When photographer Chip Dizard was presented with the opportunity to capture a company dinner, he didn’t realize the magnitude of what was in store. The company had a strict vision for the evening: something professional without being stuffy – something elegant without being boring. From the decor to the menu to the venue itself, there wasn’t a single box left unchecked.

The theme for the evening was “corporate elegance with a touch of sophistication.” Employees, friends and loved ones sat together at a large, beautifully decorated refectory-style table. Berry-colored floral arrangements served as centerpieces along with dimly-lit candles and a shimmering gold table cloth. Guests enjoyed dishes like fresh butternut squash soup, beef tenderloin medallion and grilled salmon filet.

If this dinner was any indication, it’s safe to assume that this company knows the value of its employees. And aside from the flowers and the entertainment and the food, that’s what matters most.
