Planetary Health Awards Gala Hosted by Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation at ONE North Broad

ONE North Broad was host to the prestigious Planetary Health Awards Gala Dinner, an event organized by Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation as part of HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco’s visit to Philadelphia.

The ambiance for the gala was set by ONE’s lit-up façade with the red carpet rolled out on the Broad Street sidewalk. Dignitaries & esteemed guests entered the Grand Foyer where they paused for press photos. Upstairs in the Foyer Under the Stars, everyone indulged in cocktails & delectable hors d’oeuvres between exploring the venue’s many halls – each with its own draw. We served 6 hors d’oeuvres options, 4 of which were vegan:

: ‘Ricotta’ Tartlets with roasted squash & shitake

: ‘Chevre’ Crostinis with fig, cranberry & fried sage

: Buffalo Potatos with vegan ranch & celery leaf

: Herb Polenta Bites with pickled shallot, black garlic aioli and lime zest

During cocktail hour, Ionic Hall featured looping video presentations of Princess Grace Kelly’s iconic films, a special courtesy extended by The Princess Grace Foundation. In Norman Hall, the attention turned to Monaco with a looping video showcasing the Monaco E-Prix. Egyptian Hall was outfitted with a backdrop of Monaco for candid photo opportunities. The venue’s knowledgeable museum staff were present to share captivating insights into the building’s rich history & architecture in Renaissance & Corinthian Halls.

Downstairs, The Grand Ballroom was prepared with a gorgeous aesthetic of blue & gold tones. Dark blue floral linens, gold flatware & gold-rimmed glasses were complimented by floral centerpieces by Garnish. Our team created two exquisite menus, including one which was entirely vegan, to cater to various dietary preferences. Each of the 4 courses was thoughtfully paired with exceptional wines, ensuring a culinary experience of the highest order.
