The ballroom hums before midnight — a low current of conversation, clinking glasses and a DJ testing levels while city lights from nearby streets thread through tall windows. Attendees trade winter coats for sequined jackets and evening gowns; photographers line the entrance. This is a formal New Year’s Eve gala designed for guests 21 and over: a full dinner service, live DJ sets, an on-site photographer, and themed party favors that mark the night.
