The evening of the year unfolded at the iconic Bell Tower on 34th, where eight young men about to embark on their college journeys were celebrated in an unforgettable way. The atmosphere was electric, as the renowned Event Producer Roger Igo, brought the theme “It’s a jungle out there” to life with incredible attention to detail.

Guests arrived at the exquisite venue to find the urban jungle in full force, conjuring the spirit of Louisiana’s French Quarter, New York City, Las Vegas, and everywhere in between. Welcomed with “jungle juice,” the attendees were transported into a fantastical world of towering greenery and live exotic animals. Twenty-foot palm trees loomed overhead, while crocodiles, snakes, and even a family of lemurs mingled among the crowd.

The enchanting scene that greeted partygoers beyond the entrance was truly awe-inspiring, featuring a life-sized zebra, an appearance from Tarzan‘s Jane dressed in leopard, and a sushi chef tucked between a live lobster tank and a jungle king’s throne made of swords. An on-site tattoo artist provided guests with semi-permanent ink, as a giant ape presided over the festivities from its lofty perch.
