If you’ve ever been to the boutique Padre Hotel in downtown Bakersfield, CA you have ooed and awed at the ornate columns, historic tile work, and vintage art-deco vibes from decades past. So, when the opportunity to collaborate with the Padre for this Halloween dinner party arose, we jumped at the task! Upon entrance, guests were given a new identity for the evening, a role to play, and had to find clues hidden around the room to figure out “Whodunit?!” The Clue-style murder mystery game went off without a hitch, the murderer was convicted, and guests partied like Gatsby all night!
“A little party never killed nobody.”
The dinner party came alive with relics of the roaring twenties. Flapper dresses, pearls, pinstripes, fur coats!

A little reminder, welcoming our guests to the party.
F. Scott Fitzgerald and his “the Great Gatsby” is iconic of the 1920s, so it was only fitting to display his quotes around the party.
Champagne was flowing, and vintage cocktails, such as martinis, were on high demand!
Wonderful hors d’oeuvres by the Padre Hotel
