Above: the DJ booth inside the Moore Building. During the party the DJ booth lifts up and down allowing the DJ to perform on different floors.

Last night, Barton G. hosted a kick off party at the Moore Building and Garden Lounge. Michelle, Doug, and I attended. The party was super cool. The invitation, asked us to “stretch our imagination”, and that’s what we did (see: party pictures).

“Barton G. has exclusively partnered with Bridge House Events to offer a seamless event planning experience at the Moore Building.”

They highlight the “seamless” part by adding a new architectural structure to the Moore building that connects the second and third floors of the space. And to really send home the “seamless” message, Barton has 2 performance artists on staff, who roam through the building connected to each other by 100 ft’ long cloth arm restraints.

Barton calls it a ‘‘funky, Soho-esque’’ space. The four-story, 18,000-square-foot venue can handle 2,400 for receptions, 1,150 for sit-downs, he said.

We got a chance to meet Barton, and he is a warm and friendly guy. I expected someone more dramatic, but he was down to earth.

We almost didn’t go, but I’m very happy we did. If you get invited to a Barton. G event, don’t pass it up.

Our hosts spared no expense. Drinks flowed freely, and there was plenty of food on every floor. I didn’t eat much, but the food stations looked off the chain.

I want to thank, Raymond, from Barton G. for inviting us.
