These amazing members and guests of the Ebell stayed on the dancefloor and danced the night away with us. So, this 125th Anniversary was quite the glamorous hit!
