Case Study

Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre's annual Pointe in Time Ball is a grand black-tie affair. Continuously ranked in SCENE's Top Ten Events in Pittsburgh for the last five years, guests are treated to a fabulous cocktail hour and exclusive silent and live auction, followed by a three course dinner and an enchanting table side performance by our prestigious Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre Company Dancers.

While planning our 2014 Pointe in Time Ball, we partnered with Max Miller of Raise Your Spirits to take our cocktail hour and dinner wine to another level. Max was extremely knowledgeable, and made our event staff feel confident from our first meeting.

Through his research, Max suggested a cabernet and a sauvignon blanc from a winery owned by Rodney Strong in California, a past professional dancer! The extra touch helped execute our ballet theme with every pour.

Raise Your Spirits really excelled during our cocktail hour with their custom Whiskey Tasting Bar presentation. Stocked with the finest local Whiskeys, guests were treated to sampling various spirits from a professional, knowledgeable bartender. Our guests we raving about it weeks later, and a PBT Board Member called recently to discuss bringing sometime similar to their corporate event. Having Max spearhead our Pointe in Time Ball wine and spirits was a fantastic experience-- not one glass was empty during the gala! I look forward to working with Raise Your Spirits in the future. Cheers!
