We have hosted many events in the past, and just like this one, they have turned out successful. The Adiree team was wonderful to partner with. Adiree organized and executed an exceptional event with an outstanding team and turnout.<\/p>\n

We would like to take this opportunity to sincerely apologize for the lack of air conditioning during this beautiful event and we feel the need to offer all of Adiree\u2019s and Sabon\u2019s supporters an explanation. Approximately one hour prior the event\u2019s commencement, we were informed that the air conditioner had stopped working and contacted our maintenance contact immediately. While he promptly arrived to repair the damages, due to the burning out of multiple parts, the repair took about two and a half hours of work.<\/p>\n
