The 2013 Royal Ball at Bacara Resort & Spa was an evening full of glamour, opulence, magnificent music and alluring guests, all in support of Santa Barbara's vitally important Pacific Pride Foundation. Merryl Brown Events leveraged our extensive relationships in the event production industry for this event, allowing us to produce an epic event at a fraction of the real cost. Royal butlers served cocktails and delectable canapés on silver trays, while beautiful dancers, extreme stilt and acrobatic performance artists and DJ Mike Bryant kept the crowd mesmerized and dancing until 1:00am. Celebrity guests included actors Rob Lowe, Billy Baldwin, and Joanna Kerns; celebrity chef Cat Cora; producers Shaun Cassidy, and Jeffrey Klarik and David Crane of "Friends". The Royal Ball brought together gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and straight supporters to share a memorable evening of wild fun in support of Pacific Pride Foundation and it was truly the event of 2013.
"When a writer cannot find sufficient superlatives to describe an event or occasion, they've either lost their imagination or simply attended the Royal Ball. I thank you (as do my guests) for a flawless evening and a lifetime memory."
"Last night's benefit for Pacific Pride, the Royal Ball, was SO over the top that words and photos cannot describe it properly. Only Merryl Brown could create an event like this."
