Launch of Sagatiba @ Pool Grill

7 05 2008

Sagatiba launched their brand in Singapore at the Marriott Pool Grill. It’s a Brazilian spirit that’s distilled from sugarcane and is used for Caipirintha, Brazil’s famed lime and sugar cocktail.

The evening was beautiful as the sky turned dark… kinda funny how the lighted construction cranes actually makes the shot look interesting.

The organisers did a great job with the invites… We do a lot of events but I’m impressed with this one. A lot of familiar faces and A-list guests turned up for a night of drinking and mingling. Guests were given photocards as a memento to help remember the night with old and new friends.

The lighting was great around the area for photography as well. Of course our new cameras helped to bring out the ambient lights, which would have been quite impossible to catch during events.

There was Brazilian music, models & fire breathers to entertain the guests.

The unique part about the Pool Grill is being able to hold a fashion show right in the water.

The Palazzo is the Venetian’s brand new sister property and together with 700+ rooms, they are the largest hotel in room capacity. It’s situated right on the main strip (it’s the 2 buildings in the background, left yellow-lighted one is the Palazzo and the one on the right of it is the Venetian)

Some took the helicopter rides for a breathtaking aerial view of the canyon.

While the bus ride there took about 3 hrs, the ride there was well worth it. The view is spectacular and most took out their cameras happily clicking away while others took some quiet time for some inspirations.
