Guests arriving at the Bear’s Club residence, by Phoenix Architecture, Santayana Designs and decorated by Susan Gale Interior Designs, were serenaded by Patrick Park’s signature welcoming mariachi band, and entertained throughout the home by opera singer Francesco Valpa and Palm Beach pianists David Crohan and Paul Davis. The Ole’ Ole’ Argentinean Tango Group and dancers inspired guests around the pool to kick up their heels and tango under the stars. Hors d’oeuvres prepared by Christafaro’s Catering included potato cornucopias filled with salmon tartar and tobiko caviar, mini "sliders all the way," ginger shallot shrimp, an Italian bistro station and a carving station of whole roasted tenderloin of beef, smoked salmon and an assortment of mini Cuban sandwiches.
