Not since 999 A.D. in Venice has there been a celebration as there will be on December 31, 1999 in Perdido Key, Florida, on the gulf. 8:30 PM - Until.

Please join us as we celebrate the new millennium in Grand Venetian style. The Repast will be sumptuous, stupendous and plentiful. The libations will be the bubbliest best poured by the most elegant, yet decadent masked women, adorned in Perrier-Jouet Fleur de Champagne. It promises to be a spectacular evening of revelry.

 

Black tie of this or any century.

 

The menu and decor of the evening complemented one another perfectly. Traditional crimson and gold Venetian flags hung from the balconies of this waterfront home, while red and white gondola poles studded the water's edge of the property. Decadent fabrics lined stairwells and walkways. Guests were given handmade feather masks and printed menus of the evening's fare as they arrived. The floral arrangements were abundant. Guests approached the kitchen where a "prepared to order" menu was waiting. From the music of a jazz quintet to masked ladies, each painted to match the bottle of champagne that they were serving, the evening was indeed an affair to remember.
