Community, Christmas & Celebration Shine at White Orchid’s Holiday Gala
Sylacauga showed up and showed out for a night filled with elegance, entertainment, and holiday cheer at the White Orchid Events 1st Annual Charity Christmas Gala—and the vibes were nothing short of magical.
Sponsored by White Orchid Events owner David Garcia and managing partner Dorothea Hartley, the gala transformed the venue into a winter wonderland full of style, grace, and festive sophistication. From the shimmering décor to the glowing holiday atmosphere, every detail reflected the heart and vision behind the White Orchid brand.
The evening was set to the smooth sounds of The Locked Band, who kept guests in the groove with a powerful lineup of classic R&B hits that had the room swaying, singing, and smiling all night long. Their soulful performance created the perfect soundtrack for an unforgettable holiday celebration.
Adding a burst of humor to the evening, Comedian Free U delivered non-stop laughs during dinner, keeping spirits high and the crowd entertained with sharp wit and crowd-pleasing comedy. The perfect balance of music and laughter made the night feel warm, inviting, and full of joy. Dinner featured a culinary experience prepared by Bre’s Gourmet & Catering (Bessemer, Alabama) and cocktails designed specially for the occasion by Barbara Gratton owner of Dope Since 87 (Birmingham, Alabama)
One of the biggest highlights of the evening came during the exciting giveaways, which included a brand-new television to a lucky guest and a $1,000 donation in support of the Community Care Development Network, adding an extra layer of purpose to an already memorable night. Organizers also announced that the Charity Christmas Gala will now become an annual tradition, giving the community something special to look forward to each holiday season. A heartfelt thank you was extended to the community for their continued support of White Orchid Events, as well as for helping celebrate the venue’s one-year anniversary, marking an important milestone in its growing impact across the region.
More than just a celebration, the event embodied the true spirit of giving and community as guests gathered not only to celebrate the season—but also to support a meaningful charitable mission. With beautiful energy in the room, outstanding performances, and a packed dance floor, the White Orchid Events Charity Christmas Gala officially set the tone as a new holiday tradition in Sylacauga.
