Domino Farms Beast Feast Southwest Movie Set

Ann Arbor, MI - MFS Events designers envisioned a unique event within an event for this celebration. Fifty guests became celebrities for an evening by “enacting” the filming of Domino’s Farms own epic Western. Guests entered a mock sound stage for pre-function cocktails and hors d’oeuvres. They then passed through a lush forest to enter the main set for dinner. Guests received custom written “scripts” detailing the evening’s menu and entertainment. After dinner guests adjourned to an Oscar night presentation where they received keepsakes for their stellar performances and danced through the night to celebrate.
