About the event
Step into an era where excess was the standard and elegance the expectation. On New Year’s Eve, The Ideal becomes what it was meant to be: a gilded ballroom of art deco opulence, where sequined gowns shimmer beneath chandeliers and the air hums with anticipation.
Your evening begins when Diamond Limousine arrives to collect you, sweeping you from your door or favorite restaurant into a limousine and off to The Ideal. Arriving on a red carpet, you pause before a magnificent backdrop crafted by Balloons Etc as a professional photographer captures your entrance.
Inside, the theater’s Belle Époque details — restored to their original 1914 splendor — become the backdrop for a celebration worthy of Gatsby himself. Acclaimed saxophonist Go Benesh and the Go & Company Ensemble command the room with four hours of live jazz, igniting the dance floor in a blaze of brass and rhythm.
