2017 BMI Awards Gifting Suite

The vibe at the BMI Gifting Suite was full of celebration, success and positivity, a.k.a. the soul of BMI

BMI supports songwriters, composers and publishers with protecting and licensing their music. In preparation for the annual BMI Awards, media and celebrities were invited to their Gifting Suite at the W Midtown hotel’s exquisitely modern lounge. Guests were instantly greeted with a red carpet rolled out, cameras ready, and and a sparkling ice sculpture decked out in Absolut Elyx, including a swanky layout display of Martell cognac and Avion tequila in front of the complimentary bar.

The venue was adorned with gift tables on the perimeter of the room. There was Cynthia Bailey Eyewear, Mia Adora 3D Fiber Mascara, Trilogy Cigars, Gold & Wood eyepieces and more to spread their luxurious and unique products to celebrities. Rolling Out Magazine was also conducting private red carpet interviews with all of singers, TV personalities, producers, stylists and others included in the fashion and entertainment industry scene.

VP of BMI Catherine Brewton closed out the night with a Belaire Rosé champagne toast of appreciation and reflection. The guests left the event impressed and with many bags of opulent gifts. BMI is known for being a friendly, hard-working and graceful part of the community, and their gifting suite purveyed every part of it.
