There was lots of glitz and glamour in Cullinan as the CCC (Cullinan Chamber of Commerce) hosted its inaugural “Event of the Year” Masquerade Ball!
Guests entered on a red carpet like Oscar winners and were welcomed by the executive committee of the CCC and received their first glass of “bubbly” to get the evening started.
The “who’s who” of Cullinan businesses attended, although you would not know who they were as everyone was masked and if you did not have a mask – the professional make-up artists were waiting at the entrance to bejewel you with Rhinestones and makeup.
The “Old Rec Club” must have smiled to itself as the glory days returned with beautiful ladies in ballroom dresses and gentry in tuxedos filled its magnificent hall.
The ballroom dazzled with candelabras, wine glasses, silver cutlery and stunningly beautiful ladies being escorted by their dapper gentleman to their seats.
Then the evening started with performances by young local ladies of school-going age, Serelle Odendall & Shanel Steenkamp – the guests were blown away by their talent!
Guests then imagined they were far away in an opera house in Italy, as Helena Ceronio entertained them with her magnificent operatic voice.
As the three course meal started the star performance began with Quentin Prinsloo. He took the evening to new heights with his breath taking rendition of “Purple Rain” and other favourites. Quentin had the entire audience dancing and jiving to his catchy songs!
and just for pudding the naughty “Miss-Oh Burlesque” performers did their show…
The winners of the best dressed couple, lady and gents were announced and each received a wonderful prize.
The pudding & sweets table, generously sponsored by Jonathan Kershaw from Victorian Manor, was laden with a magnificent spread of goodies and a chocolate fountain for the real “sweeties” among us!
The ballroom floor opened and guests spent the rest of the evening dancing the night away….
The Cullinan Chamber humbly thanks all those wonderful persons, sponsors and members and who made this exclusive event possible!
The next CCC Cullinan Event of the Year will take place 12 November 2016 – book your seats early!!
