Today, I'd like to share a little love for one of Culinary Crafts's FAVORITE venues: Rice Eccles Stadium!  Recently, we had the honor of catering the Jet Blue "Inspiring Humanity" Gala at this stunning locale and we were reminded just how beautiful this space is!  With floor to ceiling windows to the west and a two tiered layout, this place is sure to appeal to anyone.  Check it out! Rice Eccles Stadium is located in the heart of the University of Utah campus and, man, is it a pretty building! This is one of the fantastic views out of those floor to ceiling east windows.  Pretty awesome, isn't it? On the east side of the space, you get a great view of the actual stadium, which Jet Blue used to showcase their US hub map for the occasion.  The guests LOVED it! And, not to be outdone by the west side's views, the east side windows that overlook the stadium still boast some AMAZING views of the mountains and campus too! This is the mezzanine level of the space which is PERFECT for cocktail hours before a reception, or in this case, the plated dinner and award ceremony.  Added bonus?  The guests had a great time watching the main floor transform and get the final touches before the main event - which definitely increased the sense of excitement! And here is the main space!  Pretty stunning, right?  I LOVE the high ceilings, the cool white walls, and the sense of grandeur that you get when you stand in this space.  Plus, the white walls are just begging to be transformed into your personal vision!  Whether is be a super chic, modern award gala or a vintage, elegant reception - any look is completely at home here. I love how many long tables we got to use at this event - with plenty of room to spare! As the sun began to set, they brought up the shades over the windows and it made for a pretty spectacular backdrop as the awards were handed out! We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE how this event turned out and Rice Eccles was the PERFECT venue!  I'm sure you are all wondering where the details of the event are, but don't worry!  We'll be bringing you more from this AMAZING awards ceremony soon, so you'll get to see all the awesomeness from that night!  Stay tuned, everyone!
