Adrienne Arsht Center’s 12th Annual Gala

The Beginning

The Adrienne Arsht Center first made its debut in 2006. With beautifully crafted architecture done by world renown Cesar Pelli— the center has prevailed as one of the leaders of performing arts. As a 501C3 non-profit organization, the Arsht Center has launched downtown Miami through unimaginable development. Billions of dollars have gone into downtown Miami’s development through the Arsht Center. As a result, with the growth of the Arsht Center, comes the growth of downtown Miami.

The two are thus intertwined as the center proudly represents the diversity that Southern Florida has to offer. The innovative programs that are featured; therefore, properly represent its inhabitants. The stage thus highlights both seasoned legends and up and coming local artists.

Le Basque & YML

We were hired for this monumental event by Le Basque. Le Basque ventures in catering and event design for a variety of occasions from weddings to corporate events. Their outreach mirrors that of ours, as we also cater towards a wide range of VIP events. Thus, YML was ecstatic when called upon to cater our services for the celebration of John Richard.

YML’s Cleaning and Event Services offered a variety of services for the center’s Gala 2018. First, we provided trash removal services alongside post event cleaning to keep the venue  spotless when the event concluded. We want to thank Le Basque for their continued trust after almost a decade of working together.
